Battery power/and or lens motor/ if lucky the lense connection, (Try removing the lenses and puting them back) may be a bad electrical connection.

    some batterys are not the correct type, to prove it i bought several packs of panasonic special power AA zinc carbon batterys, these seem to only work on certain things, dont ask me why but if i put them in my kodak z812 they do not work, if i put them in a torch the torch works ok, weird, duracell batterys work 100% ok, and most rechargeble ones

You may have the same problem that i had. It does involve taking the camera apart. Not overly difficult - just fiddly.

SOURCE: LENS DID NOT RETRACT PROPERLY

Sorry, but there is no safe DIY fix for your lens problem, and any attempts at homebrew repair will likely make the problem even worse. I suggest that you take it to a local camera shop (NOT the camera department at a chain store) or contact the customer service/support folks a Kodak.com to arrange repairs. Be sure to get a firm price before you commit to anything though. The fix can approach the cost of a new camera, and repairs typically only carry a 30-day warranty.

The zoom lens is stuck in the out psition and won't retract!

Risky method!
Switch off, replace fully charged batteries, grab the inner-most tube (smallest) of the lens assembly and gently pull outward. Keep your grip and power on the camera. There should be some vibrations from the motor. Let go your grip and see if the lens retracts to its housing.
If that fails, take it in for a repair.

How to retract a stuck digital camera lens

If you have ever had the problem where your digital camera lens is in the out position and won't pop back in. This happens sometimes if the gear which retracts the lens gets stuck. I can't guarantee that this will work for all cases. If the gear is stripped or there is a more serious problem it may not work.

What you want to do is to tap sternly on the camera body. Don't bang it against something hard or the body may crack. Just give it a good wrap with the flat of your hand. I have used this technique a few times to unstick stuck lenses.

Camera lens stuck

The lens has probably got something in the retraction mechanism that is stopping it retracting. This can be something as simple as sand or grit or as a result of a drop or knock. In most cases the camera will need to be stripped apart to remove the lens assy before it can be repaired. This is best left to a professional camera repair shop.
