Here are the steps:

1. Make sure you will install a new or fully charged battery/batteries into your camera.

2. Clean the battery contacts.

a. Remove the battery/batteries and the memory card from your camera, then wipe the battery contacts with a soft, clean cloth.
b. Reinstall the battery/batteries into your camera

3. Without the memory card,turn on your camera.

If issue persists, call 1.800.235.6325 for repair.

Thanks.

Remove the batteries and clean the battery contacts inside the camera with a soft cloth (a heavy buildup on the contacts may require cleaning with a fine wire brush, steel wool, or sandpaper). Remove any residue that the cleaning leaves in the camera, and then reinstall the batteries. This clears most power-on problems, but if yours persists, check the Kodak troubleshooting guide at:

    This problem is frequently due to corroded battery terminals inside the
    camera. Remove the batteries and wipe the terminals with a soft cloth
    (heavy corrosion may require a fine wire brush, steel wool, or
    sandpaper). Remove any residue left in the camera by the cleaning.
    Clean the terminals on the batteries in the same manner, and then
    replace them in the camera. This cures most problems, but if it
    doesn't work for you, check the Kodak troubleshooting guide at:

It is likely that foreign matter got into the lens mechanism. I have a a truly junk one. I took it apart to clean out sand particles in the mechanism. Unfortunately getting the thing back together correctly is near impossible and now the lenses are fouled. Go through the kodak troubleshooter as indicated in prior posts and send it in for repair. Of course, if it is out of warranty I wouldn't bother. Very likely to cost more to repair than replace.

My kodak af 3x is frozen the lens wont close and it wont turn on. The light is constantly flashing green. It was working fine and then went black and is frozen.

First you should take out the battery. Then give it a few seconds and reinsert the battery. Make sure there is enough power in the battery.
The camera should start from scratch. (Cold boot) and it should detect the lens is out. Then it should retract.
If there is a visible defect on the outside of the lens perhaps it won't work.
On the other hand, if the lens stays out, it could be there is a defect on the inside of the camera. Something mechanical in the lens barrel, something electrical like a bad connection off a (flat)cable, or just the electronics.
If the error comes back, you should visit a service centre.

Kodak easyshare Z650 lens extends and retracts

I only can think of two reasons. The first, the battery does not have enough power. As a safety precaution it shuts itself down, to avoid damage to the saved pictures. Because if the voltage is to low, it can't write with 100% accuracy.
Second: something is blocking free movement of the lens. This could have a cause inside the lens barrel, and you won't see a thing. It also could be a minute damage on the outside of the lens. Or what sometimes happens while putting the camera on, you touch the lens barrel. I assume you did remove any lens cap attached to the camera.
So if you can't see any damage to the lens barrel, charge the battery and try again.

My camera will not stay on is off and stuck with lens out

If the lens doesn't retract on most digital camera the camera also will not turn ON. It is connection or wiring between camera power and camera lens.
What Kodak Rep will ask you to do are:
1. Remove the battery and the memory card of the camera
2. Check if your using a recommended battery and if its new or fully charge. batteries for Z1275 are Ni-MH rechargeable; CRV3 Lithium; 2AA Lithium
3. Insert the batteries back in the camera in correctly
4. Set the camera in Auto mode (its the camera icon on the dialing mode of the camera)
5. Try to turn it ON
If still will not turn ON and the lens will not retract
6. If your using a rechargeable battery Kodak Rep will ask you to charge the battery until its fully charge.
If your using a disposable battery they will ask you to try to use a new battery out from the box.
After all those steps still the camera failed to work, it will be send for repair. The number of the Kodak support line is 1 800 235 6325 (23KODAK)

Camera won't stay on

I may be able to help with your Kodak EasyShare Z740 that turns itself off.

It may be a 'lens extending' problem, or it might be fixed with a combination of button presses to reset it while turning it on.

Try these steps to fix your camera.

I hope that helps.

Kodak Z700

Hi,

Tentative solution:
I had the identical problem. I went as far as disassembling the camera ... not recommended.

Instead of fussing with the lens cover, I pressed on the lens assembly (gently), the lens retracted and the lens cover closed.

My camera works now. It will be my last Kodak.

Good Luck,
Mike
