I have a Kodak Easyshare M1033. When my camera turns on it wants the date and time set and none of the buttons work!

Press [MENU]. Use cursor-left/right to highlight Setup, then use cursor-up/down to select Date&Time.

What you have to do is click the menu button right of the review pics button. Then click the joystick right then down until its on date stamp option. Click it and then then click the off option. And voila the date stamp is off :-)

Set these from Setting option from your camera.
For east access follow the photos hereunder



Thanks & waiting for your feedback.

Ii understand your problem description as the camera turns off immidietly after having shown the date and time.

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.
4. Pls test with an alt. batt.
If you do not have access to a dif. battery.
Pls. take the batt out of the camera. Insert the charger into the unit from the main socket and turn the camera on. If the camera works you will need to replace the batt. If not you will need to order a No power repair.

take the battery out and when you put it back in and power up it should ask you for the date/time setting...
