I have a Kodak EasyShare C530 that I use all the time. Lately the camera won't connect to the computer to transfer pix. I just get the image the camera is facing-no black screen before the connection is made. It will usually transfer them eventually, but only after many tries. Help!

Is the camera able to use a 1gb card? Use the Camera Setup Menu to Format the Memory Card. Use camera Setup menu to tell the camera to use the Memory card instead of the Internal memory.

Kodak easyshare c530 has SD/MMC card expansion slot. So you can use any SD(secure digital) or MMC(multimedia cards) storage devices.
Sample pics below: SD mmc

No download is required to view videos on your camera.
It could be caused by a fault in the firmware however unfortunantly there is no update available online.

Please note:
There is no volume button since this camera has a microphone, but no speaker.
You can only hear the sound when you transfer the file to a TV or computer.

Question :
How do I transfer pictures from the internal memory of my KODAK Digital Camera to a memory card? Answer :
Follow these steps:

1. On the camera, press Review and then Menu.
2. Select Image Storage.
3. Change to Internal Memory.
4. In the menu listing, scroll down to Copy, and select OK.
5. Select a single picture, or select All.
6. When you have finished copying pictures, reset the Image Storage location to your original setting.

Red light indicates that the battery is out of charged., Now if th ebatetry is out of charged there will be no chances for you to connect it using your computer., C530 will not charged using the USB cable., try to charged the batetry or purchase new sets of battery

first - check physical connection:
when the camera is connected to the computer through usb, the camera should be turned on, nothing will appear on the screen and you will see a flashing light from the camera signifying that it's "making a connection"

if, the camera screen is active while connected to pc, that means it's not making connection so check other USB port, like the back -it's more reliable as it's directly connected to the motherboard, not a hub like that of the one in the front of the tower

when it's showing a flashing light, check if the computer shows an "image transfer window" - that will appear if you are using Kodak Easyshare Software, if you don't have it installed, check if WIA (Windows Imaging Acquisition) transfer options will automatically pop up

If not please check this
rightclick on My Computer> properties> Hardware> device manager

1. check if the cam is a subcategory of the Universal Serial Bus Controllers -

a. IF IT IS, highlight it, rightclick and select Update Driver, select bottom options until it asks you to choose between "Kodak Camera" and "Digital Still Camera", select "Digital Still Camera"
now it will update then check if it would appear under "Imaging Devices" (if you have XP) or "Portable Devices" (if you have Vista)
a transfer window should appear using WIA, then follow prompts
a.1 if it created it's own category under Device Manager, open my computer, select your camera and it will act like a removable disk, so you can copy and paste pics


b. IF IT IS NOT, please check if it's under a Kodak Category (open my computer, select your camera and it will act like a removable disk, so you can copy and paste pics) or Imaging Devices/Portable Devices, righclick on your cam model or kodak camera> update driver, select bottom options and at the part where it asks you to choose bet the kodak cam and digital still, please select the Kodak Cam, then an Eeasyshare Software Transfer Window should appear (that's if you have Easyshare Software)

you can dl it from www.kodak.com/go/easysharesw

Once you have connected the camera to your computer, click on Add Pictures instead.

hey, yes you can transfer pictures from the computer to your camera...you take the memory card from your camera and insert it in your computer (if you do not have the slot to insert the memory card you cannot transfer pictures) thn sync pictures to the memory card and then insert memory card back into camera.

I have a c143 and my battery compartment door is broken . I tried duct tape but that didn't hold.

Hey B418,
Formatting will delete all your pictures on your camera or memory card. The camera might be prompting you to format because the the camera's memory is full. To avoid losing your pictures I would connect your camera to a computer, download your images to your computer first, and then format the memory.

Sincerely,
Allan
