Someone gave me a Kodak EasyShare MD853 camera but they did not give me the cd that came with it . I am having trouble with transferring my pictures from my camera to my computer. I can't get it to do that. Can you please help me?

KODAK EASYSHARE Software is only compatible with KODAK EASYSHARE C-, CD-, CW-, CX-, DX-, LS-, M-, P-, V-, and Z-Series Digital Cameras; and DC4800 Digital Cameras. If you have one of these camera models, go to Step-by-Step Solutions and Repair tool to help resolve this problem.

If you have one of the other digital cameras, you cannot use KODAK EASYSHARE Software to transfer pictures to your computer.

In order to answer your quarry.
Please describe your fault.
however her is a link to your camera models trouble shooting guide:
http://www.kodak.com/global/en/service/products/ekn034681.jhtml?pq-path=15119

That is completely normal, as soon as you hook up usb cord, the camera screen will be blank. It will function just fine and normal.

On the newer versions of Easyshare
7.0 up to 8.0
there is an option to CD/DVD Burn

Just simply insert the CD on your Computer and Put the pictures you wanna burn on the Picture Tray<right side pane on easyshare>
Click on the icon for CD Burn

If you have a lower version of Easyshare

visit www.kodak.com/go/easysharesw
you can download the latest version from there
but before downloading it
make sure you remove your current version
so it will not conflict with each other

goodluck...

Hope this helps!

hi! my sister-in-law gave me a MD853 camera last week from Canada. I used it over the weekend when we went on a trip and the pictures and videos i took were great. Last night, my daughter took a picture of me and when she took a picture of her brother, there was only white on the screen...like a moving white sheet with colored edges. I thought she destroyed it or something. I tried to use it but now the screen is all black...last night only the video worked but this morning everything is black. The other programs in the camera works so i suspect the problem must be in the lens. I'm in the Philippines and if I send it back to Canada for repairs it would just take a long time and it will be expensive to send it back. What can I do? I really love this camera... help!!!

the answer can be found on pages 39 & 40 of the User's Guide for the Kodak EasyShare M753/M853/MD853 zoom digital camera
