The problem is that the lens has become stuck in the barrel. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional. Use these at own risk as it may further damage the camera. Firstly, try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable. Try holding the shutter button while switching on the camera.

Look at the lens, and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down). Try gently pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.

If your camera is still under warranty and has definitely not been subject to misuse then contact the Canon service department in your country to find out about a free repair (but as your camera has been dropped this will not apply). If the warranty has expired though a professional repair will far exceed the cost of replacing your camera. You will therefore have nothing to lose by trying to fix this yourself.

My USB cord is connected to my Kodak V1073 camera but, the computer is not detecting it. How do I get my pictures to my PC from my camera?

After you plug it in you have to turn the camera on. Then open the easyshare software and go to "add pictures". But the camera must be powered on for the computer to see it.

Kodak v1073 lens cover won't open when camera is turned on

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:

How to fix a popped off lens

Try turning the camera on and off a few times. If it did not go in while turning it off gentely push the lense in. You might have to try this a few times. If the lense retracts, but not all the way in, push the lense a litte harder in. When the lense is 100% retracted, turn the camera back on, the lense should pop off. Your lense is probaly dirty. Need to clean it and keep it clean always.

Good luck

No matter how long I charge my Kodak V1073, it just says insufficient batter when I turn it on. I'm lucky to take one picture before the battery dies.

If you just recently purchased this camera, please contact or call the Kodak help line. You may have received a battery that won't charge. Batteries need a charge at least once a month to keep them at maximum preformance. Leaving the camera battery uncharged for long periods of time can cause the battery to fail sooner than it should. If you do need to set aside your camera for a long period of time, put a full charge to it and then remove it from the camera. Most cameras (video cameras included), even if they are turned off, can trickle the charge down on your battery.
