Can someone tell me why I need to reset the time everytime the camera turns on? Does the camera have a defect or I'm I doing something wrong.

You need to set to the proper time zone. For example, if you're in California, set it to -7. If is not set correctly it will reset itself to whatever time zone you have.

You're having to reset the time because you are unplugging it from the constant power supply. It has no internal battery system, so if you want to keep the correct time you will have to keep the unit plugged into a constant power outlet.

You need to set your hour offset from GMT. Then set your time. If you look at what time it says when you turn it on you can also just go change your offset until correct time is displayed (without changing your time). This is a way to set it if you are not sure about time offset. IF YOU DO THIS IT WILL HAVE CORRECT TIME AT STARTUP FOR YOUR LOCAL AREA. You do not have to have it on a power source when not in use. I have mine set and when the ignition is off there is no power and when i start up time is spot on local time. So it is not just setting time, the offset must be correct for your geographic location then when clock is set you should have no issues. It took?me a whioe to figure it out so do not feel bad. Directions are lacking much detail. Try www.timetemperature.com/tzus/gmt_united_states.shtml for offset listings.

Maybe the remotes have different frequency's? OR use the camera's self timer.

I had a similar problem. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. You must have your camera set in Timer mode for it to work. Point at the front of the camera where the sensor is. Kind of worthless to be honest.... Luckily it didn't cost much. Probably should have returned it. I bought one for myself & my son. Never of us use it... Timer on my camera works better.

I have the same problem, I can do a one time recording but not a timed recording. According to the instruction manual set up for time recording and set input on/standby switch to standby. What am I doing wrong.

I never had any problems with mine, still works perfectly. On the camera, there is there is switch option, as enter the camers the switch is @ top right hand, you will find a a camera symbol click to switch to your desired option. If it fails you know its faulty.

What malfunctions did you have? My camera has been operating flawlessly day after day.

If you have not purchased this camera yet I would advise not to do this. It has been servicing for 1 week. As other customer wrote, after batteries discharged and were replaced with new ones the camera didn't switch on and doesn't react on any action. My request to the shop remained unanswered.Regards

I got the camera and plugged it into the wall using the charger and hours later have no charge at all on the device. did i do something wrong? Is the battery dead? It beeps 3 times and then nothing.

I had the same problem for a while. it was some sort of "zoom lock". Finaly came on and displayed the warning "Zoom Lock". Eventually had to replace the camera. Sorry if bad news.

I don't know, James, because we sent the camera back! Something that only records for 10 seconds when it activates was not what we needed. We got a netcam instead! Goggling the camera model doesn't turn up anything?

I'm having the same issue. The camera has never worked. It freezes as soon as I take one picture. I just bought it in July, so I'm sending it to an authorized repair shop (as per Kodak), to see if they can help. It does reset if I pop out the battery, but it takes one photo, and then locks up again.

Same thing happened to me. The camera needs to be active, not just on. For example I have a nikon d3100 and the display/ view screen needs to be on. It has something to do with providing power to the card.

It may be that you have inadvertantly turned the IS function off. Check your user manual to make sure you know what should be displayed to indicate the IS is on. Even if it is you still have to hold the camera reasonably still, all cameras.

Hi Emily, it could be you need a new battery or to take it to camera store that fixes them.and have them check it for you. Good luck

Yes. Send it back right away. The camera is faulty. Other than that, just to be absolutely sure go into camera settings and reset all to default before you make a final decision.

I'm having the same problem I think these cameras are faulty. I am clearly not impressed with mine.

Take battery out charge even though it's fully charged but charge again for a few minutes then put battery back in and that should fix the problem. It shouldn't happen again that's what happened the first time I used my camera
