I Love This Camera, But... Any ideas?

I'm not an expert but just offering a suggestion which is to try some other batteries, even alkaline for a start and see if there's any difference. Maybe the batteries you bought are not holding a charge for some reason. I'm using Sony NiMh which i got with the Sony charger that i purchased here and although using a different Canon have not experienced this problem at all.

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.

I am familiar with the problem, but don't know the answer. The autofocus is too slow and frustrating when trying to take quick shots. I am looking for a replacement camera.

Thank you for your response. I seem to do OK with close up but longer focal lengths give me a hard time. I may send it in just for them to check it out. I like the camera but I havent ever been so stymied before.

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 have a Canon, and didn't have a problem. Maybe try googling your problem, someone probably has a solution already out there.

Gerald, did you ever get this issue solved for your camera? My niece just got one from a friend and she's having the same problem! HELP!

Thanks, I was afraid of that. A friend that bought it will probably be returning this camera because of the lack of that feature. :(

I leave the i-Contrast turned ON. That might help. I also find when I use the ZOOM I need to give it a second or two to focus and then I can take the photo. Still learning too but love this camera!!!!

The motorized sounds you are getting are not normal in my experience. I have no sounds from the unit during video and no sounds out of the ordinary during normal everyday use. I would look into a return/swap out for another camera.

Thank you very much for your response. I was beginning to think I was the only one with this problem. Your explanation is probably correct. I have had two other digital cameras and neither had this problem. I doubt if much can be done about it...

I have had the same problem occur with my camera 3x! I had the camera repaired in Aug and Oct '07 thru Sony for just the charge of shipping it to them. However, it happened again yesterday and I'm looking into what it will cost. Their website says $141 because it's out of warranty. Not happy with that, so I've emailed their customer service. I was just looking online to see if anyone else has had the same problem, or if it was just my camera. How long have you had yours? I'm very happy with my pictures but not so happy with having to keep getting this thing fixed!

yeah, it's not a great camera to begin with and it's probably breathed it's last breath. My camera has always been blurry and I've been disappointed with it. It's dead

I think what may help is motion detection. I already asked the tech support guy and he said they are working towards this functionality. I would think it be done soon over the next release or two. So far my camera works great so over all its a good by. good luck ;)

Sorry, I can't help. I bought this camera for a vacation that got postponed. I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. :(
