Do you really want the Kodak software?The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).If you really want the Kodak software, you may download it from http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/list/c/890/selected/true
Nothing bad will probably happen if you don't turn off the camera before inserting/removing the memory card. But something bad is less likely to happen if you do turn it off first.I suggest you get into the habit of turning off the camera before inserting removing the memory card.
Since the computer makes sound, it sees your camera. The problem might
be you did not go all the way with the connection processs. If you
can't use the usb port with other usb devices, your usb driver might be
disabled or corrupted. Check your usb driver through the device
manager.
Press the flash button (marked with a lightning bolt) to cycle through the flash modes. To turn off the flash, select the lightning bolt in a circle with a slash through it. For full details, see this page of the user guide.
The non-functioning of the camera can be a fault in the shutter, zoom or auto focus sections and may be due to the failure of the Main control system or the drive. A simple was is to reset and we can try by removing the battery and card for some time. Now replace only the battery and while switching power ON, tap the lens hood on the palm of your hands so as to disengage any dirt or mechanism being struck. You can spray a degreasing spray on the lens hood sides and also assist the lens as it tries to come out, attempt to pull it out slowly while powering ON the camera. Also in some cases you can slid a thin film/paper on the lens hood sides to wipe out any dirt.
Tips to open and check for common faults: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2Mj3Qp3xYU&feature=related Use some air to blow between the lenses to dislodge any sand particles struck inside. Unless you are familiar with handling of small devices must you try and open. If so check the voltage on the motor drive check the auto focus and Zoom drives, it must be free with manual movement. If jammed the motor can be removed and released. If none of these works then you can think of taking consensus with the service centre.Get estimate before you decide. It will be good to have it checked at the authorised service as you do not have to run around for spares.
Press the MENU button. Use cursor-up/down to highlight the setup tab (three horizontal sliders) and press the OK button. Use cursor-up/down to select Format and press OK.
This is one of the early kodak cameras to first incorporate video capability along with picture taking. Unfortunately, kodak did not include a microphone with design of the camera. Sorry, the camera is not capable of taking video with sound.
According to the manual, the C310 has a fixed-focus lens with a working range of 0.85 m (about 33 inches) to infinity. So, anything only ten inches from the camera will be out of focus.
The C310 will accept SD cards up to 2GB in size and SDHC cards up to 32 GB. 1GB SD cards are getting hard to find, but 2GB cards should work just as well.
