In order to adjust the ISO; please go into the Menu (Capture+ tab) and set the ISO for 64, 100 or 200 in order to reduce the darkness. However this will lead to slower shutter speeds in low light.

Also try different SCN and ISO to see if problem still persists.
If the problem is intermitted, try to find a pattern in to when the faulty pictures appear.

You could have a problem that requires professional repair, but a simple download MIGHT solve the problem. I suggest that you visit the Kodak download site (link below) and install the latest firmware for your camera.

2. Install a multimedia player which can play the camera videos (.mp4, .mpeg, .dat files) like VLC Player, Real Player, KMP Player, etc.

The lever on your SD card might be turned the wrong way so the SD card is reading protective.
Please turn the lever and try again.

The SD card might not be supported by the model: Your camera Memory card support is: SD/MMC up to 2 Gigabyte.

The SD card might not be faulty, try another card, since the camera could give you a message like the one you're experiencing.
Try with a different SD card that is supported by the camera.

Question : What batteries can I use in my digital camera, and how long do they last?
Battery life depends on how you use your camera, the type of batteries you select, and how you handle the batteries.

Your camera is compatible with: KODAK Li-Ion Rechargeable Battery KLIC-8000 and KODAK CRV3 Lithium Batteries: A non-rechargeable battery. (so your battery might be in need of a change)

Using Your Camera

Some features, such as reviewing pictures and using the flash, require more power than others. Follow these guidelines to get the best use of your batteries:

• Limit the time your camera is in Review mode.
• Limit your use of the flash.
• Use the LCD Dimmer or Auto Power Off features, if available on your camera.
• Transfer your pictures to your computer using a compatible power adapter, camera dock, printer dock, or memory card reader.
• Check that the latest firmware is installed on your camera. See Software, Driver & Firmware Downloads.

Handling Your Batteries

• Wipe the battery contacts with a clean, dry cloth before loading it in your camera.
• When using your camera in temperatures below 41° F (5° C), carry spare batteries and keep them warm.
• Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; they may be usable when they return to room temperature.
• Do not allow batteries to touch metal objects, including coins. Otherwise, the batteries may short-circuit, discharge energy, become hot, or leak.

If this doesn't apear on the print pictures taken directly from the SD card. It has something to do with the settings for the picture transferre on your computer.
Try and reset/adjust the settings within the transferre programe. I cannot tell you the eact steps for that since it will depend on the programe you're using. But it can usually be done right before transferring pics to the computer.

If helpful pls. recommend/rate me and or give me a review. TXS

Is this appearing in all the SCN or only in AUTO, in all light conditions and/or only on the LCD or printed pics also?
