Camera requires repair,. Call Kodak at 1.800.235.6325

Assuming that you have fresh or fully charged batteries installed, chances are that the problem is corroded battery contacts inside the camera. Remove the batteries and clean the inside contacts with a fine wire brush, steel wool, or fine sandpaper. Remove any residue that's in the camera from the cleaning, then reinstall your batteries. Hopefully this will cure the problem and get the camera back up and working the way it should.

If that doesn't do the trick, you might want to try your luck with the Kodak Troubleshooting guide at:

It might mean you have 260 images on your card and you either need to download them or delete some of them to make room on the card.

The camera needs to be returned...it is defective.

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:

These can be set in the setup menu.

Use the vacuum cleaner to suckout the dust/sand particles stuck between the lens casing and the body.

The problem you describe is frequently the result of dirty/corroded battery contacts in the camera. Try removing the batteries and cleaning the inside contacts with a fine wire brush, steel wool, or fine sandpaper. Remove any residue left from the cleaning, then replace the batteries. Hopefully all will be well.

If the cleaning doesn't work you might want to check the Kodak troubleshooting guide at:

Get out your manual and read the chapter about file transfers. It should be fairly simple to move the files from internal memory to external memory.

I have vista on my computer and I looked on kodak help site and I did not find any updated or conversion software for the Z1275 camera.

I use a SD card and then put the SD card in my computer to transfer pictures.

Fixing your problem could be as simple as cleaning the battery contacts in the camera, or the solution could be a lot more complex and expensive. Here's a link to the Kodak Help Center - it provides a simple Q&A format to diagnose the problem and propose a solution.

check your graphic card and double check if all the cables are in place

I semi resolved the problem with my Kodak Z1275 with this suggestion; Step 1, making SURE the batteries are good. Then, position the camera with the lens pointed up or down (depending on stuck lens position, USE GRAVITY AS YOUR FRIEND) and gently tap on the lens just as you turn on/off the camera. You may have to do this several times before the camera will close the lens. From my research this camera has a faulty mechanism for the lens which causes the software to recognize a lens failure thus shutting down the camera. Poor designed lens mechanism! I now am using my camera again, but regularly have to remember to allow gravity to assist in lens opening (turning on) and lens closing (turning off) as well as occasionally giving it a light tap or in extreme cases lightly assisting the lens opening/closing. Hope that helps! Oh and I don't suggest buying another Kodak camera!

Hi
Digital camera's eat batteries mainly due to flash being used all the time.
If you don't need to use the flash don't, it will last longer.
The best batteries i found to use with my camera are Duracell Alkaline.

Thanks for choosing FixYa!!

Common problem with this camera. NOT a battery issue, but could be power issue (possibly from a short either with battery connections or on board of camera). Tapping lightly on side of camera seems to resolve in most cases. Problem may reappear. Without service it won't really be "fixed" and even then if they can't recreate problem they won't find solution. Kodak is very aware of this issue but won't respond on it. Good luck.

dear it has nothing to do with on and off its simply a setting problem

use NiMH batt.

simply change the batteries as the batteries are unable to tale the load internal damage because of not using regularly.
