Kodak EasyShare M853 Digital Camera Questions & Answers
White lines
This camera is nine years old. It is worn out. Replace it.
Upload to computer
The best way to transfer 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 management program such as Picasa (

Camera will not turn on
I have had the same problem. Can be of two things.
1) Issue with the charging circuit. When you plug your charger on it should indicate a yellow light. If not, either your charger is not working or your charging circuit is not working. Go to the store and get them checked.
2) Issue with the battery contacts. Simply take out the battery and get a cotton bud and clean the battery contact both on the battery and inside the battery compartment.
3)Issue with the charging circuit and the internal circuitry. You will have to take it to the KoDAK store. I would recommend buying a new one.
Could i over charge my camera
Normally you don't over charge a battery, when it is charged for some extra hours. The electronics should stop the current. And when your computer is still working it should not have killed your camera. But be aware that as long as the camera is attached to a computer or a charger you can't switch it on.
Depending on how old your battery is and how it is used in the past, the battery could be gone. But it is not only to blame on the last charge cycle. Try measuring the voltage of the battery with a multi meter. The voltage should be a few tenths of a vat above the voltage printed in the battery.
I think your battery will be like 3,7 volt, and when charged the multi meter should read 4 volt. Anything below 3,7 volt means the battery is dead. (at least not fit for your camera)
It is better and safer to charge the battery on an external charger in the future.
Camera won't charge
sometimes the charger can become loose in either the camera or the plug so try buying a new plug and if it still doesn't work then it is a problem with the camera and you will have to ask the people you bought it from

Lens won't open
Lens errors are fairly common. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. Or the battery ran down with the lens extended ...
Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can try that may (or may not) correct it. They only seem to work for less than 40% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty (or repair cost approaches that of the camera), they're worth that try. Some of the later steps do involve some risk to the camera, so carefully weigh your options before deciding to conduct them:
