Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about how to find the manuals, drivers, downloads andsupport for Digital Cameras.

Things to check first for a camera that won't turn on are battery contact points, and micro switches that are located on the battery and memory card doors. Troubleshooting tips on other things that need to be checked may be seen here. These tips won't work for every case, but they're worth a try.

Please download new firmware:

Connect the camera with the computer.
Turn the camera on.
Click onto the link and follow the instructions.

Hello

Thank you for using FixYa for your problem


Your camera is faulty. It should be taken to an authorized repair centre for a repair estimate. Very few digital cameras have any user-serviceable parts.

Please rate our solutions and if you still have problems please call back for more ideas to help you

Thanks

do you still have your instruction manual? if that has no help, try going to a best buy or a camcorder and asking for help.

Try using the Kodak CRV3 lithium battery, I will cost you, but the battery works. The z812is is to powerful for any rechargeable battery.

Hi, you will only solve this by buying the official KODAK battery (KLIC-8000) - NZD52.00 retail here in New Zealand. Even the generic CR3V rechargeable batteries dont work, so dont waste your $$ on them.
Even now, with the 'official' battery, when taking flash photos or zooming a lot, I find that it is only taking around 150 - 200 shots, when Kodak boast over 400.
But I must say the capabilities of the camera (esp the quality video) outstrip any annoyance battery wise.
Hope this helps, regards Wayne

kodak z-612 , z-712 , use 52mm to 58mm adapter. a z-712 has threads they are had to see but there there.
