I turned on my camera with fresh batteries and the lens extended then it shut down but the lens stayed extended. I then tried to view on the favorites button and things work internally (such as picture viewing etc.) but it won't take pictures and the lens seams to be jammed in the extended position. My camera is a Kodak Z650.

Kodak EasyShare Z740 Turns Off Fix




Does your Kodak EasyShare Z740 Turns On Then Turns Off right away?
Does your Kodak EasyShare Z740 Turns Itself Off with new AA batteries in it?

Many of these Kodak EasyShare Z740 cameras that shuts off right away and will not stay on, will actually stay on if you select FAVORITES to view pictures, but just flash back and turn off if set to auto or camera mode. Try this.

If the lens cannot extend, the camera will turn itself off. You can try giving the camera a thump with the heel of your hand, but I would recommend servicing the camera rather than smashing a delicate digital instrument. After trying the steps below, a last chance alternative that works for some people is to grab and actually PULL the lens out as it tries to extend itself. Again, its delicate; if you can afford it, maybe pay for servicing before hitting and pulling on your camera.

However, before servicing your Kodak Z740 try this fix:

1. Hold down the Time/Ascending Folder button (the button under OK on the circular panel)
2. While holding that down, press and hold the ON/OFF button.
3. The camera may turn itself on and stay on this time, acting normally again.

If this doesn't work for your try this:

1. Hold down the '>' button (the one that brings you to picture review)
   
2. While holding that down, press and hold the ON/OFF button.
3. The camera may turn itself on and stay on this time, acting normally again.

If that doesn' t work, try again with the 'Trashcan' button, and ON/OFF button.

I hope that helps.
