20 Most Recent Kodak EasyShare M583 Digital Camera Questions & Answers

You don't need any special software in order to use your camera.The best way to download 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, despite what I said first, you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.

If the pictures taken are slightly misty, using a soft lens tissue (or spectacle cleaning cloth) wipe the lens delicately in one direction until the 'circle' has gone. Don't 'huff' on the lens as this will cause condensation INSIDE the lens. If this fails to fix the problem, it may well be condensation build up inside the lens. If you have a sachet of silicone crystals (like the wee bags that come with a new pair of shoes), place the camera inside an airtight container with the sachet. Leave for minimum of 12hrs. This should absorbs any if not ALL of the condensation inside the camera.

The most difficult part will be to buy a new screen. I guess here are list of phone repair shops, that could do the job, but buying spare parts from Kodak is a challenge.

hello my camera is CANON CP1267 has a problem when turn it all right but the problem is when I want to take a picture appears error memory card that I can do tell me urgent thanks

Hello, Push MENU button, scroll to set-up, scroll down to FORMAT

use a card reader & put in the SD card,then copy from there in My Computer or if window pops up choose there.

To the other so-called solutions: your "solutions" sucked.Here's how to do it: Click the "settings" icon on the screen. You get there by clicking the sides of the silver square surrounding the "ok" button (if there are no icons on the screen then click the "disp" button). Then in settings arrow down to the option that says "safe mode" (near the bottom) and change it's value from "Yes" to "No". Then the "format" will become available (2nd option from the last). Format the internal memory. Tada! Clean slate.

The codec on mac does not recognise your file....try using a different player....vlc....gom player...mx player...instead of the one iTunes insist on chaining everyone to.

Move it back again. Did you do any editing in the computer ? If so, the camera will no longer recognise the images on the card.

I have a Z981 myself. I just set my camera as you did (to "A") but did not experience the issue you mention? Just to be clear, remember that setting the camera to "A" means "Aperture priority", meaning that you can control the lens aperture (with the "jog dial" on the top of the camera) and the camera will automatically set the shutter speed to create a proper exposure. "A" does NOT mean automatic exposure control. You must use "P" (Programmed) mode to make the camera make all the decisions about shutter speed and lens aperture. I am including a web link to the User Guide for the Z981. You might want to revisit the Guide to make sure you are using the correct settings for your pictures. BTW, I like my Z981 quite a bit, especially the zoom. I've taken some great pictures with it. http://resources.kodak.com/support/pdf/en/manuals/urg01118/Z981_xUG_GLB_en.pdf

Surely this information is included in the technical specifications at the rear (probably) of the camera manual ?

Sounds like your screen is toast and time to find a new camera. They are not cost-effective to replace on a lower-cost camera.
