Hello, Sounds like you may have a battery problem. The DX6490 battery loses it's capacity over time, If the battery is a couple years old they are known to fail. May not be any problem with camera, try a new battery and let it charge completely before installing it.
Best Regards, Russell

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:

I believed that you are using the battery came from the box the KLIC-7004 which is very good. Now since the battery indicates its charge, first thing you need to do is to removed the battery and Memory card, Now wipe the 3 metal contacts of your battery then reinsert only the battery in your camera then Turn It On. If the camera shuts off try to used 5V AC adaptor to Turn On the camera, If this failed to turn On using the AC adaptor It means the camera needs of service call Kodak Tech support toll free 1 800 421 6699 ext 12

Hello, Well it sure sounds like you have a defective battery.I have several DX6490 cameras and have bought brand new batteries that were defective right out of the package !!!! MADE IN CHINA, need I say more ? Quality control is not one of their finer points,Try another battery from a different supplier there are many on E-Bay. This will probably solve your troubles.

Kodak DX6490 camera doesn't turn on. The light continueously blinks.

Hello Cynthia, Well there can be several reasons for this, First thing is to try a known good charged battery as these have a problem as they age not having enough power to boot the camera which requires quite a bit of power to start because of turning on the display, operating the lens motor,charging the flash,etc. This would be my first check before you go any further.

My kodak easyshare V1253 Powers up, then shuts off

You have damaged your lens. If the camera can not move the lens it goes through a built in diagnostics test and shuts down. Beyond repair as cost to replace is beyond the value of your camera.

Kodak DX6490 Not Charging

mine did the same thing, only it hadn't been dropped. Turns out, the battery went bad. The repairman said that the life of those batteries is only about 3 years average. He also said the average lifespan of the camera itself, with frequent usage, was only 3 years! I am still hoping to get the auto focus fixed on mine though. I sure did love that camera.

Zoom and camera shuts off

Verify you have the right kind of battery and fully charge it.
The lense issue you describe commonly happens when the device cannot access enough power to function correctly, so it retracts and powers off to avoid getting your lense stuck in the 'out' position if the battery goes dry.
