Snowy LCD on Kodak z712

In that case, you need to bring it to the repair shop to check what the problem is. LCD screen is to sensitive.

Viewing the screen in bright sun is a problem for 99% of point and shoot cameras. 1% still have an optical viewfinder you can look through to frame the picture. Also, looking at the screen with polarized sun glasses makes the problem worse. There's no solution except to upgrade to a DSLR camera.

Press the MENU button. Use up/down to highlight "Date Stamp" and press the OK button.

If you have a PictBridge-compatible printer, you can simply connect the camera to the printer using the USB cable.

Alternatively, you can copy pictures from the internal memory to a memory card. Press the Review button, then press the Menu button. Press up/down to highlight Copy, then press OK. Continue on to select your desired options.

It is not possible to buy a viewing screen for KODAK cameras.

I've had the exact same problem with mine. My wife was ready to buy a new one, but I didn't want to giveup the nice optical zoom on the Z712 IS. Checking out the web and a friend of ours with the same camera, it appears to be a common problem. My last time to try the camera, I took 19 pictures on brand new batteries and they died. The Kodak site doesn't really acknowledge a problem with the camera, but I found the latest firmware (1.06) and just walked around the house taking pictures with flash. At 25 pictures, I'm still going strong. Definitely worth a try to see if it fixes your problem: http://www.kodak.com/global/mul/service/downloads/DownloadFile.jhtml?locsvcsEntryPath=10807&product=EKN033025&operatingSystem=windows_xp&lang=en&type=firmware&downloadId=dln00179_file1&variant=false&pq-path=14091

LCD cameras eat batteries... i bought dollar store batteries for one of my cameras once.... one picture per set of batteries... I recommend you purchase a good set of rechargable batteries and a charger. I actually have two sets ... one in the camera one charging. Now on to the lcd screen... you need to look thru the menu for that camera to see if the setting for the screen is off. On one of my cameras the screen is actually defective... which in some ways is good as it less of a drain on the batteries... incidentally it is a kodak as well.
