Question about Olympus Camedia C-740 Ultra Zoom Digital Camera

EasyShare camera lens is extended and will not retract, camera will not stay on either

Hi, I have a Kodak EasyShare Z650 camera. It worked fine and suddenly it shut down for no apparent reasons. Batteries were changed but that didn't help. When put on the on position it makes a strange sound theflash will pop up, the lens stays in the same mode it was in when the problem started, there is a flashing light on the selection wheel and the camera shuts down without the lens retracting. Can someone help me out, please. Don't reallly know what to do to repair it by myself. Sure hope it is repairable.Would really like to finish taking pictures of the baby robins in their nest before they fly away.

Kodak easyshare Z650 lens extends and retracts

I only can think of two reasons. The first, the battery does not have enough power. As a safety precaution it shuts itself down, to avoid damage to the saved pictures. Because if the voltage is to low, it can't write with 100% accuracy.
Second: something is blocking free movement of the lens. This could have a cause inside the lens barrel, and you won't see a thing. It also could be a minute damage on the outside of the lens. Or what sometimes happens while putting the camera on, you touch the lens barrel. I assume you did remove any lens cap attached to the camera.
So if you can't see any damage to the lens barrel, charge the battery and try again.

Try this: take out the memory card, then try to turn on the camera.
My camera would not turn on even with new batteries. For a while I have been having issues with uploading as well. Suddenly it would no longer upload by plugging the camera into the laptop. However, taking out the memory card and plugging it directly into the laptop worked.
The last time I did that, I put the memory card back into the camera while the camera was off. Then the camera would not turn on. I took the memory card back out, then turned on the camera and it came on just fine. Then I put the memory card back in with the camera on. So far so good.

The problem in the cc circuitry and the motor driver, depending on parts availability it may be repairable, or total lens replacement may be required.

Hi, i have a kodak easyshare z650 an i put a new sdhc card 8gb it not the camera not working i need a solution so pleased give meone thanks

Just use a 2GB "SD" card,,The Z650 will not accept any of the newer, faster cards available today. Just carry a spare, if you plan on using your camera for lots of pics/videos. Cheer's, Andy.

Hi,

You no need to fix this problem. This is a CCD failure and in some cases had been subject to a recall.Contact Kodak support this may be one of the recalls and replacement camera could be on its way. They will do it for free of cost.

Thank you !!

I've got the same camera and it works best with Lithium AA batteries if you not using the bigger one.

RE: CANON A720 digital camera RE: CANON A720 digital camera The top portion of the plastic "catch" for the battery compartment door has broken free (probably from the constant pressure of the springs pushing the batteries against. Is this a material/design flaw? Will Canon fix the problem to correct what amounts to a defect. Camera has not been dropped or damaged.
