KODAK C653 HOW DO I SAVE PHOTOS IN A FILE WITHOUT KODAK CHANGING MY DAY TO DAY DATE AND CREATING A NEW FILE?

Hi
Rather than use Kodak Share For the date, use it purely for finding the file name of the picture. Then go to Windows Explorer, open the Kodak disk, and find the file name you are looking for (using search is probably easiest). When you have found the file "right-click" on the file and then click on properties and a box will come up with all the information you will need.
Hope this is helpful, if so would you please register that with Fixya
Cheers

ALTERNATE WAY TO TRANSFER PHOTOS AND VIDEOS TO COMPUTER
If your photos are stored on the memory card, then remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into an USB memory card reader. Connect this USB memory card reader and memory card into the USB port of your working computer. Your computer will see this as an USB Mass Storage Device or an external storage device; you can then open the folder on the memory card and copy the photos to your computer. Memory card reader is a handy device and is inexpensive. You can copy photos from other cameras and you can also download photos off your memory card to someone else's computer without the need of installing any programs.

The EXIF date and the file system date are two totally separate things. As long as you use tools that maintain the EXIF data you will still have the original information.
I rename my photos using XNview so that the name of the file is based on the EXIF date. i.e. <Date Taken[y-m-d]>(xxx).jpg where xxx is the three digits from the original filename.

Depends which date.
 - The file date can be done by resetting the computer date, opening the file, saving it as something else, change the computer back, delete the old file and rename the "save as" file.
 - If you mean the date in the EXIF data, you need an EXIF editor - Google for PhotoME.

C653 doesn't support either file formats.
So unfortunantly this is not possible using this camera model.

Hello my friend,
The easy way to upload pictures to your computer is to take the memory card from your camera and insert it to the memory card slot of your computer. i'm not sure if MAC has this slot on their computers but you can look for a PC or Laptop to do that.
if you don't have a memory card slot in your computer, you can by an all-in-one memory cards reader which is very cheap.
Best Regards,

go into your menu and find date - punch through until you see off.

Check what type of file type the Kodak is creating, it may not be a JPG. If its not you would need to look in settings or check the manual to see how to change the camera so it saves the files as JPEG'S.
Or the long route compress them into JPEG'S on your PC.

this camera has an internal clock battery, which must keep the date or any other related information while you changing the batteries, the problem is, since you camera is pretty old, the clock battery is probably long dead, it can be changed, but it will require disassembling and resoldering
