The C182 isn't a battery charger. It uses standard AA batteries, disposable or rechargeable. If you use rechargeable batteries, you must charge them outside the camera using a standard battery charger.

Hi I am Vortash I know this might sound silly but check the battery is in the correct way round .. if your like me and changed the batteries to my easy share I forgot a couple of times and put them in the wrong way round ..( even we make mistakes ) reversersal of the batteries cured my problem and added to my embaressment lol .. other than that check the batteries havent leaked and if they have look in the battery compartment for signs of damage rust etc .. and if you are still using the easy share battery that came with the camera .. it might say it is charged but may not be mine was dead and wouldnt charge afyer about 6 months use .. Regards Vortash

Your fix could be as simple as cleaning the camera's battery contacts,
or it could be something more serious and expensive. Before you pay

Kodak Easyshare C160 digital. How do you set the time and date?
SOURCE: Is the kodak easy share c180 digital camera webcam?
I won't say the camera is usable as a webcam because you will definitely severly shorten the life of the camera by using it as such. Firstly the camera is designed to take photos and short videos, NOT being left on continuously for use as a webcam. The heat generated by doing so could damage the delicate CCD (the part which collects light from the lens and converts it into electrical signals) Secondly most cameras are deigned to switch themselves off after a certain period of non use. Not handy for webcams.
Next there's the power issue. Unless you are using an external power supply for the camera you will be forever replacing batteries and for what an external power supply costs you could buy a proper made for the job USB powered WebCam complete with focus and sometimes zoom.
Next there's the mounting issue. Where will you mount the camera to give a well lit and steady picture of your face. Definitely not on top of the monitor due to extra heat generated by the monitor itself. Mix that with camera's heat and hello, and too soon, goodbye camera.
Webcams cost $20 if ou shop around maybe cheaper. OK your cmera will give a better picture but at the distance you're talking it won't matter. Plus you will need software to generate the webcam picture. MSN is a good webcam program. Plus depending on the output of the camera, usually only video. You may need a video capture card for your computer. The camera will give you a full screen image of what it's pointed at but you need a box to put a smaller picture in on the screen otherwise all you will see is one big face, yours.
So do you really want to wear your camera out prematurely simply because you can't afford a $20 webcam. The made for the job unit is cheap, will stay on all day and the power comes from the USB port. Everything you need and cheap. I think you know which way to go.
Good luck

all i did was downloaded format factory "freeware" installed it and that's all. It installed the necessary co-decs and you can also change the format to .WMV a fraction of the original AVI size.
