How do I turn off the flash on my Kodak easyshare z1285?

The firmware is at the Kodak website listed under support and downloads, Be sure to get the file for the Z1285 camera and not a wrong one !!! Go to www. kodak.com and click support.

I've had a similar problem with my Z1285.

The problem is probably weak batteries. The Z1285 requires really good batteries. Standard alkaline batteries don't last very long, perhaps a few dozen shots, less if you are using flash.

I've had success using lithium batteries, not the rechargeable type, but the disposable lithium. Specifically, the AA4 Energizer Ultimate Lithium.

Hope this helps.

please take your camera to a service station to get it checked, they will probably reset it from inside to start up again

You can download a manual for your Z1285 at

Please rate this solution. Thanks.

Memory card support for Z1285: SD/MMC up to 2 Gigabyte and SDHC up to 8 Gigabyte.

There is no firmware available online for this model.

The last option could be that the lever on the SD card is making the SD card data protected. Please turn the lever to the correct side.

I hope it works out

Pls. use lithium batteries Ni-Mh or rechargeable Batteries (2000 M.Amp or higher).
Make sure that you are installing a fresh/ full charge battery

Remove the battery
Clean the metal contacts on the battery using a clean cloth

Pls test with an alt. batt.

You've got to clean the battry contacts with a, dampened in rubbing alcohol, Q-Tip Do the same to the battery and the charging station.

You could have damaged the battery connectors.. I have done that a few times.. If you open the battery compartment can you see if anything is loose? or if anything has broken off? If so, and you have the warranty on the product.. you can contact Kodak and send them the camera to have it fixed...

Are you using the batteries listed as compatible according to the cameras battery door? Or are you using NON-compatible Alkaline or Ni-Cad batteries? Only Li-Ion and Ni-MH are compatible. Hope this helps...
