Can I recharge V1073 Kodak digital camera by putting USB plug in computer or do I have to have an AC adapter to charge it?

Kodak EasyShare Z650 zoom digital cameraUser guide

Battery charging options Visit www.kodak.com/go/z650accessories for:
Kodak EasyShare camera dock series 3 - powers your camera, transfers pictures, and charges the Kodak Ni-MH rechargeable digital camera battery.
Kodak EasyShare printer dock series 3 - powers your camera, makes 4 x 6-in. (10 x 15 cm) prints with or without a computer, transfers pictures, and charges the Kodak Ni-MH rechargeable digital camera battery.
Kodak 3-volt AC adapter - powers your camera.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the AC adapter included with the Kodak EasyShare camera dock or printer dock to power your camera.

The battery in this camera has to be removed and connect to an AC adapter to be charged.

• Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL10
• Charging AC Adapter EH-68P

That depends on the camera. Kodak has at least three different cameras with a 530 in the model number.

The C530 uses rechargeable or disposable batteries. If you want to charge rechargeable batteries, you will have to use a separate charger, the camera does not charge them.

The M530 will charge via a computer's USB port. However, be aware not all computer USB ports put out enough current to charge batteries.

The V530 requires the power adapter or an external dock to charge the battery.

From your description I think you mean the M530 but I can't be sure. If you still have problems, please feel free to ask, specifying the exact model number.

The camera should have came with either an Ac-adapter or a USB cable to charge the battery. Plugging the camera into your computer and letting it sit will charge the battery if it didn't come with an ac-adapter.

Also, if it takes disposable batteries, you may want to invest into one of the recharging kits and rechargeable batteries.

Good luck!

After you plug it in you have to turn the camera on. Then open the easyshare software and go to "add pictures". But the camera must be powered on for the computer to see it.

Kodak has 3 types of charger that can be connected to a wall socket
USB AC Adapter - is especially useful when traveling, away from your computer, or just plain on-the-go. Connect your camera's USB cable to the adapter and plug it into a wall outlet to conveniently charge your camera.
5V AC Adapter - Provides in-camera charging for all KODAK EASYSHARE M and V Series Digital Cameras

Good luck and please rate

Make sure the camera is fully charged. It will shut off if it can not pull enough power off the battery. If you have a dock that you use to recharge it or a wall plug-in, plug the camera into it. Push the power button. Having it plugged in by-passes the battery. It should turn on when it is docked or plugged into the wall. If plugging or docking the camera does not turn the camera on, you have an issue that Kodak will need to resolve. Don't forget to have proof of purchase and check to see if your warranty is still valid. Hope that helps.

is the light that's coming on green or red?
if it's red, there's a charging error - contact kodak, they may provide a 5v ac adapter to resolve your charging issue

if it's green, was it blinking or solid? is the battery drained?
if the battery still has a little charge on it, please connect it to the computer then turn it on, check if there's power light
check if the screen is black - that means it's making a connection and the charging is the only issue - computer not detecting it, maybe resolved by kodak's software support

if the camera screen is active - that means there's definitely something wrong with the camera

arrange repairs with kodak, include the battery and usb cable
