You should be able to use an SD card to get the images off, and plug the card into your laptop. And yes, you can always install the software from any other camera and try it out!

reply to this comment

Some cameras reset when you remove the batteries for about 10 minutes. Otherwise, you have to go into the menu settings to choose reset. So try and keep the battery out for awhile and see if that does it.

That usually means a depleted battery. And as that camera gets older, it's lithium ion battery will lose capacity. So even though you think it's charged, it may not have enough juice to properly run the camera. I'd try another battery. I'd also clean your battery contacts with a pencil eraser.

If there's a firmware update, you'll be able to find it at kodak.com. While there, I'd chat with a tech support person about the issue to see if there's a service advisory. But you're correct, it sounds like a bug in the firmware.

Charge Battery how to for M763 only? (kvr10 — 11/14/2009)
Kodak M763 has a 3.7V Rechargeable Li-Ion battery but I have no idea how to recharge this. It is completely flat and has only been used once at Christmas time last year - please help?
reply to this comment
by James DeRuvo (11/19/2009)
I believe the M763 uses USB Charging to recharge the battery. You connect it up to your computer using a USB cable and it charges. HOWEVER. By default, there is a power management feature in Windows which turns off USB ports to conserve energy. It's a dumb idea, frankly. But to access it you right click on my computer, select properties. then device manager. right click each USB hub and select power mangement. uncheck the box that says "allow windows to turn off usb hub to conserve power." Do this for every hub.
In addition, any front USB ports away from the main USB ports in the back do not carry enough electrical power to charge the Kodak camera. You must plug the USB into your rear ports.

Try resetting the camera. This will reload the firmware and change the camera back to it's factory default settings. Secondly, see if there's a firmware update. Download and install it. If that doesn't cut it, you may have a failing CCD that needs to be replaced. Hopefully, your camera is still under warranty.

My recommendation is that you invest $20 in a USB memory card reader. Plug your SD card into it and your pc will read it as a drive. Then it's a simple drag and drop onto your mac and you can use any program you want to manage your photos. Then delete the photos USING THE PC and you're back to shooting pictures.

Larry (03/24/2009)
Yes, get a card reader right away and NEVER again connect your camera directly to the computer via the USB cable. It is constant problem on this and every other forum. I don't know why the manufactures even send the cable and software they do since it generally doesn't work in some way or other (not even including trying to keep up with upgrades in firmware etc.!!). Card Readers are worth every dollar and solve virtually every transfer problem immediately making transfers smooth and pain free.
Also check out Picsa3 which is a free software program from Google. It will work with your card reader and keep all your images organized in your computer. So you put the memory card in the reader, plug it in the USB port, install Picasa3, click on IMPORT button in the upper left hand corner and you can download any or all of the images as desired. It's simple and it works every time.

when i press the power button on my camera, it just turns on and off. i can't do anything. how do i fix this? (westsidechica — 10/12/2008)

reply to this comment
Aditya D (10/12/2008)
If you were at the beach it probably got sand or moisture damage. Try two things, first try to use a compressed air can, or small powerful vacuum to see if you can blow out any dust or sand. Then, (I know this sounds kind of weird, but it has worked with some electronics that have moisture problems), try going online and finding some very absorbent salts (something a little better than table salt, NaCl), then leaving your camera on top some of the salt for a while. Finally, you could also try these solutions for lens problems if its that: camerarepair.blogspot.com/2... . But these are a little bit riskier and last resort kind of stuff.

This happens to my camera too. After a full charge it turns on for a couple of seconds, the lens extends, "Kodak Easyshare" appears on the screen then it turns off, the screen goes blank and the lens retracts. Interesting that the only suggestion on this board is to clean the camera.
Has anyone tried a new battery for this problem? I don't want to spend the money for a new battery if that won't solve the problem.

Place the camera flat on its back on a table, pointed at the ceiling. Press and hold the shutter button down, and at the same time press the power-on button. The idea is that the camera will try to autofocus while the lens is extending, hopefully seating the lens barrel guide pins back into their slots.

If yours is the same as the black screen cases reported <a href="camerahacker.com/Forums/Dis... here </a> and <a href="digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... here </a> , then we have reason to suspect that the camera sensor is faulty.
As 4-5 months means the camera is still under warranty. I would contact Kodak straight away and arrange to send it back for free servicing and repair.

by James DeRuvo (10/02/2008)
I'm inclined to agree Bukit. But first, try resetting the camera. This is a fairly easy procedure which involves either going into your setup menu and choosing "reset" (or intialize), holding down the menu key for 5 seconds, or, removing the batteries for a few minutes. It may be that the firmware loading got corrupted and the camera just needs to be "rebooted," which is something that turning it on/off won't accomplish. But after which, you should have the camera reset to factory default settings.
Then, go to Kodak's website ( kodak.com/global/en/service... ) and look for firmware updates. Download and install them.
Absent that, I'd recommend that while you're at the kodak site, you do a live chat with a rep and ask them if there are any service advisories for faulty CCD chips in Kodak cameras. Canon, Sony and a host of others have experienced similar issues.
But don't dally. That last 5 months can go by pretty quickly. Especially at this time of year. Get it fixed.

grainy pictures? help? (afhoops1234 — 06/05/2008)
is it normal for some of the shooting modes to have graininess in the photos? i notice when i review my photos for this camera some of the photos appear more grainy and not as sharp. is this normal? also i set the sharpness setting to high and saved it in that mode is that okay?
reply to this comment
Andrew Skinner (06/11/2008)
Jameson,
Setting the sharpness to high will only take up more memory on your card because of the increased quality of the photos. I set all my photos at the highest quality and size level to allow for any cropping I may do later.
As for the graininess, this is occuring most likely in lower light situations when your camera automatically adjusts the ISO settings to a higher level to let more light in to the picture. A higher ISO setting allows you to use the same shutter speed and avoid blurring from camera shake or a moving subject in the lower light. The downfall of this is a grainier photo or "noise." Many software packages have digital noise removers that work pretty decently. I use Corel's Paint Shop Pro and find it a pretty good fix. I hope this helps.

auto exposure and auto focus problem? (afhoops1234 — 06/04/2008)
when i use my camera in the dark or when taking photos from a distance or even sometimes in regular photos the AE and AF letters will light up in red on my screen meaning they arent working im assuming....is this concerning?
reply to this comment
Andrew Skinner (06/11/2008)
Jameson,
This usually means that there isn't enough light to get a properly balanced picture. There is nothing wrong with your camera though; actually, it is working exactly as it should. Ways to increase light into the sensor are to turn a light on, or possibly turn up the ISO setting to a higher number. Changing the ISO can add graininess to your photos though. Good luck and happy shooting.

Sometimes those warning lights are over-sensitive, meaning they could light up even when there's a possibility of the AE/ AF not working, just to warn you. Provided the photos are turning out fine you are A-OK.

lag during night scene modes when shooting photos (afhoops1234 — 06/03/2008)
when i use night landscape, night portrait, or fireworks scene mode i will hit the button to take the photo and there is like a 3-5 second lage between when i hit the button to shoot the photo and when i actually get to see the end result. i hit the button and the screen goes black for almost 5 seconds then the flash noise happens. why is there such a lag on night modes? is this normal? it is irritating! thanks!
reply to this comment
by James DeRuvo (06/04/2008)
Because low light is low light. It's taking in as much light as it can to make an image. As such, you get that long shutter lag. There are a few things you can do, however, to make it shorter including:
1. Prefocus. Hold down the shutter half way to get a prefocus of the image you're shooting. When it changes, prefocus again. This will speed up your camera's performance during picture taking since it won't have to autofocus before it shoots the shot.
2. Use faster SD cards. Yes, there are faster cards and it does make a difference in writing the image file to the card. This is especially key if you're taking multiple or burst images.
3. Fresher batteries. Use alkalines at least. But I recommend using high energy batteries designed for digital photography. Varta is a good brand. They are usually sold in camera shops, are long lasting (because they are sold in small quantities) put out alot of energy.
4. Pan with the action. You can create some pretty cool shots by panning with your shot, focusing on your subject. This will create the effect of your subject in sharp contrast to the blurry background.
6. Stick with 400 ISO. Going higher will cause more noise/grain in your shots, particularly in darker settings.
Two other things you can do is use a tripod and trigger your shutter with the self timer. This will cut down on camera shake.
Doing these, particularly prefocusing and panning with the action will cut your shutter lag by as much as 80%. But unfortunately, with point and shoot cameras, shutter lag is pretty much the nature of the beast. But low light will always require longer shutter times to soak in as much light as possible.

i notice on my camera at night or difficult lighting it says AF or AE in red when i try to focus or take a picture...what does that mean?
reply to this comment
by James DeRuvo (06/05/2008)
Well, AF would stand for Auto Focus, AE, Auto Exposure. If it's in red, that should mean that it's having trouble focusing in the low light and the AE in red means it can't open the aperture wide enough to take a proper picture. Usually engaging the flash or boosting the ISO will help. But on full auto, you may run into limitations.

afhoops1234 (06/05/2008)
okay, also i used digital image stabilization to take a photo of a dog thru glass and it should doe the face focus thing through glass is this normal? also is digital image stabilization harder to achieve without a flash? i notice that whe ni have my flash on the stabilization symbol is green for good and when the flash is off and i take a photo the stabilization symbol is red, is this common?
reply to this comment
Brenda Paro (07/10/2008)
The stabilization symbol is probably going red when your flash is off, because of the fact that without the flash, the shutter will be open for longer (trying to collect more light), so there will be more camera shake involved. So basically yes, stabilization is indeed harder to achieve without the flash.

hand icon on the viewing screen sometimes its red yellow or green, what does it mean? (mindy79 — 05/12/2008)
reply to this comment
Andrew Skinner (05/12/2008)
Mindy,
This will dictate how much camera shake is affecting the camera at that time. If it is in the green, you're ok, yellow, try to steady yourself, and if it is red, you're most likely going to have a blurred picture. If you're taking a lot of low light shots, you might try setting the camera on a base and using the timer or investing in a tripod.

This will dictate how much camera shake is affecting the camera at that time. If it is in the green, you're ok, yellow, try to steady yourself, and if it is red, you're most likely going to have a blurred picture. If you're taking a lot of low light shots, you might try setting the camera on a base and using the timer or investing in a tripod.

Recommend another free application called Picasa ( picasa.google.com/ ) from Google. It's a great tool for managing your photographs, cleaning up red eye, and even printing them. If you want something a little more robust, there's Adobe's Photoshop Elements ( adobe.com/products/photosho... ). It's about $100 but is a great tool for photo manipulation and does about 75% of the things it's more expensive older brother Adobe Photoshop can do.

Picasa can do that. All you need are the drivers from Kodak ( kodak.com/go/drivers ). They aren't up now, as I suspect that it's too new a camera. But when they are, that's where you'll find them.
Your only other option (and a much better one, mind you) would be to invest in a a USB card reader. It's much easier than trying to sort out crappy drivers and bloated sofware. A card reader is about $20 and will cause your sd card to be read as a drive on the PC. Then it's a simple drag and drop.

I just connected the camera to the computer and it reads it like a thumb drive so then you can just send the files onto the computer. The PC should pick up the camera as hardware. Works great like that.

durability is horrible
(Danny — 09/25/2009)
This camera worked great while it worked. The other weekend my girlfriend dropped this camera about 2 feet onto carpet. Ever since it won't work anymore. Turns on for a second and then turns off. I have read this is a problem for many people even if they didn't drop it.

Horrible
(C Gallow — 07/27/2009)
I bougth this camera in July of last year and in one month it stopped working. I called Kodak and I was told to send it to thier repair place to get fixed. It worked about a month and the same thing happen. It won't keep a charge. I even bought a new battery. The battery company tested by Kodak battery and said it had a full charge, but I still bought a new one. It worked for a little while and now that battery won't even keep a charge. I really feel that I have been cheated by Kodak. $100.00 is down the drain, including shipping and battery cost!

An expensive disposable camera
(Ken — 05/26/2009)
The camera worked fine for a while, but last month it suddenly started turning itself off one second after I turn it on. One minute we were taking pictures with it, the next it started doing this crap. Looking online, we found this was a common problem with this camera. The camera didn't get wet or get dropped, it just suddenly stopped working. My daughter has a 3 year-old Nikon digital that has been left out in the rain, dropped, and even run over by an ATV (which cracked the screen). It still takes perfect pictures. I won't be buying another Kodak.

m763
(jenny — 05/08/2009)
taking photos using this cam is ok, but the only problem is the option of video,, i used it several times and i had a problem with its audio,, when i review all the taken videos i never heard any any... it spoiled my video,, how ridiculous,, i hope its feature is anly taking photos and eliminated the video option...

dead kodak
(Barry K Holleway — 03/28/2009)
I bought a Kodak M763 in Walmart Lake George, NY when I was working over there and it was fine, a great wee camera for pics until I got back to the UK in October then it died a month later, no dropping, getting wet or anything. I had used it the week before at a weekend with our motorcycle club with no problems then put it on the display cabinet and went to upload my pics and it wouldnt go on.
It still uploaded the pics though, Im just glad it didnt die when I was still in the states as I would have had no pics to take home. Walmart said theres nothing they can do unless I had the warrenty which was only 30 days anyway!
Not buying anything from Kodak again.

Love It!
(William Smead — 01/18/2009)
I got this camera this last Christmas and have used it almost everyday since. I love the quality of photos - i use it for school and it is 10 times better than what my teacher owns - and it is less expensive, too. The reviewers who said it stopped working must have had defective cameras or something, because mine works splendidly.
I also love the amount of features. it has a mode for about every situation, and the video camcorder feature works pretty well, also.
I would definitely recommend this product.

broke and Kodak wont honor warrenty
(Alex — 09/17/2008)
Camera failed, Kodak claims it was dropped, it was not. They want to give me credit on a new camera. Why would I buy another camera since this failed and they do not honnor the warrenty?
