The Kodak EasyShare C340 is a digital camera that allows you to take pictures and record short videos. It has a simple layout with easy to navigate onscreen menus. It also includes a number of features and shooting modes such as scene, action, portrait and landscape. Like other digital cameras in its class, it's subject to a little wear and tear after usage and occasional malfunctions that can be resolved quickly. Troubleshooting your EasyShare C340 helps solve common problems to keep it lasting longer.
Instructions
Power Problems
1. Remove the batteries from the battery compartment if your Kodak Easyshare C340 is not turning on. Wipe the battery contacts on the camera using a lint-free cloth and reinsert the batteries.
2. Replace the batteries with newly charged batteries if the camera is still not turning on. If the camera still does not power on, mount it on a printing dock if you have one. Turn on the camera.
3. Connect the Kodak Easyshare C340 camera to AC power, if it is still not turning on. If it still does not power on, the camera may need servicing and repair. Contact Kodak to schedule a repair session.
4. Store the camera at room temperature if the batteries are draining quickly. When the camera is used in extreme conditions such as high humidity and winter, the batteries drain at a much faster pace.
Lens Problems
5. Clean your lens if you are experiencing fuzzy and unclear images. Apply some lens solution on a lint-free cloth and gently wipe the lens until it dries. Do not apply lens solution directly on the camera's lens.
6. Turn off the camera if the lens hood does not extend. Clean the area around the lens hood using a lint-free cloth. Remove the batteries and reinsert them. Turn on the camera and try opening the lens hood. If it still does not open, try using a new set of batteries.
7. Stay within 2.6 feet of your subject if your images are blurry. This will allow you a shallower depth of field that will keep your subject in focus as the background is blurred.
Error Code Lights
8. Replace your batteries if you are seeing frequent blinking lights. This usually indicates that the batteries are low in power.
9. Turn off your Kodak Easyshare C340 camera if your LED light is blinking and you cannot shoot pictures to the memory card.
10. Remove the memory card from the card slot and then reinsert it. Turn on your camera. If it still displays the LED light, try another memory card.
