If you have been taking pictures for a while with your Kodak EasyShare C613 camera, chances are you may have run into some minor technical difficulties. These problems may include power failures, lens problems and memory card issues. Some basic repair steps can be taken to rectify some of these problems. Use these simple troubleshooting tips to solve common problems you may encounter, and get back to shooting great pictures in no time.
Instructions
1. If your camera does not turn on, remove the batteries for a few seconds, then put them back in. Turn on the camera. If the green ready light comes on, then continue using it. If it doesn't, install a new set of batteries and power it on again. If your camera turns on, use it normally. Ff it still does not turn on, then it may need servicing. If your camera was dropped or accidentally immersed in liquid, it is beyond your repair and will need servicing. If you have been using your camera in very hot temperatures, it powers off from overheating. If this happens, leave your camera off for 10 minutes, then power it bak on on. If it still does not power up, place the camera in a cooler temperature and leave it for 10 minutes, then power back on.
2. If you see a starting error code, turn off your camera, then remove the batteries and the memory card. Wipe the battery contacts with a soft lint free cloth. Reinstall the batteries, and turn on the camera. If there isn't an error code, continue with normal use. Re-insert your memory. If you see the same error code again, then it may be corrupt or damaged. Try using another memory card, and make sure it is a SD/MMC. If the camera is freezing when you insert the memory card, turn off the camera, then remove the memory card completely. Wait a few seconds, then reinsert the memory card.
3. If your pictures are appearing blurry, clean your lens. Slide open the lens hood, then apply some cleaning solution onto a clean, soft lint-free cloth. Clean the lens in circular motions until it dries. Do not apply solution directly to the lens. If your images are still blurry, try moving 2.6 feet from your subject when using macro mode so as to blur the background while maintaining focus on your subject. If your subject is way too far for the flash to detect, the pictures can be blurry. Stay within 7.9 feet when you are taking pictures in regular mode.
4. If you are experiencing short battery life, remove the batteries and clean the metal contacts in the battery compartment with a soft, lint-free cloth. Limit power draining mode, such as previewing pictures and videos, as well as using the flash. If you have a connecting dock that supports a battery recharge, make sure that feature is on. Use your manual for information on set the camera to "Auto Off" mode. In this mode, depending on what the time limit is, the camera will power off automatically when not in use to preserve battery power.
