I had this occur several times before a conversation with a techy suggested that the memory (SD) card might be too slow and causing the camera to lock up. I replaced a 4GB Class 2 card with an 8GB Class 4 card and have not had the problem, so maybe this will work. Good luck.

Wow! Thanks Blue!!! I was about to throw out this camera. I owned it for 21 months. Once I removed the memory card, it worked perfectly. I guess that's what I get for purchasing a generic memory card.

Do you have fresh batteries installed? I had the same problem using Dollar Tree batteries. I would advise you to print out the user's manual ( that comes with the Arc software disc) for reference, get a binder and separate the categories with labels for reference. Also, it is much easier to use, save and print photos when you use a memory card. With a memory card you can insert it into most computers or printers without connecting the camera. When full, you can save your photos without deleting them to make room and they are better for taking videos. Hope this helps. Joan Phelps

There is a tiny reset button that can be pushed with a paper clip. It is located by the power button on top of the camera.

Although I've read about it, I've never had the problem with my camera. There is a firmware update from Kodak to solve the problem. This is the link: http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17507/kw/m580/selected/true

I am having this same problem, which I didn't previously have with my nikon...I typically use in auto mode....any tips for settings that will render most photographs useable (right now none of my photos are useable).Beware--I'm a frustrated novice!

I am having exactly the same problem, taking the battery out for 30 minutes works for a time but the problem starts again after a few days. Leaving the battery out until required sometimes makes the camera difficult to switch on or off. I don't think that Creative are interested. If anyone has the answer please let us know.

I'm having the same issue. The camera has never worked. It freezes as soon as I take one picture. I just bought it in July, so I'm sending it to an authorized repair shop (as per Kodak), to see if they can help. It does reset if I pop out the battery, but it takes one photo, and then locks up again.

I have not had that problem. I would suspect that the battery is not good. If you have not had the camera very long, check and see if you can send the camera and battery back. Or maybe check with some place in your community that tests batteries to see if the battery is the problem. I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but I have done this before. Are you sure you are inserting the battery the correct way?

Hi Myrna sorry to dissapoint you but i have no idea but i can advise to go into kodak profile and get all the info that you need you can even chat live with one of their technicians.

I am not sure what the problem is, but I can tell you that I had two of these printers and they gave me a lot of trouble before completely breaking....both in less than 6 months. I would just save yourself the trouble and buy a canon pixma. The printer is cheap and works amazing....not to mention that it prints on both sides of the paper on its own which saves me during school. I will never buy a Kodak again. If you are stuck with this printer double check on your end and make sure it is the printer defect. Try a print preview before printing to see if it shows the whole article. If this does not help try reinstalling the Kodak software. Good luck

My BD-300 does as it's supposed to, start up where it left off after the stop button. Do you have the most recent firmware update? (not sure if it would affect it, but it's a good first step) Good luck

This could very well be a SD card issue.... I've seen this happen on one of my friend's SLRs when they tried using a older SD card (that is not class 6 or higher).... Even if urs is class 6, it might not be a bad idea to try using a different SD Card, as the one that u mite be using now might be defective..... Good luck.....

Yes, turning the camera on/off is not working right. First delivered one was bad and the replaced one is also the same bad condition which is very frustrating. This camera is a junk. I wasted my money for it. I do not use this camera any more. If it is possible for you, I would like to return the camera to you for refund. Hiro Inoue

Thanks but what I'd like to understand is how it can be working perfectly one day, shut off while not in use, then the next time I turn it on, the image on the LCD screen is blurred, I haven't even pressed the shutter release yet, (and wouldn't due to the blurred and dark image). How can that happen? Why is there a need to adjust ISO settings when they haven't been touched?!

Maybe try pressing the reset button under the camera. Its a little dot inside the camera so you might need to use a needle to push it. Hope this helps :-)
