Can anyone find a battery charger for the Kodak Easyshare Z8612 IS that is available from an actual store?

Feb 09, 2009 by ablackandwhiteworld | Posted in Cameras

It would be great if it was from a store vs. online because I need it soon... Also, it's okay if it isn't a Kodak brand charger, just as long as it's compatible.

The charger and batteries mentioned below will charge batteries outside the camera better than most in-camera chargers. The camera will also be available for use while the batteries are being charged.

These batteries are new formula NiMH batteries that will hold charge for one year when not used. Also, 2000mAh batteries seem to have a longer life. Did not like them at first, but have 12 of these batteries that are over five years old and are still as good as new. Higher mAh batteries still work well in flashlights, but won't start my camera.

A friend asked me to clean and charge her new 2000mAh Duracell batteries as described in the last link. Those batteries are still going strong after four months of casual use and haven't been recharged.

Camera reports batteries low, but is it low charge or bad electrical contacts? Overcharging can ruin good batteries! The secret to making digital cameras work better is having good electrical contacts between batteries and camera.

Digital cameras require lots of power. Bad electrical contacts can cause lots of problems so battery and camera contacts must be cleaned properly. Batteries may be fully charged, but camera will indicate "low" if contacts are not really good. The LCD screen is a low steady load, but when lens extension, optical zoom, focus, and flash charging are added in the capture mode; the load is very heavy. Bad contacts make cameras do strange things like making bad pictures or shutting off with the lens out.

CAUTION Do not overcharge! Batteries can be damaged. Use an automatic two or more hour Energizer Compact smart charger with temperature monitor, trickle charge technology, and safety timer ($9.76) at Walmart. Use pre-charged 2000mAh Duracell ($12.97) or RayOVac ($5.97) batteries (hold charge one year) and a full cycle charge. To preserve battery charge, use the viewfinder.

NiMH batteries should be recharged when camera reports batteries low. Old batteries can discharge over night, but may provide normal service immediately after being charged. Battery pairs no longer usable in cameras may work well in flashlights. Do not drop batteries on a hard surface or allow voltage below one volt to prevent polarity reversal.

CAUTION To prevent memory card corruption, keep batteries charged and don't delete. Wait for lights to stop flashing then turn camera off before removing memory. For card readers, double click Safely Remove Hardware. Select, then click Stop and OK.

Never touch battery ends or camera electrical contacts. Oil from fingers will contaminate contacts. Use batteries in matched pairs of same brand and rating. Do not mix old and new batteries. New will only do as well as old.

Digital cameras reset to original settings if batteries are removed for one minute. Time varies with function/camera. Check display/setup menu for non-auto functions and date/time. Remove extra memory to eliminate this as a possible problem. Insert fully charged/cleaned batteries and restart camera. The ultimate non-physical repair for software-using devices is reset by removing power ... VCR/DVD players one month.

Is the EASYSHARE Z8612 IS Digital Camera a good camera?

Feb 16, 2009 by ღ[uɐɯɹǝdns]← | Posted in Cameras

I was thinking about buying it, but i can't find any pictures taken with it.. So i don't know if its good or not...

Before buying any camera, checkout for user ratings and reviews on various websites like DPReview

No company will sell a bad camera, all are good. One needs to choose as per the personal preference.

how long is the Kodak EasyShare Z8612 delay?

Feb 03, 2009 by zmoerder | Posted in Cameras

i want this camera but want to know how long the delay is from when u push the button to when the picture is taken.

It is called shutter lag, and all little P&S cameras suffer from it.
From all I"ve ever heard, those little Kodak things are even worse than others.

Check out the specifications and compare many different cameras (www.dpreview.com), but don't expect miracles from any of them.

If you want NO shutter lag, you'll need to get a DSLR.

It simply allows you to use the 55mm wide angle and telephoto lenses.

Look on the page you linked to. Look over at the list on the left and click on "55mm lenses".

Those are the two lenses for which the adaptor is made.

Help! A question for people who own the Kodak EasyShare Z8612 camera?

Mar 06, 2009 by eww_its_alyssa | Posted in Cameras

If you're not sure what camera it is, its this one:

http://i10.ebayimg.com/04/i/001/05/03/11cc_1_b.JPG

(with 8MP, 12x optical zoom)


Last night I purchased this camera on sale at walmart, and so far, I am NOT pleased with it. Maybe its just the settings, but hear what i have to say. When I take pictures without flash (i hate flash) the shutter is majorly delayed and the pictures ALWAYS turn out blurry no matter what mode the camera is on, besides sports mode (figures). And also, without using flash, I'll try to take a picture on 10 second mode... the camera won't be moving, neither will I, and the picture will be blurry, unless again, its on sports mode. I looked for a setting to change this, and I couldn't find any. Am I missing something? because I am going to take it back if its something I can't fix.
