Easyshare Instructions Suck

Recommended Posts

I have been checking everywhere to get some help so I can take and review pictures with my NEW Kodak ZD710 digital Camera. The instructions are a joke. I have used digital camera for years, my latest a HP620, and have never had such problems with underatanding what should be simple instaructions. An example is that when I take a picture, mount it on my G610 printer/dock and push transfer instead of the pictures coming up or being sent to a named file I get a sample screen. Also, when you have a device you're accessing to have data send to your computer that is a download. You download software. There is no mention of downloading the pictures on the camera to my computer. There is, however, and UPLOAD, button which would mean that I would be loading pictures from my computer to my camera. What? I have contacted Kodak, and besides not being able to understand them, they just say to check the insructions that came with it. That is only one thing. The ZD710 has a 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" LCD that I assumed was used to view the pictures. I have yet to get it to work, other than when i first take a picture.

If I sound frustrated I am. I worked with computers for 30 years and complained about the documentation being so useless and now I can't even get simple How-To's. The booklets that came with the camera tells what each feature is but does not elaborate as to how to get them to work or access them. Maybe just by persistance I'll luck out but I sure could use some SIMPLE BASIC instuctions

i can't say i fully understand the frustration you have, but poor instructions have been a problem i've had in the past.

looking at the online instructions, there's disgustingly poor documentation. i've worked with many point and shoot digital cameras and they seem to be fairly universal, some have more options than others.

i've always trusted Canon for digital cameras over kodak though...i only use kodak 35mm film though..

I am still having problems with my ZD710 and Easyshare. I have been able to save my pictures to directory C:\\:Pictures and open them by using Picture It!. What I want to be able to do is print them to my G610 printer/Dock. Although I have the G610 listed in the Select Printer section of Picture It! when I select it and push print I get a window names Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library that has a message that says "Program Files\Microsoft Picture It!photoPub\pip.exe" abnormal program termination

Any ideas

I figured out several of my problems but I can not print from my PC to my Kodak G610. I have been able to have my pictures taken from my camera dock and stored in my :c\\pictures directory. I am then able to edit the pictures and print them to a normal printer. However, I can not print from Picture It! to the G610 to create photo quality pictures Why?
