If your Kodak Digital Camera isn't taking pictures, try these steps: First, turn the camera off and then on again. Also, make sure you fully depress the shutter button. Ensure you have inserted new batteries, or if using rechargeable ones, ensure they are fully charged. Wait for the ready light to turn green before attempting another shot. Finally, transfer pictures to your computer, delete some from the camera, switch the image storage location, or insert a memory card with available space.
