There is no trick to getting more than 15 seconds of recording time. It sounds like your camera is buggy. I am not sure how well it will hold up for 45 minute recordings, but I know I have done several that were over 10 minutes. I suggest exchanging it for another z990.

How do you set the camera to use the RAW format? I was looking at a Canon SX40 but with the Kodak now selling for $199.99 I might just go with it and save $149.00 Costco is selling the 990 for $199.99

This cam (and especially at the $200. range) is a must have. I compared ISO images at 100 to 400 against the Canon SX30 and Nikon P500 and the Kodak images were much cleaner. Have captured some very nice shots at full focal length too..tripod or bracing needed. It's a great carry any where and any situation camera..and low light images are impressive for a p&s cam.

I would like it to be able to record for up to 45 minutes or at least 5 minutes for a song....have you figured this out?

I installed the easy share button app on my computer, but every time i try to import, it won't detect my camera! its very frustrating. On settings, I have the camera set to "computer connection," "kodak software," but it still won't work! i listened to the directions and turn it off, plug it in, then turn it on and it will not work! :( if anyone knows, please reply!!!!!!! thank you :) Chloe does anyone know how to import pictures from the kodak easy share z990 onto iPhoto?

I got a replacement charger from WalMart. ... Energizer brand, takes about 6 hours and has a little screen to display how many hours of charging it has left. I haven't used the included charger in months. If I remember right, the lights stay on. You can use lithium batteries in your camera. But I would suggest just getting a set of lithium for backups and investing more of your money in higher quality batteries and charger. (look for batteries with a higher mAH number ... My Energizers with 2300mAH work much better than my Rayovacks and Kodaks with a lower mAH) If you use your camera a lot, good rechargeable can be a big money saver.

I see Bill mentioned the Seagull SYK-6 with a Maxxum flash. Does that work? Does the 990 routinely use a preflash? Or just for redeye? How would you rate the 990's flash for groups of people indoors? Any redeye problems? Thanks all! I’d like to ask if anyone has used an external flash with the 990 successfully. I see Bill mentioned the Seagull SYK-6 with a Maxxum flash. Does that work?

I just got my Kodak z990 camera , including pre-charged batteries, but after using my cam for about 1 hour, it was out of batteries. So I charged my batteries, but they are still charging and I’m not sure if the little lights on the charger is supposed to go off or something, but I’m not sure if the batteries are done charging. The lights are still on. I’m confused. You probably have experience with your charger already. Could you tell me how it works? Thanks so much! Also can I use lithium AA batteries?

Is it possible to set the Preview time? It is much to long. I know you can get it out of Preview, just by pressing the shutter button again, but even that takes way to long. The Burst (high speed) works excellent, but after a burst it takes very long to get back live again. I am very disappointed and frustrated with my Z990 time between taking pictures. Any advice?
