Kodak dc265 zoom camera?

We have 2 feet of snow and 14 degrees. I let the 2 dogs out this morning and took photos for it was amaziing to see them in the snow. The camer stopped working and I felt it probably froze. I took it in and now it will not turn off. Its red light is on and it says 'no card'. I have had to take the batteries for it will not trun off. I have given it time to warm up and it still is doing the same thing. At first I was taking photos for I saw them on the screen on the back of the camera.

1. take it to wolf camera mine had the same thing, and they fixed it
2. Call Kodak's customer service line. They will try to fix the problem over the phone.
3. A nasty surprise for you and I am sorry to hear about it. I would try the following before getting into expensive service costs. >> open up the camera as much as you are able and place it over a warm air vent BUT on top of a towel and plastic bag. Let the air circulate round the body for twenty minutes only. (Inside an oven or microwave is not a good idea for your wet cat nor your wet camera!) >> get a NEW battery then insert the new battery and give it a go. In 40 years I have never had a camera "freeze" because I take two simple precautions: >>> I store it in a warm dry place in the house. >>> when the outside temperature dips from our balmy 5-30 degree range I take it outside in a camera bag with its "moisture pack", and bring it back inside in a plastic bag. This ensures that any moisture acclimatizes to the external temperature and settles on the bag and so does not get into the camera in the first place. John Mc PS: but I did manage once to let a six foot wave wash over me years ago while taking photos and my lovely Ricoh 35mm disintegrated over the following 12 months!!
