Rochester, NY (WBNG Binghamton) It's a decision that may save more than $100 million, but it may cost as many as 400 jobs.

Eastman Kodak says it's putting the lens cap on its camera business.

Kodak will stop developing digital cameras, video cameras and digital picture frames within the next 6 months.

Its focus now is on photo printing and inkjet printing, but the company says it will continue to honor warranties, and provide support for their products.

Kodak says about 400 jobs worldwide will be affected - most based in Rochester.
