Q: I have taken photos but my computer says, “No photos in camera.” What do I do?

A: First ensure that you have in fact taken photos. Press the Shutter/OK button a few times to take some sample photos and then try downloading them again.

If you still get a “no photos” error this may mean that your computer may not meet the minimum system requirements.

System Requirements:

At least a Pentium III 300Mhz, AMD Athlon 300Mhz or a Celeron 400MHz or higher as well as at least 128 MB ram. Please note that the older AMD K6 processors will not work. More information about determining your computer’s specifications can be found in the General Computer Information section.
