6.Restart your computer again. Your camera is now successfully installed.

Q: How do I make sure I don't lose important pictures?

Your camera uses SDRAM memory, which requires a constant electric current to store your photos. Should your camera lose power (for instance if the battery dies or run out of power) all stored pictures will be lost. We recommend always downloading your photos to your computer as soon as possible to prevent unintentional data loss.

Q: If I have a MAC, will the device work?

Unfortunately, the system requirements for our digital cameras requires a Windows operating system.

There is no Mac driver available and no current plan to develop.
