Important! The camera will need to be set into the appropriate mode to transmit its pictures. Many cameras have two modes of operation: proprietary and standard (driver-less) mode, and the camera has menu items and/or buttons that set the USB mode. The standard (driver-less) makes the camera look like a drive-letter to Windows Explorer without the need for the camera manufacturer's custom driver. This standard driverless mode (called “disk-drive” mode by some cameras) is required to interface to MemoryFrame. See your camera’s user manual for details of how to prepare your camera for driver-less USB transfers.
