Step 3: Downloading Images and Video Files

When the ViviCam 8300s is turned on and connected to your computer, it is considered to be a disk drive, just like a floppy disk or CD. You can download (transfer) images by copying them from the “Removable disk” (“untitled” or “unlabeled” disk on a Macintosh) to your computer hard drive.

Windows

Open the “removable disk” and subsequent folders by double clicking on them. Your images are inside these folder(s). Select the images that you want, and then choose “Copy” from the “Edit” menu. Open the destination location (folder) and choose “Paste” from the “Edit” menu. You may also drag and drop image files from the ViviCam 8300s to a desired location.

Macintosh

Open the “untitled” disk icon, and the destination location on your hard disk. Drag and drop from the ViviCam 8300s to the desired destination. Do not open the battery cover during USB cable connection.

Memory card users may prefer to use a memory card reader (highly recommended).

A video playback application is not included with the package. Make sure that a video playback application has been installed in your computer.
