Now reinstall the software. Insert the CD that came with your camera. It should automatically

If the camera is installed correctly, there will be a category listed for "Imaging Devices" and clicking

"Other Devices" with a brightly colored marking next to it indicating it is not functioning correctly.
If you are running Windows 2000 or XP: Right click on the non-functioning device and select
uninstall. If a warning pops up, press OK.

Q: How do I make sure I don't lose important pictures?
Your camera uses flash memory, which requires a constant electric current to store your photos.
Should your camera lose power (for instance if the battery dies or is removed) all stored pictures will
be lost. We recommend always downloading your photos to your computer as soon as possible to
prevent unintentional data loss. Photos and videos stored on an SD memory card will not be lost
regardless of any change in battery power.
