Appendix B: Troubleshooting

Q: I have taken photos

and selected the “Get Images” button. I get a message that the images were

successfully transferred but the photos do not appear on my computer. What do I do?

First ensure that you have in fact taken photos. Press the Shutter button to take one test photo and

then try downloading it.

With test photos if the camera powers off before you upload it to the computer the photo is not stored

in the camera`s memory. These photos should be uploaded quickly before the camera powers off.

If the photos are saved to the SD memory card then all the photos should appear.

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 test photo.

Should your camera lose power (for instance if the battery dies or run out of power) the photo will be

lost. This camera requires an SD card for normal use. If the camera powers off nothing will happen to

the images stored on the SD memory card. We recommend always downloading your photos to your

computer as soon as possible to prevent unintentional data loss.

Q: I deleted images using the Vivitar Experience Image Manager. The photo was also deleted from

my computer. How do I recover photos that I accidently deleted?

All images deleted using the Vivitar Experience Image Manager are sent to your computer`s Recycle

or Trash Bin and can be retrieved from there. A00-090518NES
