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?  
						

							 28 
First  ensure  that  you  have  in  fact  taken  photos. Press  the  Shutter button  to  take  some  sample  photos 
and then try downloading them again. 
With  test  photos  if  the  camera  powers  off  before  you upload  them  to  the  computer  the  photos  are  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 dont lose important pictures? 
Your camera uses SDRAM memory, which requires a constant electric current to store your test photos.  
Should your camera lose power (for instance if the battery dies or run out of power) all stored pictures 
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 image was also deleted from my 
computer. How do I recover images 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.                                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                           A00-090608
