Appendix B:    Troubleshooting  Q: I have taken photos but my computer does not recognize my camera. What do I do? A:  First, ensure that you have in fact taken photos. Press the Shutter/OK button a few times to take some sample photos and then try downloading them again.  It is also recommended that you have an SD card inserted in the camera.  Secondly, always use the USB cable that came together in the package with the camera. The USB cable needs to be inserted in a free USB slot on your computer.  Thirdly, give your computer time to recognize that the device is inserted. If need be, refresh the device options list until you see the removable device appearing.  If  the  computer  does  not  recognize  your  device  it  may  mean  that  your  computer does not  meet  the minimum system requirements.  Please  see  the System  Requirements section  of this manual. If  your  computer  does  not match these requirements  then  it  is  possible  that  you  will  not  be  able  to  transfer  the  photos  and  videos  from  your camera.                                                                                                           Q: I cannot use the flash function. A:  Please make sure you are in camera mode and that the Macro setting is set to the Far mode.  You  may  not  have enough  battery  power to  operate  the flash  function.  Check  the  battery  power  and change your batteries if needed.  Q: Will my camera work with a Macintosh computer? A: Yes. You can download photo and video using the application on Windows as well as Mac  A04-090710GES
