Appendix B: Troubleshooting 
Q: I have taken photos but my computer says,  “No photos in camera. ” What  do  I  do? 
A : First ensure that you have in fact taken photos.  Press the Shutter  button a few times to take some sample 
photos and then t ry downloading them again.  
  If  you still get a “ no photos”  error  this may mean t hat your computer may not meet the minimum  system 
requirements : 
At least a Pentium III 300Mhz, AMD Athlon 300Mhz or a Celeron 400MHz or higher as well as at least  128 
MB ram.  Please note that the older AMD K6 processors will not work. M ore information about determining 
your computer ’s specifications can be found in the General Computer Information section.  
Q: How do I make sure I dont lose important pictures?  
In order to use your camera properly you will need to insert a SD card of up to 8GB. All your images will be 
stored on this card. It is recommended to download the images from the card as often as possible, so as to 
free up space on the card. This also is a backup if your c ard gets lost or damaged. 
The test photo  is  saved in limited SDRAM , which requires a constant electric current to store your photos. 
Should your camera lose power (for instance if the battery dies or run out of power)  the test picture  will be 
lost. We recommend always downloading your photos to your computer as soon as possible to prevent 
unintentional data loss.  
Q: If I have a MAC, will the device work?  
The device will work as a removable drive  on Mac OS X (10.2.6 or higher) .  And images can be accessed 
manually.                      A00-0 903 23N ES
