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 some 
sample photos and then try downloading them again. 
With test photos, if the cameras power is 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 cameras power is 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? 
This camera requires an SD card for normal use. If the cameras power is 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 images were 
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.
