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.
