Troubleshooting tips for opening pictures from a camera


• Your camera must be connected and turned on before you start the digital
camera task, or it will not appear in the list of cameras and drives.
• If you've connected your digital camera to your computer, but can't see
your pictures, make sure the connections are secure, the camera is turned
on, and the batteries are charged. The camera might not start download-
ing unless its batteries are fully charged. Some cameras are equipped
with an A/C adapter that you can use instead of batteries.
• If your camera does not appear in the list of cameras and drives, or if you
receive an error message when you click Download, start your camera
software from the operating system Start menu.
• For more information about downloading photos using the software
included with your camera, consult your camera's manual.
