I do not know how many megapixels my camera it, it says vivicam x014 digital lense f=7mm f3.0 can you tell me how many megapixels it is

You don't need any special software in order to use your camera.


The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.


Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or, despite what I said first, you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.

10 megapixels.

The "X" in X014 indicates a ten megapixel camera.

It seems there is not digital copy of the manual available. The next best thing is the FAQS on Vivitar's site :

I'm going to assume you're referring to the Vivitar ViviCam X014. If you're referring to another camera, please reply to this post specifying the make of the camera.

The ViviCam X014 does not record any sound to go with its videos. You can add a soundtrack using video-editing software on a computer, but you can't record one on the camera.

I know this wasn't the answer you wanted to see, but that's the way the camera works (or doesn't work).

It's a tight fit, but you slide the side down and it will open.

You may download a copy of the manual here.

Buy a real camera. X014 is cheap and has a foggy cheap lens. It will never take a good quality picture. It is a waste of a 10 megapixel chip!
