I need a driver for Pentax *istDL2 digital camera.

Hello,

Im looking for the above cameras driver. I have looked almost everywhere and I cannot find this anywhere, I need to get picutres off of it but when the usb is connected nothing happens. So I presume this is a driver issue.

Can anyone help...???

Thanks in advance.

    Hi,



    Thanks for getting back to me. Its not actually my camera its a works camera. They have had it hooked up via usb before, but the guy who normally does this isnt here today.



    Also I have tried to install the software already but when I come to run and confirm install it asks me to insert the CD which I do not have.



    So now im not sure what to do.



    Many Thanks

Bypass the USB cable and buy a card reader.

Your camera takes an SD card so all you need is a SD card reader. You take the SD card out of the camera and stick it into the card reader and that goes into your USB on your computer.

I believe ritz camera sells them for around 15 dollars. You can get them at ANY place that sells electronics. Such as Best buy, Ritz camera, penn camera, staples, walmart, target, etc.

You really dont need the USB cable considering SLR have no built in memory.

A card reader would serve you better.

******* As far as your camera not working when hooked up to your USB, some cameras require you to install there software. This means its not a "Mass Storage" device. Think of it like an Ipod, it hooks into the USB, but you need itunes to see it.

or you can try this website for software

    Hmmmmm. Lets try a few things.

    1. Make sure both ends are connected. Camera and computer
    2. Make sure the camera is turned on. I cant remember Pentax too well, but sometimes you have to do one of the following :
    Press the replay button, select USB or computer on the lcd screen.
    3. Battery must be charged if it takes AA batteries.

    Or depending on what operating system you have once the camera is connected and on go to my computer
    and you should have another drive, if your USB drive is working properly. It might say Pentax, it might say removable drive. You should notice something different. Double click on it.

How do I set my camera to get higher resolution photos?

Hey there kbbate, if you use REC Mode you can choose the Recorded Pixels, and the Quality Level. 6m is the best available setting for the recorded pixels, and the quality level is default set to best, however you should check to ensure it's settings. Note: you cannot select Recorded pixels if the Quality level is set to Raw. Also Raw (3000x2008raw,3000x2000jpeg) would techniquely be the best setting for your purpose. You will just have to do the tweaking on the computer, rather than have the camera sort it out for you. Good Luck!
