When I download pictures thru a USB hub from either the camera or a flash drive, some of the pictures have a horizontal grey film over the lower part of the picture, or the lower part of the picture is shifted horizontally. This happens with Windows Vista. On my old computer with Windows XP, the pictures download correctly. This also happens if I insert the media card into the media slot, but not if I burn the pictures to a CD on my old computer, and download the pictures from the CD on my new Vista computer.

    I have been working with HP on the problem. When I removed all the USB attached equipment, and then go to Device Manager to select the Root Hubs and then click "Uninstall", the problem went away. However, when I re-installed all the USB attached printer, scanner, and Belkin (powered) hub, the problem reappeared. I just finished doing this today, so I will remove everything again, and maybe reattach one item at a time, finishing with the hub. The problem occurs no matter which USB port I use.

    When I installed the printer alone, the problem disappeared. When I installed the printer + scanner, the problem resurfaced. I removed the scanner, and installed the printer + Belkin powered hub, and the problem disappeared again. The scanner was causing the problem, although I would have assumed it was the hub. The Belkin hub model number is F5U234, but apparently it wasn't the problem. Thanks for your help!

    try plugging the usb cable directly into the port not through the hub.

  • Anonymous Mar 13, 2008

    one of the problems is that with all of those usb devices connected you are pulling a lot of power. Get a usb hub that has external power, the one you have may have a plug in for external power, if you would like to post the model I can check for you.

    That hub does have the ability to plug in an external power source.. I noticed on your posts you stated the Belkin (powered) hub. Does this hub plug into your surge protector to provide extra power? The manual for this model states that there is an adapter available but the hub itself is now discontinued. All usb hubs are powered by the usb bus in the computer but for high power items like a scanner an external boost of power is needed.

How to connect it to my computer
HaHa! You are kidding, aren't you? This camera is a film camera. The only way to connect to your computer is to have the 35mm film developed - then scan the photos into a flash drive. Insert flash into the USB port, and VOILA! Your pictures are on your computer.

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.


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 you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.


If you insist on using the USB connection, bypass the USB hub. Connect the camera directly to the computer, not into the hub.

How do i use the mode setting to insure quality pictures in gloomy weather conditions
Something we have all been wrestling with over the years, LOL.
quality pictures in gloomy weather conditions ? I suggest using the flash as often as you can in those conditions, and get yourself a tripod.
When the skies turn grey, there's less light, so the camera keeps the shutter open longer, which means more likelihood of a blurred image due 2 camera movement. Flash use speeds up the shutter, but will use more battery power. Another issue: with 100 ASA film, the flash is only good for about 12 feet. Distance improves with higher ASA film, but quality suffers due to film grain.

I want to download pictures from my computer to a flash drive.
Open [My Computer]
You will see the flash drive, probably "Removeable Disk" and probably labeled Drive E

Click on the flash drive icon and the main folder on the flash drive will appear.
Create a folder (right-click, [New] [Folder]) and name it something like "photos"

Find the pictures on your computer and copy (drag & drop) them onto the folder on the flash drive.
No, you don't have to make a folder on the flash drive, just a suggestion.
