20 Most Recent Vivitar ViviCam 5150s Digital Camera Questions & Answers

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 management program such as Picasa (http://picasa.google.com).

The date and time (and a lot more) are stored with every picture in its EXIF metadata. Any photo viewing/editing program should be able to display this data. To print this data, please consult the documentation for whatever program you're using to print your pictures. Depending on the program and printer you may print the date on the image, in the margins, or on the back.

All SD cards should work with the 5150s. However, SDHC cards will not. SD cards max out at 2GB in size.

Having gone over a month without a response to my query, I assume my suggestion to use a card reader solved the problem.

Glad to have been of assistance.

hi.
You must connect your card to the pc.
scan it for possible viruses or hidden files.
If possible, try to reformat it.
Check if the card still says 'Card Full' then you need a new one.

You can't. The ViviCam 5150s does not record sound in video mode. You can add a soundtrack using video-editing software on a computer, but you can't record one on the camera.

Sorry if this wasn't the answer you wanted to see, but that's the way it is.

You can google "Vivitar Vivicam 8225 T328 8025 Charger"

You'll find many choices, a quick glance on Ebay had the first one being $8 so they may be had for less as well.

1. 1 Insert your memory card into your computer's reader if you have one. If not, you can purchase a multi-format USB Memory Card reader from Amazon.com or Buy.com
   
2. 2 Open up 'My Computer'. You should see it under the list of available drives.
   
3. 3 Check its contents first to make sure that you have the right drive.
   
4. 4 In 'My Computer', right-click on the drive and choose 'Format'.
   
5. 5 Leave all the options as they are and click on 'Start'. This is a non-reversible process so make sure this is what you truly wanted to do in the first place.
   
6. 6 Once the process is completed, take the memory card out and insert it into your Digital Camera or any other device. Try to browse to it to make sure it works fine now.
   

Glad to be of help.

Having gone over a month without a response, I assume this is no longer a problem.
