Regarding software problem answered by Pena

Hi.

You can get the software from Canon support. Click on the link I have provided below, scroll down the page and select your OS (XP, Vista or Win 7 etc)
Click on "Software" and a drop down list will appear. Look down the list and download the application NOT the updater.

Hi Charles - Panasonic doesn't offer software downloads for this camera - it may be due to the sheer volume ans size of the files on the disk. You can check out Panasonic support page for your camera here:

http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/support/Cameras-Camcorders/Digital-Cameras/Lumix-Digital-Cameras/model.DMC-FZ8K

On that same page are ways listed to contact them via Phone, Email and Mail. I'm sure you can get the info you're looking for by contacting them directly.

I hope you found this Very Helpful and good luck!

Hello shannon_enns,

You might need to go to your BIOS first. When you power on your laptop, keep pressing F2.

Once you're on your BIOS, go to the hard drive & choose "Compatible" since you have Windows XP.

If you have Vista, you'll need to choose "Enhanced."

After that, you may need to reformat your laptop one more time.

Here's a guide on how you can reformat your laptop,

Hope this helps & best of luck!

Goto any radio shack and get a external memory card reader this will allow you to get your pictures if the camera or cable is defective.

There are no drivers for digital camera - Windows[98se/mill/2000/XP etc] does it all.
Remove any software you may have loaded from the supplied disk.
Simply plug the camera into the computer,ensuring it is switched on.and set to the upload mode.
Windows takes it from there

you need to go ahead and let it start in sfae mode, check any changes that you made recently to your software & hardware, programs and drivers.
This is normal for windows to open this way IF you have shut the computer down in a way windows thinks there was a problem , or is a problem.
In safe mode windows does not load all the third party software , just enough to get windows up so you can find a problem.
Soo let it start in safe mode , if you find no problems after ot starts, shut it down correctly and restart, it should start the second time normally if there are no problems.
Post here again if it keeps up.
Regards!

All photographs taken with this camera having a data file with it, called meta data. All these file in formation can be viewed in clicking file info in photoshop.
The Metadata tags defined in the Exif standard cover a broad spectrum:

• Digital cameras will record the current date and time in hour, minute,seconds and save this in the metadata.
• Camera settings like such as the camera model and make , and information that varies with each image such as orientation, aperture , shutter speed, focal length, metering mode, flash mode and ISO speed information.
• A thumbnail for previewing the picture on the camera's LCD screen, in file managers, or in photo manipulation software.
• Descriptions and copyright information.

The most common cause associated with the PC not detecting the camera is due to the fact that either the devie drivers have not been installed, or are corrupt. It is important to thoroughly read the Software Installation instruction manual as with some Cameras, the user is required to connect the Camera via the USB cable first, then insert the CD that came with the camera and then install the software and drivers. With other Cameras, the reverse is necessary, eg., you are required to install the software first and then connect the Camera via the USB cable. My experience has convinced me that even though Camera manufacturers recommend one or other of the 2 methods mentioned above, for whatever reason, sometimes the drivers just don't get installed. This may be due to things peculiar to your own pc system or conflicts with other software on your machine which prevent successful installation of the camera software or drivers. If this is the case, then you can access Device Manager in your PC and scroll down to USB Serial Bus Controllers and check to see if the USB and other drivers are installed. In most cases if the software has been installed but the drivers are not, or are corrupt, this will be highlighted in Device Manager with a Large Yellow ? (question mark) From there you have the option to check if the device drivers have been installed and also if the device is reported as working correctly. You may then engage the help of the Hardware Wizard to uninstall the drivers if they are corrupt, or install them if they are missing. Whichever is the case, it is usually necessary to restart your PC so that it can detect the camera when it has rebooted up. To locate Device manager on XP > click on Start > then right click My Computer > next left click Properties from the drop down menu > and then from the Sytem Properties Window which comes up, > left click on the Hardware Tab > then left click on the Device Manager Box and you're there.
