Viewing photos on my pc after setting up Digital Camera Driver disk

If images cannot be imported automatically into the Windows PC, check [Precautions] below.



[Precautions]

- Temporarily terminate resident software such as antivirus software.

- Connect the AC adapter or load a fully charged battery into the digital camera.

- If RealPlayer 10 is installed, select "Tools" - "Preferences" and then disable "Automatic Services."



XXXen the digital camera is connected to the PC, if the FinePixViewer starts up and images in the digital camera are displayed, skip Steps 1 to 5 and start with Step 6.



1. Start up the PC and then connect the digital camera and PC using a USB cable.



2. The "USB MODE" setting of the digital camera may be set to "PC CAM."

Set "USB MODE" to "Card Reader" or "DSC."

*Only in the case of the digital cameras that have the "USB MODE" setting in the SETUP menu



3. Check whether or not any mark indicating the USB connection (USB, CARD READER, USB symbol with an arrow mark, etc.) is displayed on the LCD monitor of the digital camera.

If not, the digital camera and the PC are not connected properly. Check the following points.



a. Restart the PC, disconnect and connect the USB cable and then try again.

b. If the PC has multiple USB ports, connect the USB cable to another port and then try again.



If no mark indicating the USB connection is displayed even after performing above Steps (a) and (b), the digital camera or USB cable may have a problem.



4. Check whether or not "Removable Disk" is displayed in "My Computer." (For example, when the operating system is Windows XP, a FinePix icon in the shape of a digital camera is displayed.)

If "Removable Disk" is not displayed, install the USB driver again.



5. Automatic startup software (Exif Launcher) may not function properly.

Perform the following procedure.



[Windows XP]

a. Select "Start" - "My Computer."

b. Right-click the "FinePix" icon and then click "Properties."

c. Click the AutoPlay tab.

d. Click "Music files" and then select "Pictures" from the displayed list.

e. Select "Select an action to perform."

f. Select "Viewing images with FinePixViewer."

g. Click the "OK" button.



6. The Automatic Save Settings may be incorrect.



Specify the Automatic Save Settings again by following the procedure below.



a. Start up the FinePixViewer.

b. Select "Automatic Save Settings" in the "Settings" menu.

*If "*** not found" is displayed, click the "OK" button.

c. In the "Way of Saving" column, click the "Browse" button to specify the storage location.

connect the camera to the usb port of the pc. switch on camera and set for viewing review. Use windows picture manager or some other manager ( nero) and download the photos to a file of you choice.

If you're viewing the photo on the camera, press cursor-up/down to cycle through the different views of the photo. Those views will show you the various settings.
If you're viewing the photo in Nikon CaptureNX2, select the picture or double-click on it. You'll see the information in the Metadata tab.
If you're viewing the photo in another program, please refer to the documentation for that program. Look under "metadata".

Two Possibilities:

1) There's no driver installed, or the installation failed. ( A notification will say so when you plug it in ). Be shure the driver is setup properly.

2) The setting on the camera is set to "WebCam" and not "USB Disk"

In the settings menu, (Not the photo menu) on the camera there will be a USB Function option; this sets the camera up to behave like a cardreader and set the plugged in camera as an aditoional disk drive.
The other setting for the USB Function is "Web Cam" or "Digital Camera"; this will set the plugged in camera to behave as a USB Web Camera accessable to tv tuners or other recording or chat software.

To test, open the "My Computer" display of available hard drives, Disc Drives, Floppy Drives, and Memory Card Drives, then plug in the camera into the USB connector. A USB signal sound will alert you and a new drive should appear on the My Computer list, that's the camera.

If you don't get a new drive, then unplug the USB connector and enter the Menu on the camera, look for a USB function menu and set it to Disk drive, or whatever is not Web Cam function.

Note: This is for PC, and not Apple type computers, but I'm shure an Apple computer would be similar.

Cheers.
Richard.

Your camera is set at a high resolution and/or large megapixels. What size card are you using? Check your camera's settings (Fine, RAW or maybe Good, Better, Best). Also, check to see what megapixel setting your camera is using. My guess is you're using a 5MP or better settings with a FINE (or equivalent) setting -- and a 256Mb card. Am I close?
I hope this helps! If so, please rate the solution offered. Regards, Char1ieJ

Make sure DigiKam, usbmount, and usbview are installed.  Set the camera usb mode settings to PC (PTP).  Plug the usb to camera cable into the back of the PC.  Now with the camera off plug in the cable into the camera. Turn on the camera and the Linux PC should pick up the camera as a usb memory device. Know you can transfer the photos to your PC.

press MENU select date and time mode u can adj

Many cameras have a "Setup" option where you can specify how the camera names or labels each new photograph. Other buttons or menu options you can look for would be Settings, File Names probably under a Menu option.

The other thing to consider is, how is your computer sorting the files? By name, date taken, date modified, size? Perhaps buy changing the way you're viewing the order of the files, you can make it match the order they were taken in.

What is ptp utility new to me. I suggest the first thing to do is if you have the software from the disk loaded - you un install it. Restart the computer - plug camera in and set it to upload mode. Windows scanner/Camera Wizard will take you along from there. If it does not change the USB port. Come back with the next move
