Vivitar Camera 7388s

The above camera is not on Vivitars list, even thought I have it here, by my side. My wife dropped the camera a few weeks ago and when she
went to take another photograph it was totally blured.

The camera only cost £70 and today a camera expert said it would cost at least "£100" to repair. We left the "Expert" and came home!

I switched my computer on, found this site and dropped the camera on the floor!! I picked it up and guess what? The damn thing works perfectly. So if anyone has the same problem, just throw the camera on the floor!!!!!
P.S. Make sure you have carpets.

Some of the SRL camera have a dial on them to "adjust" the eyepiece so you don't have to use glasses. Either that or you bounced the internal focusing glass back into focus.

Yes, the repair will cost you more then a new used camera. You can find many used 35mm film cameras that cost hundreds of dollars new on e-bay or Craig's List in the low price range. For example, a Nikon or Cannon that sold new for over $1000 regularly sell for under $100.

SOURCE: vivitar vivicam 7388s lens won't go back into

Hi Dear,

This issue is not with the battery. This is due to the misalignment of the camera lens. This is a delicate hardware problem. Hence,i would suggest you to take it to some professional or your authorized service center and get it repaired there only. Trying to repair it on your own might make the situation worse and would cost a lot money.

If you need more information on this. Please do write to use.

Have a nice day.

I have lost the user instructions for vivicam 3720

enter Vivitar ViviCam 3720 user manual into your search engine and see lots of sites offering manuals. Could not see it on Vivitars site so must be an old camera.

Driver missing for ViviCam 7388s

You don't need a driver.


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.
