I am having a terrible problem trying to download my most recent pix. Everything is plugged in properly but it comes up as scan and won't download. I've tried everything and even put in the cd again. I'm not very computer literate but up until Friday, I was able to download pictures. I have a Panasonic DMC-TZ3.
Loey, No camera CD is needed to download pics. When you plug your camera into a USB port, it will appear as a Drive in your MyComputer folder. You can then click on the drive letter assigned to it by Win to look at what is on it, just like you would look at files on your C: harddrive.
So the first step is to find out if Win is recognizing it in My Computer. It will probable be drive G: and will probably be named CAMERA or USB STORAGE device.
If it is, double click on it to Open it and find your Pic Files.
If it is not showing up, then some cameras have to be SetUp to be seen as a USB Storage Drive. Don't know about TZ3.
In any case, by you a SanDisk MobileMate SD+ mini card reader stick and dump stupid and sometimes unique USB Cables. Also doesn't''t use your camera battery power to view and download, your pics. It uses your USB Port Power and again looks like a USB Flash Drive in your My Computer. NICE!
