Camera is no cannection in computer.USB mode normal but no cannection. everything is ok of computer.now i dont undustend what is problem of camera.Please tall me.

i guess your computer is suffering from Software Driver Conflict.

because in safe mode, windows does not load any third party drivers, but its own. so your computer turns ON.

it it NOT AT ALL any hardware related issue, so you dont need to buy/replace anything.

tell me more about your operating system and your computer details, so i can help you properly

Hi debbie_ma203,

What you need to do now is to switch off your camera , and then unplug it from your PC.

After you do this , you need to start your computer and then , plug the USB cord in the USB slot , after you do this you need to press the power on button.

When you switch on your camera you will get an option on your screen to choose mass storage mode, you need to select this mode, after you do this , and select ok , you will have a removable drive in your my computer , which would show all your images and videos.

Hope this helps ...:)

One of two ways.

1) Remove the memory card if one is installed. Connect the camera to the computer using the USB cable. Transfer pictures normally.

2) Copy the pictures from the internal memory to the card, then take the card out of the camera and plug it into a card reader. Transfer pictures normally.
To copy pictures from the internal memory to a card, press the playback button (right-pointing triangle) to enter playback mode, press MENU, then select "Copy".

You can use the USB connection or the card reader, whichever you're more comfortable with, whichever you normally use.

you cant put the information on with the ac adapter which is behind the battery with 7.9v so u will need ur ac adpater while u are loading or it will not connect and thats what usb mode means. if you dont understand atleast phone the panasonic helpline because they have just helped me.
thanks.

Connecting the camera to a PC
1. Turn the PC power on.
2. Turn the camera power on.
3. In any mode other than Voice Recording mode, press

4. Press the LEFT/ RIGHT button and select the [SETUP]
menu tab.
5. Select the [USB] menu by pressing the UP/ DOWN

7. Press the menu button twice and the menu will disappear.
8. Connect the PC and the camera via the USB cable.
- Insert the small plug of the USB cable into the camera USB connection terminal.
- Insert the large connector of the USB cable into the USB port of the PC.
- The plugs must be firmly inserted.

note: driver for a40 must be installed in your computer.
you can get it here.

You shouldn't need the driver - Turn the camera on, Push the menu button - click right for "setup"
you will see animation, beep, frequency, format, default , etc.... scroll down to USBMODE and click ok. Then plug it into your usb that should already be plugged into your computer. A screen will pop up asking what you want to do open folder with pictures in it, etc.... if this doesn't work E-mail me and I'll send you Coach Drivers that will work. Put the camera in usb mode though and it will work. I had the same problem.

You most likely need to change a setting called USB Connect under main settings 1.

Default is auto
I suspect it is set to mass storage and is causing your hassle

I normally just use a SD memory card reader and copy off the pictures that way.

Bill check the cables in back make sure its tightly plugged in. also restart your computer.

I found this on another site. You have to set the camera itself to Mass Storage mode in order to work with Windows 2000. The steps are below. As soon as I did and plugged the camera back into the USB cable, Picture Project recognized the camera as connected, installed the mass storage driver for it and requested a restart of the PC. Able to access the memory card and download pictures.

On the camera itself, unplug the USB, turn it on and...

Press MENU....
Press ▲▼to choose SETUP...press OK...
Press ▲▼to choose INTERFACE...press OK...
Press ▲▼ to choose USB...press OK...
Press ▲▼to choose MASS STORAGE...press Ok..
Press MENU to exit...
Then plug it back into the USB cable.

Good Luck
