Appendix B: Q&A
Q: I have taken photos but my computer does not recognize my camera. What do I do?
A: First, make sure that you have taken photos. Press the Shutter/Menu button a few times to take some sample
photos and then try downloading them to your computer again. It is also recommended that you have a SD card
inserted in the camera. The minimal requirements are Pentium Processor 300Mhz, AMD Athlon 300Mhz, Celeron
400MHz or higher with at least 128 MB RAM. Please make sure whether the old AMD K6 works normally or not.
More information about your computer is available in the computer property.
Q: How do I make sure that I did not leave out important photos?
A: To use your camera normally, it is recommended that you insert a 32GB to 4GB.
(Memory Card Speed: Class 4 above) SD memory card. All your photos will be stored on this memory card. It is
strongly recommended that you download the photos frequently from this card in order to release more space. This
will also be the backup data when you have lost or damaged the storage card. The test photos will be stored in the
limited RAM of the SD memory card. Steady current is required for storing photos. If your camera has insufficient
power or is out of power, all the test photos will be lost. We highly recommend that the photos be downloaded to
your PC in case of losing data.
Q: Will the device work normally if I use the MAC system?
A: The device can also be used as a removable disk on Mac OSX (10.5.x or higher version).
