Windows Forum / Windows XP / Photos / October 2004Transfer pics from camera to pc?
Having difficulty..any help appreciated. Trying to transfer digipics from camera to pc via Start/My Pictures/Get pictures from Camera or Scanner ...but then get message that the computer cannot detect the scanner or camera. I CAN transfer pics from camera to pc using Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard...but not via My Pictures/Get pics from Camera. Any thoughts, Thanks, John You cannot use this procedure to download pictures from a memory card in a digital camera. You can use this procedure to "acquire" a picture either by using a scanner or a device like a Logitech Quick Cam camera attached to your computer. In this case, the Wizard gives you directions to "take a picture" and then saves the picture. However, your scanner should operate from this command. Is your scanner connected? > Having difficulty..any help appreciated. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Thanks, > John Its not a scanner - its a Camera - an Olympus 5050 > You cannot use this procedure to download pictures from a memory card in a > digital camera. [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >> Thanks, >> John I understand it is not a scanner. You cannot use an Olympus 5050 to "acquire" or "take a picture" via this command, period. It is not going to work, period. It will work ONLY if you have a scanner or if you have, as I wrote before, something like a Logitech video cam attached to your computer. The problem is that this command is confusing. It says "Get pictures from a scanner or camera". What it means is "Start a scanner or start a camera to acquire or take a picture from a scanner or camera attached to your computer capable of doing so". Your Olympus 5050 is not capable of doing so. It is not a defect of your Olympus 5050 or a defect in XP. NO digital camera is capable of doing this. So, to download photos from the memory card of your Olympus camera, forget about this, do it the way you, as you said CAN. > Its not a scanner - its a Camera - an Olympus 5050 > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > >> Thanks, > >> John Good news - got it sorted...at least via My Computer which will do!...problem turned out to be because I had the wrong camera description loaded....when all reference to cameras was deleted via device manager, then, when camera connected a Removable disc H appeared in My Computer...and clicking a couple of times accessed the pics..period. goodho :-) >I understand it is not a scanner.
