Solution

If the camera is not recognized correctly in a Windows 7 environment and the cause is unknown, follow the procedures below to delete the camera's device driver, and then reinstall it.
NOTE
Printing or image transfer to a computer will not be possible when an excessive amount of images (approx. 1,000) are recorded on the memory card.
To transfer the images, please use a commercially available USB card reader. To print, please insert the memory card directly into the printer card slot.
