Kidizoom Camera™ Frequently Asked Questions Question 17: I am trying to download my pictures to my PC. I connected per the instructions (connecting the USB cable to the camera and PC), and the new driver VTech 773 appears. However, no pictures are automatically downloading. Is there something I need to do at start up to get the pictures downloaded and saved? Answer: The picture download operation does not start by itself. After you have connected the USB cable to your PC and the drive VTech 773 appears ready, you can open the drive, look under the folder "PHOTO", and you should find the images you captured with the Kidizoom Camera™. Moreover, if you wish to upload images that are not taken by the Kidizoom Camera™ to be viewed on the camera, you can do so by moving the JPEG image files into the folder "DOWNLOAD/PHOTO." Question 18: Since I also have a third party photo editing software installed on my computer, the pictures automatically download into My Pictures and I cannot figure out how to get them into the Kidizoom Camera™ program for editing. How do I access the Kidizoom Camera™ Photo Editor program? Answer: To open & run the program go to: Start -> All Programs -> VTech Kidizoom -> Photo Editor -> Vtech Photo Editor. You can also refer to the help document on your PC. It has a detailed tutorial on how to operate Photo Editor with different effects. Start -> All Programs -> VTech Kidizoom -> Photo Editor -> Help. To open an image file, click on the Open Folder icon in the top left corner. This will bring up a standard Windows dialog box that you can use to locate the image file you want to edit. The icon is located at the top left corner. Click on it, and it will have a standard Windows file open dialog box. All you need to do is locate the image file you wish to edit with the Photo Editor. Question 19: When I try to take pictures outdoors, the screen just shows white as if the camera is getting too much light. Is there any way to fix this? Answer: Please check your flash setting to make sure that you don't have the camera on forced flash mode (indicated by the lightning bolt with the plus sign in the upper right corner). Using this setting in strong lighting conditions would result in a picture with too much light.
