I bought this Vivitar Mini Digital Camera for $10 at CVS the other day. It has two buttons, the "Snap" button and the Mode button. I put the battery in and it turns on. I can take up to 20 pictures, and then it stops. I installed the driver and the program works fine uploading them. However, the Mode button does not work and so I cannot use the Video or Web Cam options and I cannot delete photos from the camera without having to take the battery out and put it back in after 5 seconds.
I've tried a number of button combinations, holding the Mode button down, pressing the top and bottom buttons together, it's of no use.
I Googled Vivitar and found their website, the model number is not listed in their technical support, but I found a form to fill out and emailed them asking for help. I don't really expect a reply.
I Googled the camera and found that the very same camera has been sold under Philips, Bell & Howell, and Innovage. No, I麓m having the same problem you麓re describing...a friend of mine bought it in Houston, Texas and brought it down to El Salvador, and she麓s been trying to install it and use it in windows 98 but she keeps complaining that only 2 times was able to use it but wasn麓t able to download any pictures from it...the program says the camera is not connected...so I think it has a bug or something...I mean, what can you expect for $ 10.00 ???
So if anyone else knows the reason for this to happen it will be appreciated any help. |
