Question 1: I have bought a Vtech Kidizoom Camera™, but it will not work with my PC; my PC is looking for a driver. I have searched the Internet and cannot find a VTech® camera driver. What can I do? Answer: There is no separate driver needed for the Kidizoom Camera™. It uses a standard USB mass storage device driver. Such a driver comes standard on all Windows® operating systems starting with Windows® 2000 Service Pack 3 (including Windows® XP and Vista) and Mac OS® 9.0 or above.
Question 4: Answer: The pictures taken by the Kidizoom Camera™ do not have any time and date stamp written to its file. This is added by Windows when you upload the pictures on your computer, and it can only be changed through the use of third party software. Question 5: My camera turns on then immediately shuts off. Answer: Please make sure you are using new batteries.
Question 8: Answer: Unfortunately, if you delete the pictures by formatting the internal storage memory, there’s no way to retrieve it. There is third party software that can help recover “deleted” data from storage, but we do not recommend using this. Question 9: Will changing batteries erase the unit’s internal memory? Answer: Battery replacement under normal operation as detailed in the user’s manual should not cause data corruption or data loss in either the built-in memory.
The picture download operation does not start by itself. After you have connected the USB cable to your PC and the drive VTech 1069 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 root folder.
