Insert new SD memory cards for additional image memory.
The small portable VuPoint digital camera takes high-quality images, which you can late upload to your computer. After using your device several times, you may begin to experience some problems with the device. Following a few simple steps and performing your own maintenance will have your device operational again in little time. You can determine why your camera is suddenly losing power, remedy an unclear picture due to lens smudge or shaky hands, and correct issues with computer and camera connectivity.
Instructions
Power Problems
1. Press the "On/Off" button (located on top of the camera to the right, next to the "Shutter Release" button) as a first step to remedying a VuPoint that won't power on. The camera may have gone into "Sleep Mode" after several minutes of non-use. Pushing the "On/Off" button will wake the camera up and power it back on.
2. Turn the camera upside down and remove the battery cover by applying pressure with your fingers and pushing it open. Remove the batteries from inside the chamber. Insert two new AAA batteries, being careful to mind the polarity indicators printed on the inside of the compartment. Replace the cover.
3. Inspect the battery chamber cover and SD memory card cover. If the covers aren't fully closed, the camera will not operate. Remove each cover and replace them correctly by pressing them closed with an audible snap.
Unclear Picture
4. Inspect your lens glass for dirt or grime. If the lens is dirty or smudged, obtain a fine dry glass cleaning cloth, and clean your lens very gingerly (so as not to scratch it).
5. Hold the camera steady when you're about to snap a picture. Grip the camera with both hands and brace your elbows against your body. A shaky camera will make pictures blurry (in low-lighting situations especially).
6. Frame the subject within the focus brackets of the viewfinder, and stay at least five feet away from the subject when snapping the shot. If you're too close to the subject, or the subject is outside of the focus brackets, your subject is out of your camera's unchangeable focus range.
Computer Communication Problems
7. Power the camera on by pushing the "On/Off" button, so that your computer can locate your device. The computer can't find the camera if there is no power coming from it.
8. Inspect the USB cord connection from the camera to the computer. Plug the USB cord securely into your computer's USB port and your camera's USB port. Unplug the USB cord from each of the ports to reset the connection, and then plug them back in.
9. Reinstall the camera driver (supplied) into your computer. Insert the disc into your PC's disc tray, and follow the onscreen prompts given by the setup wizard which will automatically start upon setup.
