Question 1:
What types of memory cards does the Kidizoom Camera™ support?
answer:
The Kidizoom Camera™ works best with SD cards (versions 1.0 and 1.1) 2GB and
lower (mini and micro SD cards could likewise be compatible, but only with a physical
adapter). It can also support MMC cards earlier than version 4.0. Unfortunately, it does not
support memory cards with very high rates of data transmission. This includes the latest
generation MMC's and any SDHC cards.
Question 2:
Why won't the movies I took on the Kidizoom Camera™ play back on my computer?
answer:
There may be a problem with your computer's display card. Contact the display card
manufacturer to see if there is an updated version of the display driver you can install.
Question 3:
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. If your computer meets these OS requirements and is still
looking for a driver, please contact your PC manufacturer for further assistance. For earlier
operating systems that do not support mass storage, a system upgrade or mass storage
device driver may be available. Again, please check with your PC manufacturer.
Question 4:
The pictures I take aren't matching what I see when I look through the viewfinder. The
actual captured image covers a greater area than what the viewfinder shows.
answer:
The actual image and digital saved image may vary due to the refraction of light through
the viewfinder lens. Light bends through the lenses at different angles based on a variety
of factors including the distance between the lens and your eyes, the angle at which you
are viewing the lenses, and even the distance between your eyes. Generally speaking,
when the lenses are placed close to the eyes the way they are intended to be, light will
refract through the lenses in such a way that it focuses in a tighter and closer area, making
the image and the viewing area appear smaller than what is digitally captured.
Question 5:
What is the ISO value (light sensitivity) of the Kidizoom Camera™?
answer:
The Kidizoom Camera™ uses an auto-ISO value. It auto adjusts the exposure time and
15
light sensitivity depending on the lighting environment.
