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 2:
What is the ISO value (light sensitivity) of the VTech®StormtrooperTM
Digital Camera?
Answer:
The VTech®StormtrooperTM Digital Camera uses an auto-ISO value. It
auto adjusts the exposure time and light sensitivity depending on the
lighting environment.
Question 3:
My camera turns on then immediately shuts o.
Answer:
Please make sure you are using new batteries. If there is no bad contact
due to dirt on the contact spring/plate or deformation of the contact
spring or plate, the camera should be able to turn on. If the problem
persists after normal battery installation, you might have a defective unit.

Question 4:
Why are my pictures sometimes grainy and fuzzy? Is there anything I can
do to improve the picture quality?
Answer:
In a poorly lit environment, the frame rate (shutter speed) drops to allow
for a longer exposure time. The downside of this is that any movement
in the frame, or of the hand holding the camera, can result in greater
blur. Furthermore, the camera sensor will soften the edges in low light
to counteract the darkness by reducing the image noise. This too can
sometimes result in a blurred picture. Try to improve the lighting to get
better results.
Question 5:
Can you delete a group of pictures at one time, or do they have to be
deleted one at a time on the camera?
Answer:
If you connect the VTech®StormtrooperTM Digital Camera to your
computer and access it or the memory card as an external drive, you can
select multiple pictures to delete at any one time.
Question 6:
If you accidentally delete the pictures by reformatting, is there any way
to get them back?
Answer:
Unfortunately, if you delete the pictures by formatting the internal
storage memory, there’s no way to retrieve them. There is third party
software that can help recover deleted data from storage, but we do not
recommend using this.
Question 7:
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 or the memory card.
