Panasonic DMC-FZ18. Unable to download pictures to Camera and Scanner Wizard -

Do you really need a driver?

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo management program such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

If the problem persists, after removing and reinserting the battery, please use the below link to locate an authorized service center.

I just found that I have taken pictures with my DMC-FZ18 without the disk in. It says I have several picture on the cameras hard drive. How do I download these to my computer. Help!!!!!!

PROBABLY NOT - YOU SHOULD TRY AND GET THE ''WIZARD'' TO INSTALL YOUR CAMERA...IT SHOULD RECOGNIZE IT AND THEN INSTALL...YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD YOUR PICTURES THEN...

how can i download the software for this camera on the net...dmc fz18 is a good camera

try using and SD card reader instead of the software that came with it. then you know if it is a software issue or a problem with how your camera saves the photos.
It's also quicker using an SD card reader and drag/drop - copy/paste etc.
