20 Most Recent Praktica DC Slim 520 Digital Camera Questions & Answers

If the 10 most hated cameras in the world were listed, this camera would be on the list. My advice is don't even try to turn it on. If you turn it on and use it and then look at the result you will be sorry you turned it on. It was made in 2005 and was an instant failure.

Is very simple: you must slip the cover, and then push inside and get the batteries.Clean the contacts batteries.Gob bless you

Unfortunately it appears that Praktica do not have manuals online but they can be contacted HERE

Hope this helps.

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.

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 cataloging program.

Use a card reader to download your pictures to a folder you create on your desktop.

Most of the time this is caused by dirt, grit or sand in the lens mechanism. The best way to fix this is to use an air compressor. Put the nozzle to the space between the lens and the camera and blow air into the space, you may have to do it a few time until its clean. Let me know if you have any more problems, and don't forget to rate my answer a fixya.
