Cannot shoot videos direct-to-pc using Fe-190

Unfortunately you can't use the FE-190 as a webcam. It was designed as a camera, storing still images (and incidentally, videos) to a memory card. It was not designed to stream live video to another device.

I know this wasn't the answer you wanted to see, but there it is.

cd driver ??? what OS u using ? what brand pc cd roms/dvd roms normaly install them self with windows drivers ?

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

Hi,

There are no drivers needed for the Olympus FE-190. Once connected through its USB, the computer will treat it as a USB mass storage device similar to a removable /flash drive.

If for some reason the PC won't recognize the camera, it is probably a problem with the USB cord, the USB port or the memory of the camera.

Alternately, you can use a memory card reader and slip in the memory card of the camera to gain access to the content/pictures.

Hope this be of some help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

If you are using a Windows computer 2000/xp/Vista
you need no software Windows has all the facilities it needs.
If the Computer cannot detect the camera when it is plugged in to the computer USB socket and switched on and set to up load.
Then there would appear to be a fault with the camera or battery.
I suggest you remove the card from the camera and try to get it read by a friend or processing station to establish if in fact the card has images/data on it.

the fe-190 is only detected by the computer as a USB mass storage device and only allows you to download images from it. It can not be used as an imaging device when connected to the computer.

need a driver or cd to download my pic on my computer olympus FE 190

get a better camera

1. plug usb into PC
2. plug usb into camera
3. turn camera on

Windows should report that it is detecting a device. If it doesn't then it may be because the camera's hard drive IS the device it would supposed to be detecting, nes pas?

Actually, if you're using XP you should not need the disc at all to shoot & download images. If you're looking for software so you can crop & that sort of thing, I recommend googles Picasa program, its free. To download images without the disc simply connect the camera like you have in the past and XP will find the device & walk you thru downloading images, usually. If not, click on "my computer" and you should find your camera/device listed there. Personally, I use a card reader and take my memory card out and download the images using the reader.
