SYMPTOMS

When attempting to download images from your camera directly in Microsoft Picture It! you receive the following message:

"No Digital Camera Was Found. You must install a digital camera and it's software before you can do this task".

CAUSE

The Casio QV-family of digital cameras use software called QV Link or QV PC, depending on the model. This software does not by itself support TWAIN. Microsoft Picture It! requires TWAIN in order to download images from digital cameras. Consequently you are not be able to access the camera directly from within Picture It! without the CASIO TWAIN driver.

RESOLUTION

Casio digital cameras come with TWAIN drivers, usually on a separate disk labeled "TWAIN Modulator".

To install the Casio TWAIN driver, do the following:

  1. Run the Setup.exe program on the TWAIN disk.

    -or-

    Double-click the TWAIN folder on the disk.
  2. Install or reinstall Picture It!
