Hardware: Digital Camera Errors Solved in a Flash

The modern digital camera has become more than just a gadget for taking pictures. Most now come with the ability to record video too, which is a handy feature if you want to take short movies without having to carry around a dedicated camcorder as well. Some high-end digital cameras also sport built-in GPS (Global Positioning System) to log the geographical location that the image was taken – this is stored in the image’s metadata as a geo-tag. With all this functionality, it’s no wonder that the digital camera has now become a very valuable tool for capturing those ‘moments’ in your life. However, there are times when you’ll run into problems, such as: Windows not recognising your camera, software issues, or not being able to transfer your cameras files. By reading this article, you’ll be able to solve all these problems and more with our time-saving tutorials to quickly work through your particular problem. There’s also a section on memory card problems that covers how to recover files (with the aid of free software from the Windows Advisor website) that have been accidentally deleted. We’ll also show you what to do if your camera’s memory card ever becomes totally unreadable too!
