ist D USB connection

Just got my *ist D and so far its great. I just have one problem so far.

Non of my computers will recognise the camera when its connect to the USB port yet the PC's recognises my memory stick OK.

I have checked with various OS on various PC's including my laptop which is compaq Evo N1050v running windows XP pro.

The camera displays "PC" when connected but nothing on my laptop. The USB is type 2. Can any one help.

Have you installed the Pentax software?

Many people find it easier to use a card reader, and dispense with the USB connection. See my earlier post about a simple way to download using a small batch file.

Thanks for the reply

I think so but I did not see any drivers on the CD only Photo Browse and Lab.

The PC does not even see the ist sa a removable drive as it says in the manual and as my mem stick does

Hi
When connecting via USB the following works every time ( on Windows 2000 )

1. Camera turned off with fully charged batteries or preferably powered by mains unit.
2. Connect USB cable to camera and computer
3. Turn camera on - PC should show in its display
4. Camera picture folder should appear as an additional drive ( My Computer )
5. Right click on the camera folder and select Copy
6. Paste into a folder on your computer
7. If you wish to delete the pictures from the camera, Right Click and delete in the camera folder.
8. When done Stop the USB device ( Icon in the Task Tray )
9. When the 'Safe to remove Device' window comes up turn the camera off and unplug
10. Hit the OK button on the window above.

Hope this helps.
