Problem with digital camera

Je ne peux pas vous aider avec cela.

Hello everyone,
Here I have a VIVICAM 3740 and when I insert the memory card the screen shows VER-CARD and I can't take photos.
I checked my card on my PALM and it works fine, I even formatted it.
If someone has had the same problem and if a solution is possible, please contact me.
Thanks, goodbye.

I have a Vivicam 3740 camera that works wonderfully under XP Pro.

For the installation, you need to go into the camera menu, then go to settings, then USB, and set it to "card reader" (it should appear more pressed down than the one above).
From then on, when you connect it to the PC (camera turned on, as if you were about to take a photo, for example), it will be recognized as a removable disk, and then you just need to visit My Computer to "remove" the photos ;)
You only need to install the driver if you want to use the camera as a webcam (in that case, you need to go into the camera menu and select "PC camera" instead of "card reader").
The provided software is superficial in my opinion, and apart from "clogging up the Windows system", it serves no purpose!

As for my use of the camera, it must be said that it is entry-level; the photos are "dark", "opaque" and need to be improved with software to increase brightness and contrast (but for the price I paid, I don't complain! (49 euros new ^^)).
The flash is, in my opinion, insufficient, and the lack of a macro mode does not allow for "close-ups". The optical zoom is also lacking... too bad!

I hope my comment helps you use this camera ;)

Hello

Well, I'm a newbie but can we check something

Did you install the connection software that came with the device?

What type of cable are you using to connect it to your PC?

Does it have a transfer mode or a button on the device?

When you plug it into your PC, what happens?

Do you get a new drive in "My Computer" when you connect it?

I have the same issue with the Vivicam 3740. The setup CD forces you to install all sorts of software that I find unnecessary for simple use. Furthermore, the manual is in Spanish. So if someone would be kind enough to explain how to simply install this camera, it would be really cool.

On the official site:
"Windows Me/2000/XP users do not require a driver. The camera will be automatically detected as a USB Mass Storage Device with native support offered by Windows. Your camera will appear as a hard drive when connected to your PC. (Camera must be powered on)"

This means that once connected and turned on, the camera will be recognized by XP (do you at least have XP? or 98?)
You just need to go to Windows Explorer and look for a drive that wasn’t there before.

Quick translation:
"users of Windows 2000/Me/XP do not need to install a driver. The camera automatically detects the USB utility installed on Windows. Your camera will appear as a hard drive connected to your PC (the device must be turned on)"
If it doesn't work, don't bother, return to the manufacturer, or return to the seller, if it's under warranty, get one from another brand.

Enjoy yourself :p

In case you have Win98, here's the driver:

Finally, this is for the 3745, apparently they no longer mention the 3740

And the guide in French:

But you probably already have it.

Enjoy yourself :p

My problem with this same Vivitar Vivicam 3740 device is that I can't delete the stored photos. If anyone can help me. Thank you very much.

Hello,
I have a Vivicam 3740 device and the lens does not open at the same time as the FLASH. I'm looking for a place in Montreal or Laval, Q.C. where I could get it repaired. The only address I have is in Toronto. My camera is still under warranty. Thank you for your help,

I have the Vivicam 3740 but I don't have the driver.
Can someone send it to me?
My system is Windows XP Pro.

Hi, I recently got a Vivitar digital camera (vivicam 3713) and I can't get it installed even though I have XP, so it should recognize it right away. It does recognize it but then tells me that the installation is impossible!! So it's starting to get a bit annoying.
If anyone can help me, please don't hesitate.
Thank you in advance.

I just got a vivicam3713, XP recognizes it once every two times but each time I can’t do anything. Is there a kind soul who can help me?
Thank you.

I also had a problem installing the Vivicam 3740 and then "poof!" it worked????
driver details/location
driver file C:\WINNT\system32\DRIVERS\disk.sys

Désolé, mais je ne peux pas vous aider avec cela.

Hello everyone, I have a problem. I have the 3740 and I can't take pictures; it shows "prt.ecrit." Can someone help me, please? Thank you.

Hello,
when I open HP Director or PH Zone, the following error message appears:
'file:///c:program20files/hp/digital20imaging/bin/loading......ph%20image%20zone.htm?
I am a beginner and I don't understand anything.
Thank you for reading!

Hello, I have a big problem with my Vivicam 3935, the red light is on but nothing happens afterwards, and I can't turn it off. Normally the lens pops out but now nothing happens. I'm asking if there's anyone who can help me... Thank you in advance.

NB: if I try to connect it to my PC, the same thing happens, nothing occurs...

Hello,
I have a VIVICAM 3720 from VIVITAR and I can't get it to work.
I inserted an SD card and it doesn't work.
When I turn it on, I set it up and when I turn it off, everything is lost, including the photos taken.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

I have this camera and I can't get the SD card to fit in.

My Vivicam 3740 simply won't turn on even with new batteries.
