Where is the Automatic Scanner and Camera Wizard

By Mitz

Digital Camera Tips

 

The automatic scanner and camera wizard is a handy feature included with the Microsoft Windows Operating System. However sometimes when you plug your digital camera into your computer via USB, it will make the usual noise, saying its connected, but nothing happens. Oh no.. What do you do now? This is not a problem. When you connect a plug and play digital camera into your computer to transfer photo's it is usually set to automatically start the wizard to extract the pictures. If the automatic scanner and camera wizard is not opening follow these instructions:

  1. Go to My Computer which is either an icon on your desktop or in the start menu in the bottom left corner. You can also access your camera from the control panel.
  2. Here you will see your camera appear. (see below)
  3. Double click on the digital camera icon.

  1. A box will appear showing what pictures are on your camera.
  2. Under the heading Camera Tasks, choose to Show camera properties. (you can also choose to Get Pictures from Camera to start the Wizard manually)
  3. Choose the Events Tab from the top of the dialog box.
  4. Here you can select an event. I chose that when the camera is connected it will automatically start Windows XP's inbuilt scanner and camera wizard.
  5. There is also other software to choose from if you have more than one compatible photo transfer program installed on your computer.

 

 

 

Digital camera tips

After you have completed these tasks you can test your changes by turning your camera on again. Then see what it does...The automatic scanner and camera wizard should appear.

The Automatic Scanner and Camera Wizard will only work if you have pictures on your digital camera. If there are no pictures it will say this and you will not have the option to go on. You can only cancel the process.
