“Quit Exif Launcher immediately”.

Possible cause

Solution

Live images do not appear in the VideoImpression Capture window.

Is the camera switched on?

Is “PC CAM” selected as the USB
setting on the camera?

Is the special USB cable connected to
the camera and your Macintosh?

Are you using a compatible operating
system?

Is PC Camera Driver enabled?

Switch the camera on. See “Connection” in
the camera’s Owner’s Manual for details.

Disconnect the camera briefly and change
the USB setting to “PC CAM”. See
“Connection” in the camera’s Owner’s
Manual for details.

Check that one end of the special USB
cable is connected to the camera and the
other end is connected to your Macintosh.

The USB Driver should be used with Mac
OS 8.6 to 9.2. (It is not compatible with
Mac OS X.)

Enable “USB04CB_VcShim” and
“USB04CB_VcDriver” in the Extensions
Manager and restart your Macintosh.

Possible cause

Solution

My camera will no longer play back image files.

Did you rename any files or folders
inside the “DCIM” folder?

Did you replace an image file inside the
“DCIM” folder?

Change the file or folder names in the
“DCIM” folder back to the original names.

Do not replace image files in the “DCIM”
folder.
