Install A Driver For A Sanyo S770 Digital Camera

Installing a driver for your Sanyo S770 digital camera will be necessary for importing photos from your camera.


The Sanyo S770 is an affordable digital camera that is perfect for taking great snapshots at a low cost. However, you may have some trouble trying to import your photos if you have not installed the drivers for the camera. Modern operating systems should already be able to detect the camera, but older systems like Windows 98 will need the driver installation. If your camera came with a driver installation CD, the process will be as simple as inserting the disc and installing the necessary software.


Instructions


Set Your Camera to USB Mode


1. Turn on your Sanyo S770 digital camera to "Camera" mode.


2. Press the "Menu" button. Go to "Setup" and press the "OK" button.


3. Select "USB Mode" and press "OK" again.


4. Select "MDSC" and press the "OK" button.


5. Turn off the camera.


Connecting to Your Computer


6. Connect the Sanyo S770 camera to your computer with a USB cable.


7. Turn on the camera. If you do not see a pop-up window confirming a new device, check in Windows Explorer to see if there is a "Removable Disk" listed among your hard drives.


8. Open the "Removable Disk" drive. Open the folder named "DCIM."


9. Open the folder labeled "100SANPH." This folder will contain your image files.


10. Proceed to the next section if your camera is not connecting to your computer.


Installing a Driver from a CD


11. Insert the installation CD that came with your Sanyo digital camera. If you do not have the CD, you will have to contact Sanyo's customer support (see Resources). As of August 2010, Sanyo does not offer a driver download for the S770 on its website.


12. Follow the instructions on the installation program when it opens. If it does not automatically open, access the CD-ROM drive in Windows Explorer to open the installer.


13. Plug the Sanyo S770 digital camera into your computer after installation has completed.


14. Turn on the Sanyo S770 camera. The ArcSoft photo software should open and allow you to import your photos.
