Fuji camera not recognized as camera

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware,microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support,microsoft.public.windowsxp.photos (More info?)

I have a FujiFilm FinePix 2600z camera that when I plug it in comes up in
the device manager as a disk drive and not a camera. Because of this, I
cannot use the microsoft image wizard which I find quite handy. Is there a
way to change the device so it's recognized as a camera instead of a drive
so that I can access it through the wizard?

Also, please let me know what other information you may need to help
diagnose this.

Thanks!

The normal way is for your camera to be recognized by XP as a "Device with
removable storage" after you open My Computer. Normally it is listed under
your CD/DVD drive. The "removable storage" being your memory card in your
camera.

Here are a few suggestions to download your photo files:

Repair for Camera (or card reader) Autoplay window (or Wizard)
(02-13-05)



If you recently installed Real Player 10, this is the likely culprit
preventing XP to automatically recognize the camera or card reader and open
the Autoplay window.

You will have to uninstall Real Player and maybe do something else as
described below. After you uninstall Real Player 10, reboot your computer
and then try with your camera or card reader again.

If you do not want to uninstall RealPlayer, you can go around it and still
get Autoplay, as given below:

Open Real Player. Go to Tools then Preferences.
Click on Automated Services and then Disable Message Center and Auto
updates. Reboot your computer and then try with your camera or card reader
again.



If you do not have Real Player 10, read below for different ways to download
your pictures and repair the Autoplay.



Several ways to download your pictures, from your camera or card reader.





Before you connect your camera to your computer, make sure you have enough
battery power or better yet use your AC connector if your camera came with
one. Then, check your camera manual. With most cameras you simply power
them on and set them to take pictures, with some you need to set them to
something like connect to PC or set PTP. After connecting your camera to
your computer via a USB cable, power the camera on and wait about 15-20
seconds for XP to recognize the camera, you will hear some sound "ding-dong"
and the LCD screen on your camera will change (the change is dependent on
the type of camera you have) and you are now ready to transfer, even if the
Autoplay window does not open automatically. If you do not hear a sound or
the LCD screen of your camera does not change, the connection with the USB
port is not correct. Go to the bottom of these directions to repair the USB
connection.



After you hear the sound:

1. Open My Computer, look under Devices with removable storage. Your camera
(or card reader) will be listed there as an external drive with a drive
letter E, F, G or H (probably listed below your CD drive). Right click on
your camera listed as an external drive. A menu will open, click on Autoplay
listed on the opening menu. This should open the Autoplay window to download
your photos the same way as when the Autoplay window opens automatically
when you connect your camera.

If you want to keep Real Player 10, this would be another way to do it. The
Autoplay will not open when you connect your camera but you can still get
the Autoplay from your camera listed as an external drive.



Or



2. Open My Computer, look under Devices with removable storage. Your camera
will be listed there as an external drive (probably listed below your CD
drive). Double click on it to open it.
You will see a folder, double click to open it, then another folder, double
click on it to open it and you will see the list of photo files. Select all
files
and copy to a folder on your hard drive. To select all the files, hold the
Ctrl key down and press the letter A. Or, click on Edit on your top bar and
then click on Select all on the opening menu. When files are selected, their
names are highlighted in blue. You can then look at the menu on the left
of the file names and click on Copy and then select the folder you want or
make a new folder to save the files into it.

If you want to repair the automatic Autoplay window (and you do not have
Real Player 10) you can try the following.

Different ways to try to repair the Autoplay window for downloading from
either a camera or card reader.

Go from steps I to V, although step V may not be needed.

I. Connect your camera (or card reader) to your computer, and make sure you
have
pictures on your memory card. Make sure your batteries are good or better
yet, use your AC adapter if your camera came with one. If you are trying
with a card reader, just connect it with a memory card inserted and with
pictures on the memory card. Power the camera on, wait 10-15 seconds for XP
to recognize it, you should hear a sound and the LCD screen of your camera
will change, the change is dependent on the type of camera you have. With a
card reader, just wait for the sound after you connect it.

Click on My Computer and look under Device with Removable storage. Your
camera (or card reader) will be listed there, probably below your CD drive,
and a drive letter will be assigned to it (something like H, G, etc.) You
will use this drive letter in a step below, so just note down what the drive
letter is. With a card reader you may see multiple drives, depending upon
the card reader you have (you may have a card reader capable of reading a CF
card, SD card, Memory stick, etc. each one will have a drive letter so
select the drive letter corresponding to the memory card you have, or select
any of the drive letters for it and it should still work regardless of the
type of card you have).
If you do not see your camera or card reader listed there you will need to
repair your USB
connection (see below for repair) or you are on a network and the network
drive is Z and XP cannot assign a drive letter to your camera. You will need
to take care of this
first. The steps below will NOT work if XP cannot assign a drive letter for
your camera or card reader. In some cases, your camera may be listed but
with no drive letter. Try the drive letter after the CD or DVD drive under
which your camera is listed.

II. Click on Start, click on Run and type the following in the textbox:
REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL
and press Enter
Note that there is a space between ...32 and SHI...
This will take a few seconds to run and you will get a "success" message.

III. Download the autofix.exe file from the site below. At this Microsoft
site, you have the option of downloading the autofix.exe file in one of your
folder (or make a new folder and save the file there), then open the folder
and double click on the file and then follow directions on the screen. Or,
let Microsoft scan your computer to make the repair. You will need your
camera drive letter during this step. After this, reboot your computer.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c680a7b6-e8fa-45c4-a171-1b389cfacdad&DisplayLang=en

You can leave your camera on and attached or your card reader attached while
you reboot. However, better to disconnected the camera or card reader after
you turn your computer of and then reboot.



IV. After rebooting, connect the camera and power it on (or connect the card
reader) wait 10-15 seconds for XP to recognize it, you should hear some
beeping sound and the Autoplay window should now open giving you the option
of downloading photos from the camera or card reader.


V. You may have to set the options for this window.
Click on My Computer, your camera (or card reader) should be listed there
under Devices with Removable Storage. Right click on it and click on
Properties. In the opening window, click on the Autoplay tab and under
Select, scroll to Pictures to
select it. Select the button Prompt me...



Another possible solution.

Click on Start, click on Run and type the following in the opening textbox:

cmd

and press the Enter key

A window will open (black and white) and will display the following:

C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\

Type the following at the end of the above line after the \

Net start stisvc

And press the Enter key

You will get a message that service is already started (if so this does not
solve the problem) or that it is starting (if so this may solve the
problem). Then try connecting your camera after you close this window. To
close this window, type EXIT at the end of the displayed line and press the
Enter key.

These tips are very helpful!

It appears that the AutoFix program option got me the closest to resolving
my problem, however now when I try to execute the Camera and Scanner Wizard,
it wont bring up the application. I can only assume that it's because my
device isn't considered a 'camera' or any type of media device by Windows XP
but instead just a disk drive. Does anyone have a specific driver that will
let XP know this is a camera or something similar seeing as I don't have one
for the Fuji camera I have and their web site simply lists a USB driver
which doesn't help.

I have never worked with a Fuji camera so I really don't know. However, if
your camera is listed under My Computer as a Device with removable storage,
you should be able to open it and then get to the photo files, select them
and copy them to your hard drive.
If this camera is old (in the digital world 3 years is old and 5 is senile,
no offense) I would simply purchase a USB 2 card reader (probably around
$20.00) and place your memory card in it to transfer the photo files to your
hard drive

Wow !!!!
For me Real Player 10 was the problem.
I disabled message center and auto updates in Real Player,

viola..the Auto Play Wiz now works!!!!
Thanks so much for solving this problem, you have made me very happy!!!!

Thanks so much, I had the same problem , but using memory stick reader on
cpu, and Disabling Realplay 'updates' and 'message centre' fixed it.

Glad it works for you, but I wonder why the folks at Real Player does not fix
this problem. I'm sure they know of it by now. Maybe we should all remind
them.

This was an issue with Real Player 10.
I seldom use Real Player and I was on Real Player 7.0
I then needed to download something from the Internet and had to upgrade,
The upgrade was to 10.5.
This 10.5 did not interfere.
So maybe if you get the latest upgrade (I have no idea what the latest
upgrade is at, since I don't use Real Player very often) the problem has
been solved.
At least on this newsgroup, the number of "my Autoplay does not work when I
connect my camera" has decreased to almost zero.

I only use Real when I need to. Glad to hear the upgrade solves this problem.

Hi Guys
The first thing i do anytime realplayer gets installed on my PC is to
uninstall it.
My Fuji cam software installs it to but i just get rid of it, never found
that i needed it for anything.

Interesting that your Fuji cam also install Real Player.
Are you sure of this? Why would it do this? I don't know Fuji. Is it because
it uses it for a particular purpose like video instead of using Quick Time?
I was going to ask which version of Real Player does it install? But since
you uninstalled it, you probably can't tell us but if you know, please let
us know.
We had a "rash" of "Autoplay does not work" reported here and while a lot of
them were due to Real Player 10, some were not.
We are now down to very few such reports.
Maybe SP2 also helped.

My Fuji E550 is also designated as a removable disk (drive "G" in my case).
Have not been able to get AutoPlay to operate on my camera or printer with
media card reader.
I did, however, stumble upon a nifty little program by ArcSoft called Media
Card Companion. It places a monitor in your system tray, and whenever you
insert a media card into a reader, or connect your camera and turn it on the
program will start up and enable to you transfer files, print, etc.
I downloaded a trial version of this software and it actually works for both
the media card reader in printer and when I connect my camera. ArcSoft's
claim is that it works for most digital cameras. Works for my Fuji E550.
Could be worth a try.
