Chapter 3 Shooting with Camera Memos

Section 1 About Camera Memos

You can attach camera memos (information such as shooting conditions) to the still images you shoot. This section explains camera memos.

Caution

• Be sure to set the date and time on the camera.

• To use the camera memo function, an SD memory card is required. In

addition, DeskTopBinder Lite must be installed.

• The camera memo function is only for use with Windows.

Use DeskTopBinder Lite to view and edit a camera memo attached to a still image with a computer. You can view, edit and search for a camera memo attached to a still image and play back a voice memo attached to a still image.

For more details, see the Introduction Guide and in the Help menu of Document Viewer.

Shooting with Camera Memos

The image file storing the image shot with a digital camera has an area where additional information can be stored. The camera memo function uses this area to allow you to attach a memo to the still image you shoot.

Additional information

Attach camera memos to easily identify, search and sort through your still images. There are two types of camera memos: text and voice memos. Camera memos cannot be attached to movie or voice files.

Text Camera Memo

• Photographer

• Location, etc.

You can create a list of text camera memos on your computer and transfer it to the camera to use when shooting images. If you want to use data not included in the camera memo list, you can make a temporary memo with the camera. This camera memo is called a “temporary memo”. You can also edit the contents of a camera memo list using a temporary memo.

Camera memo list Up to 50 camera memos can be registered under each of five categories.

Example: Camera memo with product information Category

Follow the steps below to change the USB port.

• Connect your camera directly to the USB port of your computer.

• If there are several root hubs, change to another hub.

If you are using a non-USB hub, try connecting via a USB hub.

Solution 5

The batteries may have worn out.

Check whether the batteries have worn out. If worn out, replace them with new ones.

Solution 6

The free space on the hard disk in your computer may be insufficient.

Check whether the hard disk has sufficient space for running Windows, and whether the drive where you are loading image files has the same capacity or more as that of the SD memory card inserted in the camera.

Problem 2 Even if you check [The same image will not be saved] in the RICOH Gate La

[Option settings], the same images are loaded into your computer.

Solution

The camera’s clock is incorrectly set or the camera’s clock information has been reset.

To allow the [The same image will not be saved] function to work properly, the camera’s clock information must be set properly. Set it properly.

Problem 3 Files loaded from the camera into the computer were deleted. You

attempted to load the same files from the camera again but failed.

Solution

If [The same image will not be saved] is checked in the RICOH Gate La [Option settings], files loaded into your computer once cannot be loaded again. In the RICOH Gate La [Option settings], uncheck [The same image will not be saved].

Problem 4 Cannot play back movies with ImageMixer

Solution

DirectX may not be installed. (Windows 98/98SE/Me/2000) Install DirectX from the Caplio Software CD-ROM.

Problem 5 RICOH Gate La is always activated when the camera is connected to a

Windows XP computer through a USB cable.

Solution

Connect the camera to the computer through the USB cable, and then open [My Computer] from the [Start] menu on Windows Taskbar. Right-click the camera icon on the My Computer screen and click [Properties] to open the camera’s Properties screen. Click the [Events] tab on the Properties screen.

Problem 6 [Failed to save.] appears during image loading from the camera into your

computer

Solution

Set the camera to Playback Mode and check that [UNMATCHED FILE] is not displayed for any file. If [UNMATCHED FILE] is displayed, delete the file from the SD memory card or internal memory after backing up all files on your computer. For backup, copy all files into your computer directly by using a commercially-available card reader or by changing the [USB CONNECTION] setting to [MASS STR] on the SETUP menu. After copying, return the [USB CONNECTION] setting to [ORIGINAL].

Problem 7 RICOH Gate La does not appear in the [Device connected] screen when

the camera is connected to a Windows XP computer through a USB cable.

Solution

Set the camera to Playback Mode and check if the message [FORMAT CARD] is displayed.

If the message is displayed, check that the SD memory card does not contain any image you do not want to delete, and then select [FORMAT [CARD]] (see the “Camera User Guide”) on the SETUP menu to format the SD memory card.

Problem 8 The Caplio Software CD-ROM is not available when you attempt to connect

your camera via the USB cable to the computer (Windows XP) for the first time, therefore you cannot install the hardware driver for the camera.

Solution

1. Connect your camera to the computer.

The [Found New Hardware Wizard] window appears.

2. Select [Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)].

3. Click [Next].

4. Select [Search for the best driver in these locations.] and [Include this location in the search], and then click the [Browse] button.
