Camera Digital Utility 4

Rick Clark · 11-28-2010, 09:52 AM

I downloaded it and I have not been able to make any changes to a photo, all the things you want to click on does nothing. Like it won't start up???

Some one must know how to help me get started, Thanks

First suggestion is to reload the program. It may not have installed correctly.

Rick Clark · 11-28-2010, 10:14 AM

I have reloaded it 3 times

Rick Clark · 11-28-2010, 10:17 AM

I will try it again

Thats unusual. I would delete it, download another copy and install from the new download.

What exactly do you click on?

Rick Clark · 11-28-2010, 10:52 AM

Doesn't let me do anything except look at a picture and nothing else, I am going to delete again and reload and see what happens and if nothing I will watch a little football.

Well I downloaded it again and nothing, can not edit anything, it's like they have hid an off and on switch and I can not find it. Well all you K5 owners tell me what you did to edit your pictures please with #4. Thanks

Rick, I just downloaded the program and updated the 4.0 version and have the same problem, ie none of the tools work. At least you know its not you. If i find a solution i'll let you know.

Thanks for looking. What other programs or Picture processing web site can I go to. This is my first DSLR an I am lost as to what is out there for processing of pictures I sure there are better one's then Pentax. I will do a web search to see what I can find but if you know of any good one's please let me know. Thank you

Did you try the "S-SW90" trick?

Uninstall all Pentax programs.
Copy the EXE file on an USB stick.
Rename the USB stick to "S-SW90".
Install the program from disc (not USB).
During install the program checks if a medium with the name S-SW90 is inserted.

What's your OS?

If you reside in PC-land, you may need to run it in 'compatibility' mode. To find out how... Google the name of your OS and the term 'compatibility' for instructions.

Cheers...

MAC ja Aperture 3, niin varmasti pelaa.

I had the same problem with the utility. Solution: Pictures must! be imported with this tool from the sd-card to the disk. Otherwise the utility is not realising the pictures as PENTAX photos.
