Optio S12 Software/Driver Updates

hamiltonkl850 · 08-25-2018, 04:02 PM

Hi everyone,
I just purchased an Optio S12 from Goodwill, new in original box. I can't seem to install the software disk on Windows 10, can't find any drivers ir firmware updates. Does anyone have any links, or is this one dead on arrival?
Thanks much,
Katherine

You shouldn't need any drivers to connect to the camera- it should be plug and play over USB. If not, just use a card reader to download the photos.

You can still take photos with it. You don't need the packaged software. Hardly anyone would have used it back in 2008 anyway. The latest Windows 10 update has basic photo editing software now.
So charge it up put in an SD card and share the photos with us.
