RICOH PX FAQs - By Product

[Question] How do I download images from the camera to a Windows computer using the supplied DL-10 software?

The [DL-10] software allows you to download pictures all at once in a camera automatically when you connect a camera to a computer.
The DL-10 will automatically create [Digital Camera] folder in [My Documents] folder. With the default settings, the downloaded pictures are saved into a new folder assigning the captured date, which is located in the [Digital Camera] folder. (If you were previously using Caplio Software, the files will continue to be saved in the [Caplio] folder.) Set the correct date and time on the camera before shooting.

If the DL-10 is not yet installed, see below.
