    titleNIS-Elements shows an error: Camera Driver...

    This happens when NIS-Elements does not find the camera. It is usually because the camera is not powered on.

    • Turn off NIS-Elements
    • Turn on the camera (both the microscope power bar and the camera need to be ON
      (the camera is usually ON, the switch on the top of the camera)
    • Check the camera is correctly connected to the computer via a USB cable
    • Turn on NIS-Elements
