[QUOTE="todd7500, post: 651944, member: 44095"] Forgive me if I ask basic questions, you didn't give us much to go on. Windows 10? (same with 8) if your running Vista... you are beyond my help! (just kidding) I have never had to change any camera settings when downloading images. Is this camera new to you. With camera turned off, connect cord to camera, connect cord to computer, turn on camera, wait, any notification? Go to File Explorer (Little icon that looks like a folder) when you open it do you see your camera on the tree (should be on the left of the screen. It might say D3400)? If you see the camera then you are in business. I think I can walk you through it from there. Let us know and we can move on from there. On mine at least, it will recognize jpegs and you should see the thumbnails. NEFs will still download but you cant open them with Windows, you just see the file icon. You might hold off on installing any new software until we see why the computer doesn't recognize the camera. Unless those two pieces are talking to each other, I dont think it matters what kind of software you have (for images) Perhaps all the others have been correct and its just that the cord you are using is wrong.
