The Japanese camera makers are totally clueless when it comes to software. There are so many problems with the functionality, the user experience (UX), compatibility with their own hardware, and quality control. Some of this is seen in the design of the cameras themselves, with their non-intuitive super-deep menu systems and obscure operational conventions, and of course, the PC software supporting the product's fancier features is far, far worse.I don't think any of these manufacturers actually test the software with real users to see how they like it. To do so would be "an insult" to the engineers, who would lose face to have a "mere" user comment on how bad their design really is!
A totally frustrating experience.
The program automatically duplicated all of the photos on my PC and if I delete one from the Phtofun program, it's been also deleted from my original PC file. Have tried copying them to a USB drive that had ample space but it told me there was insufficient space.I only downloaded the program from the included disc because there was no way of viewing the few video clips I shot except on my camera screen...and there still isn't!
I converted the HD files to MP4 using the program's included conversion function, and they don't play either. I need to know how to keep all my original photos but ditch them from this over-complex and difficult program.
I'd absolutely rename the program and the result would not include the word "fun"!
