(Windows Image Acquisition) is an API developed by Microsoft and first implemented in Windows Me. As long as I have that trusty old camera to act as a 'go between.' By the way, I don't know if that works with all cameras or just this one.Īnybody else ever done that? Please share whatever cameras you got that work though. So in a sense, Windows ME can still grab pictures from 'new' cameras. To work around that, I simply take the 1Gb or 2Gb memory card out of the new camera, and place them into the old camera and download the picture via USB connection.

One trick I've learned about using the above camera, is that I can swap out the memory chips from newer digital cameras, which aren't compatible with Windows 9x, and access them from the older Digital Concept camera that is Win9x compatible.įor example, I have several 'newer' cameras (HP Photosmart M537 for one) that takes better pictures, but requires Windows XP or higher.
