Viewing the Pictures you have taken on your computer 

 
In Windows Me/2000/XP, that camera is Plug-N-Play, and the drivers are built in.  In Windows 
98 Second Edition, you must install the drivers first.  To access your pictures through your 
computer, plug the camera in to one of the 

rear

 USB ports on your computer and then open up 

My Computer.  In My Computer, you should see several icons.  One of them should be labeled 

Removable Drive

 or 

Removable Disk

.  Open that drive and you should see a folder labeled 

DCIM.  If you open that folder, you should see a folder labeled 

100IMAGE

.  If you open this 

folder, you will see all of the pictures that you have taken. 
 
The following are some additional tips about how best to use your Argus QuickClix 2185 
camera: 
 

 

Always try to be close to your subject when capturing a photo. 

 

If using the flash feature, the optimal range for exposure is to have your subject less than 
five feet away. 

 

When taking a photo, try not to pose the subject.  Spontaneous, action, or fun scenes 
always produce the best images! 

 

Do not try to do extreme close ups with the QuickClix 2185 – the camera is optimized for 
a range of 3 feet to infinity, without flash. 

 

The QuickClix 2185 is best used for viewing images on PC, printing 4 x 6 pictures, 
emailing images, including small images in presentations, greeting cards and calendars.
