If you want to make sure your camera is working perfectly on your Windows computer, you should keep your camera driver up to date.
To update your camera driver
You can update your camera driver manually or automatically:
Method 1: Get your driver from your camera manufacturer’s website
You can download the camera driver from the official website and install it on your own. Here’s how you can do it.
- Go to the official website of your camera manufacturer, then search your camera product.
- Go to the driver download page for your camera product, then download the correct and latest drivers for it. Download the right drivers for your variant of Windows system. You should know what system is running on your computer — whether it’s Windows 11, 10, 8 or 7, 32-bit or 64-bit version, etc.
- Open the downloaded files and follow the on-screen instructions to install the drivers on your computer.
Method 2: Update your camera driver automatically
If you don’t have the time, patience or skills to update your camera driver manually, you can do it automatically with Driver Easy.
Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it. You don’t need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don’t need to risk downloading and installing the wrong driver, and you don’t need to worry about making a mistake when installing.
- Download and install Driver Easy.
- Run Driver Easy and click the Scan Now button. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.
- Click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system.
(This requires the Pro version which comes with full support and a 30-day money-back guarantee. You’ll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All. If you’re not ready to buy the Pro version, Driver Easy offers a 7-day free trial which includes access to all the Pro features such as high-speed download and one-click install. You won’t be charged anything until your 7-day trial has ended.) - Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
