Hey there khinuu,


We recommend using the steps below to help with your camera is not working with your Mac:


• Make sure the USB or USB-C cable is properly connected to your camera and the computer. If your computer has another USB port, try plugging the cable into it.
• Check your camera to make sure it’s turned on and set to the correct mode for importing photos. See the instructions provided with your camera.
• Check your camera’s memory card for damage. See the documentation that came with your camera for more information on this or other possible problems.

Take care!
