Step 1

Reset your VTech Kidizoom Camera. If the programs on your VTech Kidizoom Camera stop working, you can reset your camera in two different ways. Using the point of a paper clip, press in on the "Reset" button. If pressing the "Reset" button does not work, then you need to turn the camera off and remove the batteries. After leaving the batteries out of the camera for a few minutes, place the batteries back in the camera and hit the "Reset" button again with the paper clip. Turn the camera on. If the camera is still not working, replace all the batteries with brand new ones.
