how do i download photos from my digitil camera to my computer?

Answer 1

Your digital camera should have a cable included to allow you to connect to your PC (usually it's USB). Simply connect the cable and Windows should automatically detect it (normally software is also included for easy transfer of images from camera to PC). If your camera has flash memory (MMC, SD, etc.), then you can buy a memory card reader. That way, you can still transfer images even if it's only the flash memory you're holding.

Answer 2

Two ways:

1. Install the CD that came with the camera. Make sure you install it before connecting, as that will simplify the install procedure. Then go to My Computer and look for an icon with your camera. Every time you connect your camera (assuming you are using Windows XP) you will get a dialog asking you to download the pictures.

2. Buy a memory card reader. Take out the memory card of your camera and take it to an electronics store. Ask them for the card reader and install it on your computer. Every time you connect your card, you will see it again in My Computer.

If you don't have a USB cable or drivers, take your camera to the store and ask for the cable, in most cases they will carry the cable for about $20. Find your manufacturer's site and look for the drivers for your camera under Support/Download.

Answer 3

Make sure you have installed, if any, the cd-rom that came with your camera. You can connect the usb cable from the camera to any usb port on your pc,or slide your memory card into the card slot on the pc. Your computer should auto download your photos.

Answer 4

Sure. I did exactly that today. If you have a Windows computer, it's just a matter of doing the "drag and drop" from the computer drive to the card. Some memory cards, like the SD/MMC and "memory stick" units, have a "lock" on them to prevent unintentional erasing of the card. Make sure the lock is "off" before copying.... I have two cameras, different brands, that use the same kind of memory card and store pictures with the "jpg" extension. I can store pictures from both cameras on the same memory card, and one camera will recognize and display pictures from the other. It's helped me to put related pictures together in one memory card before I transfer them all at once to a CD or do a lot of printing.

Answer 5

You need to load the software that came with the camera(CD) onto your pc,then connect the cable that comes with the camera to a USB port on your PC.Hope this helps

Answer 6

You should have a cable with a connector for the camera at one end and a usb plug at the other. Connect the two, one end to camera other end to PC. Go to My Computer, right click and find the 'drive' you have just connected. Follow the instructions.

Answer 7

you should have got a cd and a usb cable when you bought the camera. load the cd and install the software. plug the camera into your computer using the usb cable and the software will take you through the whole thing. hope this helps.

Answer 8

If your computer or printer has current technology, you insert the camera memory card into the proper slot. If your computer is older, you have to purchase a memory card reader and plug it into a USB port.

Answer 9

I put my memory card in the computer then, something should pop up and ask how you want to view them. Another way is once its in the computer go to star menu and select my computer from there you should see an icon for the memory card and open that. Then just save them to your computer. I hope this helps!

Answer 10

Either use the usb cable that came with the camera or buy a card reader.
I much prefer the card reader myself.
