From camera to computer

July 2nd, 2010 by Manmohan Leave a reply »

Most digital cameras arrive with software that is supposed to help move your pictures from the camera to the computer. The truth is, I have yet to use any applications that came with my digital cameras because they’re not generally needed to move photos to the computer.

You can do that within Windows itself by first connecting your camera to your computer using whatever method is provided. You may have a cable or if your camera uses a flash memory card, insert that in its mini-drive or reader.

Double-click Computer (or My Computer, depending on the version of Windows being used) so that your various drive icons are displayed. Double-click the drive letter for your digital camera. It will probably display “Removable Disk,” followed by the drive letter.

Double click the next folder shown, probably labeled DCIM, which is short for Digital Camera IMages, then double-click the folder containing your photos. With your photo filenames displayed, press CTRL + A to select (highlight) all of them, then right-click and select COPY or press CTRL + C.

Close the window you’re working in, then go to your My Pictures folder, or any other folder in which you want to place your photos. Right-click the folder and choose PASTE or press CTRL + V.

Once you confirm that your images are safely ensconced in a folder on your hard drive, you can then organize them into other sub-folders, if you wish, edit them, rename them, or delete them. At that point, you can also delete them from your camera, freeing up memory for additional photos.
