Move your digital images from your Sony camera to the computer using a USB cable.
Transferring photos from your Sony camera to a computer is a good way to back them up. While they are on your computer, you can also edit them or mail them. To get the photos onto the computer, you've got several options depending on your particular Sony camera. Most cameras come with a software disc that can aid in transferring photos, but if you don't have this disc you can still transfer the images to your computer using the USB cable that fits your camera.
