One advantage of using a digital camera -- as opposed to a traditional camera that uses film -- is that getting images off a digital camera involves a only quick, electronic transfer, one that often takes minutes to complete. Use your choice of several possible methods to get digital pictures from your camera's memory card to your computer's hard drive.
Instructions
1. Insert your camera's memory card into your computer's memory card reader, if it has one. A memory card reader is a long, flat port in the side of your computer, roughly one inch in length. Push the memory card in until it clicks.
2. Use a USB memory card adapter. Insert your memory card into the USB adapter and then insert the USB adapter into one of your computer's USB ports.
3. Connect your camera directly to your computer, making sure its memory card is in the proper slot. Hook your camera's USB cord first into its serial port, and then into one of your computer's USB slots.
4. Open "My Computer" and double-click the name of your card, USB adapter or camera. Highlight all the pictures you want to transfer to your computer, right-click anywhere in the folder and click "Copy." Navigate to the location on your computer where you want to store the transferred photos, right-click and select "Paste."
