Computer

2 ways to start off

• One Way To Transfer pictures is by having or inserting a usb cord that came with your camera.

• Another way is to take the memory card out of your computer and insert it into your computer.

• Step:1 Take out the memory card from your camera and insert it into your computer.

• The SD card needs to be pushed in until you hear a click.

• Step:2 Windows should display a message asking what you want to do with the card.

• This is the AutoPlay menu, and you should choose Open folder to view files.

• Step:4  Change the view so you can see thumbnails of the photos

•  You can also enable the preview pane (the option is on the left-hand side of the View tab) it will display a large version of the photo when you click it.

• Step:3 A new Explorer window should open and you should see at least one folder called DCIM. This is where your photos are stored. Double-click the folder and you will see at least one folder within it.

• NOTE**If you’ve used the card in several cameras, each will create its own folder in the DCIM folder.**
