Appendix 5: Importing Pictures from Your Digital Camera

A digital camera takes pictures that can be imported, or transferred, directly to a computer.

If your digital camera came with a memory card like the one below, follow these steps:

1. Make sure your computer is on and ready to use.

2. Look for a small door that opens on the side or bottom of your camera. Open it and there will be a small memory card inside. Push down on the card and it will pop out.

3. Look for a slot on your computer that fits the memory card. Slide the card into the slot.

4. A box will pop up. Click IMPORT PICTURES.

5. Save the pictures to your folder on the desktop.

If your digital camera came with a cable, follow these steps:

1. Make sure your computer is on and ready to use.

2. Look for a slot on the camera that fits one end of the cable. Insert the cable into the slot.

3. Look for a slot on the computer that fits the other end of the cable. Insert that end of the cable into the computer.

4. If the digital camera is off, press the power button. If the digital camera is on, go to the next step.

5. A box will pop up. Click IMPORT PICTURES.

6. Save the pictures to your folder on the desktop.
