Transfer your pictures to your computer
Before you can get started you need to install the software that came with your camera, and use the cables to connect your camera to your computer. Consult your camera manual for more information on how to set this up. Many people find it more convenient to use a device called a card reader. This allows for faster transfer times, and reduces the hassle of hooking up cables every time. Learn more
