Digital Camera Question....?


I have a camera that I need to upload the pictures to computer.. I bought one of those memory card readers... do I need a program also to upload the photos? If so what?

If you have Windows running, you will see a removable disk appear in your "My Computer" window. Double click on that removable disk (followed by a letter "E:" or "F:", etc.) and then depending on your camera manufacturer, you'll see a folder. Open the folder and you'll see bunch of files usually with ".jpg" extention. On a Mac system, an "untitled disk" will appear on the desktop as soon as memory card is inserted in the card reader. You can also connect the camera (with memory card inside it) using an USB cable. Plug the camera to the computer and turn it on; the camera will act as a memory card reader. USB cables are shipped with digital cameras and USB ports are now standard in all computers.

For automatic transfer of pictures from memory card to PC, you can use Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard (Windows XP) or you can install the program from the installation CD shipped with camera. These programs automate the transfer and even let you customize the name and folder options while displaying thumbnails of the pictures about to be transferred to the computer.

your camera should have came with instructions...you might want to read the manual first before you start buying other things you may not need.

No, just take out the memory card and plug it in to the memory card reader. It should autoplay on Windows XP. Click View files and folders. Search through the folders for your pics. Copy paste into My Pictures or a directory of your choice.

Nope, this should be all you need. All you have to do is drag and drop them or copy and paste them into whatever folder you want on your computer.

The only software that would be needed, would be a picture editor like photoshop, if you want to edit the pictures in anyway. These can include cropping them, resizing them, fixing red eye, turning a color picture into a black & white picture, etc...

The memory card reader should have come with a small disk that contains the program you need to upload the pics.

Your camera is suppose to have a cable that would have connected the cam to the comp to transfere files. You didn't need the memorycard reader unless your like me and you use a laptop and you could do with 1 less cable and use a PCMCIA card that is out of sight and out of mind until you need it.
