I would like to get photos from my digital camera to computer. how is it done?

I have canon powershot A530 camera and wants to download photos to my computer. Please guide me...

Get the USB cable which you got with your camera.

Plug it in the camera (the hole should be somewhere on its side under some cover) than plug the other end in the computer's USB port (consult http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB to see how the USB port looks like)

See if Windows displays a "Found New Hardware" pop up. If it does not than you need to turn on your camera. After it says "Found New Hardware" wait until it automatically installs it and says "Your new hardware is installed and ready to use"

Than go to My Computer. Right click the camera icon and hit "Get pictures". Mark the pictures you want to download, hit Next, select picture names and folder where you want to place them. Wait until they download on your PC... and ready ;)

Hope this help... if not read camera user manual.

Usually digital cameras his supplied with cables to be connected to the computer. Please read the manuals of you digital camera.

Usually you need a data cable. one end goes into the camera and the other into your computers USB drive. They can be pretty cheap on Ebay. I hope i've helped. Good luck

Its a plug and play, every digital camera has a cable and most of the drivers is present in Windows XP, so just plug your cam to the PC and let the windows do the rest. after successful install, you can browse it already.
