You can connect your camera directly to a USB port of your computer using a wire like this: but I recommend you get an inexpensive card reader like the one below because they are generally faster and easier than having to connect your camera each time. If you choose to download directly from your camera be aware that the camera’s device driver must be installed on your computer (not the camera’s other software, just the device driver). Click on the "Download Photos" icon. In the Source Section you can find the device from which the photos are to be downloaded by clicking on the drop down menu. and clicking on the drive where you memory card is or you camera. or click on the ellipsis The "Use Filter" check box is checked when you want to download only images of a certain type, like jpg. My images are almost always of the same type and I always want to download all of my images so I don't check this option. In both the source section and the destination section, you can choose to open Windows Explorer by clicking In the destination section, you need to choose a folder into which the downloaded photos will be stored. Click on the ellipsis You can have subfolders made automatically inside of the destination folder categorized by year, month and day. I don't use this function either. The files can be renamed during the download process by clicking on the "Rename File Names" radio button. I choose to rename starting with the initials of the photographer (mine are JWH) followed by 4 number signs "#". I choose to replace the number signs with the numbers from the file name from the camera. If you clIck on the question make If you click the ellipsis You can select upper or lower case letters for your file names. The last option is to skip files that have already been downloaded to the destination folder. That saves time so I check it. When you have set all of these options, click The "Download Process" window will open for you to review the process that is about to take plaece. To go back to the preceding window click This process may seem daunting at first but it is well worth the effort to learn. The second time you use it many of the options will not have to be changed, making it much quicker and easier. |
