The process for copying photos and videos to a computer is the same for almost all camera models. You will need a USB cable, a camera and the computer itself, as well as, possibly, drivers for the camera. The procedure itself is not complicated.
Necessary
- - computer;
- - camera;
- - usb cord;
- - driver.
Instructions
Step 1
Make sure your computer has the correct drivers. A disc with them is included with the camera. Insert it into your computer and follow the installation instructions. Determining if the drivers are installed is very simple: connect the camera to your computer via a USB cable. Usually, there is a single connector format for cameras; it will not be difficult to buy a cord in any store with the appropriate equipment. After the camera is connected (on), check if the computer recognizes it. If not, then most likely the drivers are not installed.
Step 2
If the computer displays a dialog box, then it sees the camera. In the dialog box, find the "Open" item. A list of files will appear - these are videos and photos taken with the camera. Now all actions are similar to copying from one disk in the computer to another. To see which photos you are copying, right-click on the camera file folder. Select "Browse", then "Icons" or "Large icons".
Step 3
Highlight the files. To select all content at once, press and hold CTRL and at the same time drag the mouse down from the upper corner of the folder, having previously pressed its left key. When the files are selected, press the right mouse button. Select "Copy". Now create a folder on your computer where you would like to save your photos or videos. Go to this folder. Right-click on an empty space in the folder and click "Paste". The files will be copied safely.
Step 4
Note that the copying time can be quite long, but it is not recommended to interrupt it for the files to work correctly. Also, try to connect a camera with enough battery power to your computer so that it doesn't turn off in the middle of the process. If the computer persists in not recognizing the camera, try plugging the cable into another USB port on the computer.
