Downloading pics from camera to mac

Please ensure you are using the included USB cable to connect the camera to the PC. Then turn the camera on. You will then be prompted to select a USB mode. Choose "PC".

Hi,

Are you taking pics on auto mode or manual?

When you plug the camera in and turn it on, (you may or may not have to go into review picture mode) it should appear on your desktop as a drive, usually called "no name". Just double-click on it and you can view the pics or drag and drop them to iPhoto. You could also buy a card reader and use it to download....it's faster and trouble-free.

Use a card reader to download your pics to a folder you create on your desktop.

Do what the pros do...use a card reader.

Try formatting the new card in the camera. Also, download any pics from the old card using a card reader and then, format it in the camera.

First, determine if any of the pics on the internal memory are important...if so, download them first. Then, with no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format" and follow the on-screen instructions to erase the internal memory. Then, if the memory card contains any important pics, download them using a card reader if necessary. Then, insert the card into the camera and do the "format" thing again. Now, you should be ok.

The easiest way to download your pics to a Mac is to use a card reader. You can transfer the pics to a folder you create on your desktop and view them from there or import them to iphoto.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive.
