How do I download pistures from my camera to a computer

from Computer to Camera?
Don't you men from camera to computer?
If not, then the problem is that your camera does not recognize any photos that aren't in a specific folder such as "DCIM"
Elaborate on your question a little more please.

There are several possible causes for this.

1a) The pictures are in a folder unknown to the camera. This could be due to the folder name, or its position in the folder structure.

1b) The pictures have filenames that do not correspond to the camera's naming scheme.

2a) The pictures were taken by a different camera. Many cameras will not display pictures that were taken by a different camera.

2b) The pictures have been edited on a computer. Many cameras will not display altered pictures.

Unless you have very strong reasons for keeping some pictures on the card, you should have the camera format the card after you download the pictures to a computer. Formatting wipes out all information on the card, preparing it afresh for further use. Failure to format the card periodically can lead to future problems.

If you need to keep some pictures on the card, format the card in the camera, then use a card reader to put the pictures back onto the card.

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.


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, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.

do you use a lenz cleaner on the lenz of the camera

You should be able to download them via usb. If you aren't seeing them when you plug it in take the memory card out then try.

If you have been downloading the pictures from the camera to a specific folder, this could cause it to happen. For example, if you have a picture titled IMG0021 and you copied it to the folder on your computer, and deleted it from the memory of the camera, there might be a new replacement for the file depending on your camera settings. That is, since IMG0021 is no longer available, your camera might automatically name another recent picture IMG0021 thereby causing conflicts between them.
The best way to solve this problem if you want to keep all your files in one folder is by renaming your pictures or setting the camera to name them in another method( this function is not always available in all camera models).
Also, another step you can take is by copying them to another folder and see if it copies. If it doesn't copy and gives the same error, then you might have to seek help from an engineer as the computer maybe having problems or conflicts working with your camera.

I'm afraid that Isn't possible.
Cameras aren't portable media players; the built in software that cameras have can read only a very limited number of file types and configurations.
Usually a camera can read only what it had written to the memory; if you open a file on the camera and make even a minor modification using a computer, it will never read that file again.
