ALTERNATE WAY TO TRANSFER PHOTOS TO COMPUTER
If your photos are stored on the memory card, then remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into an USB memory card reader. Connect this USB memory card reader and memory card into the USB port of your working computer. Your computer will see this as an USB Mass Storage Device or an external storage device; you can then open the folder on the memory card and copy the photos to your computer. Memory card reader is a handy device and is inexpensive. You can copy photos from other cameras and you can also download photos off your memory card to someone else's computer without the need of installing any programs.

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.

Have you set the format to PAL, NTSC or whatever the standard the camera is.

If you continue trying to copy from the computer to the camera, you risk corrupting the card and your camera.

The procedure to transfer pictures to a Computer depends on whether or not the Camera has the capability of using Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP). If the Camera is capable of PTP (in this case; DSC-S730 - YES), set the USB mode in the Camera menu to PTP and then use the PTP procedure to copy the pictures to the computer. Otherwise, use one of the standard USB transfer procedures.

This procedure must be performed while logged in as Administrator or to an account with Administrator rights:

1. Turn on the Computer.
2. Turn on the Camera.
3. Insert the recording media containing the pictures into the Camera.
4. Set the USB connection or Transfer mode setting in the Camera menu to PTP .
5. Use the USB cable supplied with the Camera to connect the Camera to the Computer. NOTE: Connection through a USB hub or other USB device --such as a printer or keyboard-- is not supported and cannot be guaranteed. The Camera should be connected directly to a USB port on the Computer.
   NOTE: The Scanner and Camera Wizard should automatically start.
   
6. In the Scanner and Camera Wizard window, click the Next button.
7. Under Choose Pictures to Copy , do one of the following:
   • Click to select each picture you want to copy.
   • Click Select All to select all the pictures for copying.
   NOTE: Selected images will be marked with a green check mark.
   
8. Click the Next button.
9. Under Picture Name and Destination , in the Type a name for this group of pictures field, enter a name for the folder where the pictures will be saved.
10. Next to the Choose a place to save this group of pictures field, click the Browse button.
11. In the Browse for Folder window, click to select the location on the computer where you want to save the pictures.
12. Click the OK button.
13. In the Scanner and Camera Wizard window, click the Next button. NOTE: The pictures are copied to the Computer.
    
14. After the transfer process it finished, under Other Options , click to select Nothing, I'm finished working with these pictures .
15. Click the Next button.
16. Click the Finish button.

If you are still unable to transfer pictures, please switch the USB mode of the Camera to Normal or Mass Storage and try again.
After following the steps above, the pictures from the camera should successfully be copied to the computer. If for some reason the pictures did not copy, try using the method for standard USB picture transfer.

I'm assuming you are using the Windows XP Operating System in the Computer. If not then follow this link:
