The document provides instructions for exporting and storing digital photographs using different storage devices and file formats. It discusses SD cards, memory sticks, and external hard drives for transferring photos from cameras to computers. It also explains how to transfer images between these devices and computers, and defines common image file formats like JPEG and RAW.
2. SD Card
• An SD card is a type
of memory card
typically used in
digital camera and
other portable
devices.
• SD stands for “Secure
Digital”
3. Memory Stick
• A memory stick is a
type of memory card
used to transport files
to different places like
different
computers/laptops
via USB.
4. External Hard Drive
• An external hard drive is
a portable storage device
that can be attached to a
computer through USB or
FireWire connection, or
wirelessly.
• They typically have high
storage capacities and
are often used to back up
computers or serve as a
network drive.
5. Transferring images from Digital
Camera SD Card to a computer
• Open the battery
compartment where
the SD card is located.
Remove the SD card
and put it in the SD
card slot in the
computer. Push the
card until it clicks then
wait for the window to
appear with all the file
inside.
6. Transferring images from a Computer
to a Memory Stick
• Put the memory stick
in the USB port and
wait for the memory
stick’s interface to
appear. Then select
the files that you want
to add to the memory
stick. Copy the files
and drag into the
memory stick file.
7. What is JPEG?
• A format for
compressing image
files. It’s the most
common format for
storing and
transmitting
photographic images
over the internet.
8. What is RAW?
• A camera raw image file
contains minimally
processed data from the
image sensor of either a
digital camera, image
scanner, or motion
picture film scanner. RAW
files are named so
because they are not yet
processed and therefore
are not ready to be
printed or edited with a
bitmap graphics editor.
