HOW TO DOWNLOAD PICTURES
FROM A DIGITAL DEVICE
FROM START TO FINISH
The first step is to create as many
New Folders you think will be necessary.
Consider
each folder
its own
separate
Photo Album.
Next, connect the USB cable that came with the device.
Turn the device on.
Plug in the other end of the USB cable to the computer.
A dialogue box (popup window) may automatically
appear after connecting the device.
A set of windows may
popup looking like this.
Or just one window
that looks like this.
Select
If the dialogue box (window) doesn’t popup immediately,
give it a minute.
Waiting a minute gives
the computer time to
automatically find the
right drivers so these
After drivers are installed a dialogue box
should automatically popup.
If installation was unsuccessful or if the
computer has been idle in search for
drivers more than 5-minutes, it’s
advisable to run the original installation
disk that came with the device.
devices can communicate with each other.
Look for the Folder with the
device icon and click on it.
The portable device shown
above is of my Canon camera
If drivers install successfully but no dialogue box appears
Click on the
Start menu,
and then click on
Computer.
After clicking on the device icon, a window similar to this
one should appear where pictures can now be accessed.
To access pictures, click on Browse files
Next, click on Removable storage
Then, click on DCIM. Always look for DCIM folder in any
device that takes pictures. This is where they’re stored.
My device named its picture folder: 136_10
Device folder names vary according to manufacturer.
Here are the pictures in folder 136_10
There are no more folders to click-through to.
Now that the pictures have been located. It would be a
good time to open a second dialogue box (window) to
easily move pictures from one folder to another.
click on the
Start menu
then Documents
Clicking on the
folder shortcut
can open a new
dialogue box, too.
To open a
second
dialogue box
In the dialogue box with the pictures, left-mouse click
anywhere in the white area, keep the button down and
move the pointer across the top of the pictures to select.
Use shortcut keys Ctrl+A to select all pictures in the
dialogue box, too (optional)
Once the desired pictures have been highlighted, release
the mouse button, then left-mouse click on one of the
pictures to drag all of the selected pictures over to the
New Folder. Keep the button down while dragging.
Always try to note whether you’re Moving or Copying
files over to the New Folder.
If it was a successful Move, the selected pictures will
have been removed entirely from the device over to the
New Folder.
If it was a successful Copy, pictures will have been only
copied from the device over to the New Folder. Originals
would still need to be manually deleted from the device.
Take a look inside the New Folder to make sure the
pictures are where they’re supposed to be.
Now congratulate yourself on a
job well done!
