Read An Xd Card

XD memory cards are manufactured by Olympus and Fujifilm.


Digital cameras use memory cards to store images and video taken by your digital camera. And while you can review the images on the LCD (liquid crystal display) on the back of the digital camera, the pictures are best viewed on a larger screen. When you get home after a day of shooting you can plug your camera into your computer using a USB cable, but it is preferred to use a XD card reader to view and download your images from your XD card. Generally card readers will download quicker than when you try to download from your camera.


Instructions


1. Remove your Olympus or Fujifilm XD from your camera and insert it into your computer card reader, or use an external card reader.








2. Click the start button on the bottom left of your desktop, and click on "Computer" or "My Computer" if you using an older operating system.


3. Click the icon that identifies the XD card which is now installed. In the new window there will be a folder identifying the camera the pictures were taken with. Click this folder to view your pictures.
