Put Pictures Onto A Camera Memory Card







A digital camera may have a slot for inserting a memory card.


Digital cameras save photographs to digital memory -- either internal or external (memory card) -- instead of rolls of film. While many digital cameras, including the Olympus FE-100, Kodak EasyShare C613 and Canon Rebel XD save pictures to a memory card by default; however, you may have to edit this setting to save your pictures to the memory card. You can also move pictures or other media from a computer to your memory card for use in devices such as digital picture frames. However, your camera may not recognize pictures that you back put back onto the memory card.


Instructions


Basic Usage


1. Insert a compatible memory card into the slot in your camera.


2. Turn on the camera by pressing the "Power" button.


3. Press the "Menu" or "Settings" button on your camera and move the option for choosing the memory location using the directional arrows on your camera. Select "OK" to edit this setting.


4. Select the memory card that you inserted, instead of the camera's internal storage and press "OK."


5. Press the "Menu" or "Settings" button to exit this screen.


From Computer


6. Insert your memory card into an internal (built into the computer) or external (connects via USB) memory card reader that you purchased.


7. Choose to open the memory card folder, if prompted by your computer; otherwise, open "My Computer" and open the drive that corresponds to the memory card from there.


8. Open the folder that contains the pictures you wish to move to the memory card.


9. Drag and drop the pictures from the current folder to the memory card folder; you may also click on a picture and press "Ctrl" + "C" to copy from the existing folder to the memory card.


10. Disconnect the memory card or card reader. On Windows computers, you can first stop the hardware from the "Remove Hardware" tool that appears in the task bar and then physically remove the cables or card.
