Digital cameras can be connected to a computer with a USB cable.
Cameras often come with their own installation and photo-editing programs. These programs let you copy pictures from the camera to your hard drive. Operating systems such as Windows 7 have built-in tools that let you do the same thing. Even though it might lack advanced photo-enhancement tools, Windows does the job quickly. If you do not want to tinker with the software bundled with your camera, let Windows take care of it.
Instructions
1. Connect the camera to the computer. You will need the camera's cable. Turn on the camera after you connect it. Windows' "Auto Play" dialog box will appear, showing a list of options.
2. Select "Import pictures and videos using Windows." The "import" dialog box opens.
3. Enter a tag for the pictures that are about to be imported.
4. Click "Import." Windows 7 will copy the pictures from the camera to the computer. When the importing is completed, the pictures' destination folder will open in a new window.
