How can I down load pictures from digital comera?

I have a digital camera, Canon PowerShot, SX210 IS. I want to download the pictures on the camera to my Dell Inspiron computer. Can you help with simple directions? I am a novice in this type of task. Thanks.

Hi drreider, you probably won't use Firefox for this.
Most Canon cameras come with a software CD. Did you install Canon's software and the user guide?
Basically, there are two ways to get photos from your camera onto your computer.
(1) Use a card reader. Your Inspiron might include a card reader (a small slot), but it's not included on every model.
The advantage of using a card reader is that your camera can just be turned off while your remove the SD card, insert it into the card reader, and copy the photos onto your PC. Less drain on your camera battery.
When you insert the SD Card, Windows 7 will first set up the device driver, then ask you how you want to access the photos. You can work with it just like another storage device, or you can choose a program to import the photos. This is where your Canon software would kick in. There are lots of other options, too.
(2) Connect using a USB cable. Your camera probably included a USB cable.
The advantage of using USB is that you do not need to eject the SD card and move it around, so there is less risk of damaging it.
When you connect the camera, Windows 7 will go through a similar process of recognizing your device and asking how you want to access it.
Hope this helps. A great forum for digital camera users is dpReview. For Canon, you could ask questions on this one: [http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/1010 Canon PowerShot Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review].

    How do I down load pictures from Camera Roll on my iPhone to my Mac Pro that were taken prior to iCloud?

    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. This was the same prior to photo streaming with iCloud and remains the same since.
    With a Mac, you can use iPhoto for the import which also supports iCloud photo streaming, or the Image Capture application.

  • How can I down load ios5 from my ipad2

    How can I down load ios5 from my ipad2

    Only once you've got iOS 5+ on the iPad can updates then be done wirelessly directly on the iPad, until then you need to update via your computer.
    To update to iOS 5.0.1 you need iTunes 10.5 on your computer. When you've got iTunes 10.5 installed then connect your iPad to it and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. You should also backup the device (right-click the iPad 'device' and select 'back up'), and copy off any important documents, files, notes etc (e.g. by email, the file sharing section at the bottom of the Apps tab, wifi, whatever the apps that you use support) - the update process should backup and restore your content but it's best to be safe.
    If iTunes doesn't then prompt you to update to iOS 5 on your iPad, then with the iPad connected to and selected on the left-hand side of it, then on the Summary tab on the right-hand side click the Check For Updates button.

  • How do I down load pictures from my iphone to my computer

    I can not figure out how to down load pictures from my phone to my computer, if I sync it it wants to bring all my pictures from my computer to my phone. I' am trying to clear the pics out of my phone. Thanks

    The Camera Roll on the phone identifies itself as a Digital Camera to your computer. You don't sync them as you do everything else with iTunes.
    You get them off as you would any digital camera.
    You don't say what type of computer you have so instructions are different depending on that.

  • How can I get imported pictures from my ipad 3 to my laptop?

    Pretty much what the quetions states - "How can I get imported pictures from my ipad 3 to my laptop?"
    I've imported a load of pics from my Nikon D40 to my iPad 3 (ios 6.1) using the iPad camera connector. 
    So far so good.
    However I cannot sync the pictures to my laptop (win 7).  I would like to be able to keep the albums I have created, and get them to the laptop too.
    If a restore was required I might lose thee pics.
    Any advice or apps recommended to help me?
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve Potter

    To copy photos to your computer that were copied to it via the camera connection kit (or taken with it or saved from emails/websites) then see this page (as far as I know you can't copy their albums) - on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard

    Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Can you explain, and perhaps post a screenshot?
    Also, I haven't heard of any changes from 10.1.3 that would alter the way we work with multicam. Maybe you can describe more clearly the problem. I would guess that going back to 10.1.2 would not fix anything, but it hard to know since it is not clear what the problem is.

    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
