My best guess would be to use the usb data cord that may have come with your camera to load pics to your computer. After that,I suggest uploading the pics from the comp to your sd card via usb card reader(you can get them on ebay.ca for $10 including shipping) or at The Source for $20.Hope this helps someone.
On my Nikon Coolpix L11, you put your sd card in, hit menu, then copy. It will then ask you if you want to copy from camera to sd, or reverse. Then it will ask you to choose one photo or select all. It works great, hope it works on your camera too.

∙ 13y agoIf you want to put the picture onto a folder on the computer then connect your camera to your PC (or Mac) with the connecting cable (usually a USB cable), which you usually get with the camera you received, then go on its files and copy and paste the picture into the folder.
That way you have more space on your camera and have the pic saved on your computer.

∙ 15y agoTo transfer images from a camera to a computer, there are a couple methods.
One, if the images are stored on a memory card (such as a CompactFlash, SD card, or xD card), you can place the memory card in a card slot connected to the computer. Some computers (such as newer HPs) have slots for these cards built-in (usually in the front near the CD-ROM drives for Desktops, or on one of the sides for Laptops). Some printers also have those slots and can be used to transfer the images from the card to the computer. If your computer and printer do not have memory card ports, you can purchase an external card reader such as this Kingston card reader: http://www.Amazon.com/Kingston-FCR-HS219-Hi-Speed-Media-Reader/dp/B00109Y2DQ/ and connect it to your computer via a USB port.
The second option is to use the camera itself as the card reader. With a USB plug, you can connect the camera directly to the computer to transfer the data. The camera must be turned on for this method to work.
If you are using Microsoft Windows or Linux, Google's Picasa from http://picasa.google.com/ is an excellent piece of software to use for downloading images from a card reader or camera and organizing the picures on the computer. For Macs, the included iPhoto software can be used. In any operating system, you can also manually transfer the images by first connecting the camera or card reader or card to the computer and then browsing to My Computer (in Windows) or the Desktop (in Mac OS X), opening the card's drive's folder, and copying the pictures within to the desired location (such as My Picturs in Windows or Picturs in Mac or Linux) in the computer. Note that before removing a card, it is preferable to unmount its drive.

∙ 14y agoA "camera card" (SD card, CompactFlash card, XD card, etc.) is recognized by Mac OS X as a removable drive, just like a hard drive or USB flash drive.
In order to transfer photos to a connected camera card, you just need to drag the desired photos onto the card in the Finder.
If the photos are in iPhoto, select the photos and export them to the desktop, then drag them to the camera card. Alternatively, you could save a step and export them directly to the camera card.

Can you use a memory card for your camera to put it on your computer?
Yes. That's the beauty of memory cards. Take photos with your camera and directly transfer them to your computer by plugging the memory card into the computer.
Why does my camera tell me the memory card is full but there are no images on it?
Memory cards can have any type of data on them. Try putting it in a computer to see if it is full of other data. On the otherhand, maybe the card is defective.
How does energy transfer in digital camera?
the light of the flash, the heat from the batteries and the memory.
How can you erase a picture from the camera when the camera has no baterry?
Connect to a computer with an USA cable and use the camera memory as a storage disk. You will be able to view and delete photos. Or take out the memory card and put in your computer or a memory card reader. Very easy to delete photos.
I moved my pictures from the computer to my memory stick but when i turn on my camera it says i have no images and all the pictures are in JPEG format so Why can't my camera recognize my pictures?
they may well be in jpeg format but there are other things saved in jpeg other than the pixels of the image, such as camera make, time of capture, aperture etc that can't be controlled manually, which are essential for the camera to recognise images as "it's own", and therefore display them in the playback. I've tried the same thing with my camera.
Can you export pics from your computer to the disc in your digital camera?
Yes, although I don't know why you would want to do that. Assuming you have the correct image editing software that is compatible with your computer and your camera, once your camera is connected to your computer via a usb or firewire cable, your computer recognizes your camera as an external drive and you can transfer image files as you wish. The limitation will be on the storage capacity of your memory card/disc in the camera as well as on your computer. Note however, if different images files have the file name, you will be prompted to overwrite one with the other, which may result in the loss of one of the images. You should not erase or delete a file residing on your camera's memory card from the delete file commands on your computer. This may create directory havoc with the files on the memory card in the camera and render it unreadable with subsequent file loss. A better solution is to invest in an external hard drive or several usb mini flash drives and transfer images to those if you are running out of space on your computer. Once you've transferred the image files from your camera's memory card to your computer or non- camera auxiliary drive and disconnected the camera from your computer, you should use the camera's command to initialize or re-format the memory card which will erase all the images and free up all the memory for more picture taking.
What software would you use to transfer pictures from a camera to a PC?
You actually don't need any specialized software to transfer the images. In most cases, you can connect your camera to your computer via a USB cable, treating your camera as an external storage drive and moving the files over. The other option is taking the memory card from the camera and inserting it directly into your computer if you have a card reader slot.
