Best Answer

Almost all computers have tasks that are either ongoing or need to be done before it is shut down, thus, cutting the power to it could have negative effects on it, as compared to allowing it to communicate to these tasks that it needs them to either run or stop, and letting them do what they need to do.

How do I download pictures from Fujifilm Camera to HP Computer?

When you bought your camera, there should be a CD. Just put your CD in your computer and there should be an easy setup. I, for one, did not do this and without thinking, I just plugged my camera in without the CD. DO NOT do this for the first time. Make sure you put the CD in first or else your computer will freeze up and it'll cost you a lot of money to fix it.
