You can import photos from a digital camera and save them on your computer. If your camera stores the photos on a memory card, you can also use a memory card reader attached to your computer to upload the digital photos from the removable drive that Windows 7 sets up. Once you have the digital photos on your system, you can view, make repairs to, or print the images.
Import Images from a Digital Camera
1 Plug in your camera or memory storage card reader. The AutoPlay dialog box appears.
2 Click Import Pictures and Videos using Windows. The Import Pictures and Videos dialog box appears.
3 Type a word or phrase that describes the photos.
4 Click Import.
Windows 7 begins importing the digital photos.
5 To have Windows 7 erase the photos from the camera or card, click Erase after importing.
The Imported Pictures and Videos window appears and displays the recently imported photos.
6 When you have finished looking at your photos, click the Close button to close the window.
How do I view the imported photos?
If you have closed the Imported Pictures and Videos window, note that Windows 7 stores the imported digital photos in the Pictures library. It creates a new subfolder, the name of which is the current date followed by whatever word or phrase you type in the Importing Pictures and Videos dialog box.
For example, if the current date is April 12, 2011 and you typed bench3 Vacation in the text box, the new subfolder will be named 2011-04-12 bench3 Vacation. Open the subfolder to see your imported digital photos.
