More Digital Photography Talk

[practicekindness]

Got this camera for Christmas. Love the large LCD and its ease of operation. I also own 3 older SLR 35mm and another digital. Welllll, I am wondering just how in the world to successfully download pics to "My Pictures" (Microsoft Vista) instead of to the EasyShare that I installed.

Also, when I have downloaded to EasyShare, I lose the pics from my camera. What's up.  

Any answers? Hope so.

Thank's y'all.

Hi practicekindness and welcome to the Q&A Forum.

You can download photos using a free program such a Picasa or Irfanview. Links to them can be found here:

Picasa is probably the easier, most intuitive to use of the two. Here is a review of the program:

I'm unfamiliar with the EasyShare software but most programs give you the option to remove images from the card after they are downloaded. You can most likely change the setting in the software. The setting is usually found in the Tools menu via the Properties menu.

Glad you're enjoying your camera!

ps. lovely screenname!
