  After taking pictures or videos:
Log into a computer

 

Set your camera up next to your computer.

  • Do not set it down on the side of the lens

 

 

Turn it to the 'play' mode

  • Most cameras have some kind of 'play' mode where you can review the pictures you've taken.  The symbol often looks like like a triangle

Connect the small end of the download cord to the port on the camera

Connect the large end of the download cord to a USB port on the computer

  • These ports can be in the front, the back or the side of the computer

  • If the cord doesn't fit, turn the end around
