How to Save Photos From Your digital Camera

Once you've taken photos with your digital camera, you need to store them somewhere. You could always leave them on the memory card, but that would be very expensive, so let's check out a few other options.

  1. Transfer your images onto your computer. Most cameras come with a cable for connecting to your computer, a CD with an installation program and an instruction brochure. Transferring the images is fast and simple. Once they are on the computer, you can erase the images from your memory card and start shooting more photographs.
  2. Burn your images onto a CD. If you have a CD burner on PC, you burn your photos on a CD for storage or share with others. When it comes to pictures, it is often best to use a CD that cannot be overwritten. This will save you the heartache of losing your precious photos. Label the CD and store it at an easily accessible place.
