What mode should camera be in to upload pictures does it matter if you connect usb cable to ccamera or computer first

does your camera has a usb port? if it does try finding the appropriate usb cable, if it doesn't check if it has any bluetooth or some other connectivity devices.if it does you will have to install a bluetooth device to your computer in order to transfer photos and videos.

The basic steps to uploading pictures from your camera using a USB connection are as follows:

Connect your camera to the computer using the USB cable provided.
Turn on the camera
Go to my computer
Your camera should be listed there.
Double click on it to open up your picture folders.
Select the pictures you want to transfer.
Drag them to the folder on your computer where you want to save the pictures. (The easiest way to do this is to open that folder in a separate window and then just drag the photos there.

If you need additional assistance, let me know.

As far as I know, most cameras are made so that once it senses a USB cable (whether as being inserted physically or as a source of current), it reduces the camera to pretty much no more than a memory card reader.  It is my belief this is so you can't use your camera directly with your computer, either as a web cam or using your computer as an immediate storage device.

- Connect the smaller end of the USB
cable into the USB port of your DXG.
- Connect the other end of the USB cable to your computer's USB port.
- The Digital video camera’s LCD Panel will turn on and will display
the PC Connection Menu
- Press the select button up or down button to select Mass Storage
Device option on the menu screen.

Goto my computer, you can see new 1 drive appear (or 2 if you have SD card in your DXG). So now you can copy/upload your pictures to your computer hard disk.

please go to the camera setup option and change the output mode to USB....... connect the camera again to the computer and transfer your file ....

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.


The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.


Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.
