downloading pictures Would you please tell me how to go about downloading my pictures from my digital camera to my hard drive so I can then download them to a floopy disk. I want to be able to take them and show them on our computer at church. We have a big weekend coming up next week and we would like to show our pictures when we do the Sunday morning services. Thank you so very much,

Paula, What make and model of digital camera do you have? What type of computer do you have? Is it a "PC" running under Windows? (If so, is it Windows '95, Windows '98, or a later version?) Is it a Macintosh? This may help in getting a detailed answer specific to your camera and computer system. Many digitals can be connected through a serial or USB port. Download of images to the hard drive typically requires some software from the camera maker to access the in-camera images and transfer them. Once on the hard drive, you can save them directly to a 3.5" micro-floppy . . . if the individual image files are small enough to fit (they should be). If the camera uses flash cards, there are flash card readers that can be hooked up to your computer. This requires removing the flash card and plugging it into the reader. Then, with software to access the reader, you can access the images stored in the flash card. The very generic nature of these answers is why I asked some questions for more details . . . and hopefully someone with your make/model of digital can provide details. -- John

My camera is a Fuji FinePix 1400 Zoom and I have a Hewlett Packard computer running windows 98. I am sorry that I failed to give you this information. I would just like to know how to download my pictures to a floopy disk. It can be done because a friend was able to do it at our New Years Eve party just by connecting the camera to the computer throught the USB port. It was an E computer running windows 98. Thanks for such a quick response. I hope this helps. If you need more information please feel free to contact me. Paula

Windows '98 supports USB ports if you have a USB port on your computer. Your 1400 should have come with a USB cable and some software. Not certain if you have to install the software first, or connect the camera and allow the "Plug 'n Play" feature of the 1400 and Windows '98 prompt you for it. If the software is already installed, you should be able to find it on the Windows "Start" menu somewhere. After the camera is connected with the software installed, you should be able to download the images from the camera to the computer hard drive. After the images are on your computer hard drive, you should be able to simply copy them off to a floppy. How many will fit on the floppy will depend on the size of the images. A common file format is a "jpeg" image. -- John

I am connected by a USB port and every thing is set up and working. I can look at the picturs but I don't know how to download them to the hard drive and them to the floopy. If you could tell me how to do that I would really appreciate it. Thanks Paula

Paula, I had to do a little research . . . and glad I did. How to copy the photographs from your camera to your hard drive . . . or a floppy drive . . . appears to be simple, but it's _not_ inherently obvious. Undoubtedly why you've had troubles. Try this: 9. An alternative method is to start Adobe PhotoDelux after your camera is connected through the USB cable and turned on: Hope this helps out. -- John
