Use A Sandisk Memory Card In A Digital Camera

SanDisk memory cards work on most digital cameras that require a memory card.


SanDisk is a digital flash card used to store information on small, portable devices (typically digital cameras and cell phones). The SanDisk brand of flash memory cards ranges in the format type, as different electronic devices use different kinds of formats. However, no matter what the format is, the card is used the same way in a digital camera. You just need to know the exact format needed for the digital camera before attempting to use the flash memory card in the device.


Instructions


1. Look through the user manual of your digital camera to see what format of memory card the device uses. This is important so you know what SanDisk memory card to purchase.


2. Open the memory card compartment on the digital camera. Some cameras have the card housed in the same location as the batteries.


3. Slide the SanDisk card into the memory card slot. Push the "Power" button to turn the camera on.


4. Aim the camera at a desired subject matter, then click "Capture" to capture the image onto the SanDisk memory card.


5. Plug the USB cable (provided with the camera) into the USB port of the camera, then insert the other end of the cable into one of the USB ports on the computer. Power on the digital camera (if it isn't currently on) and set it to "View." The computer will state that it has detected a new, digital camera connected to the system.


6. Click "Start," click "(My) Computer," then double-click the digital camera icon. In a moment a window will appear with all the images stored on the SanDisk memory card displayed. Click-and-drag the images from the the open window onto the computer to copy the contents from the memory card. Once the images have finished copying over close out the open window, right-click the digital camera icon and choose "Eject" from the pull-down menu. Remove the camera from the computer once the icon disappears.
