transferring photos from digital camera to laptop

Hi,

If you have a USB cable supplied with the camera, I would suggest you to use that.

Just plug in and choose Import photos when prompted.

windows 10 and picture download Unable to transfer pictures on system through Camera or printer

Hello Robin,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

We understand that you are unable to import photos from camera or through your printer, we will help you to resolve this issue.

Please provide us additional information to understand the issue and assist you better:

• Is the camera recognized by the computer?
• How are you transferring the photos to the computer?
• What is the specific location on the computer, where the folder is being created?
• Have you logged in as administrator user?

This issue normally occurs due to faulty connection of the device to the computer or if you are saving the picture to default location of the computer, the pictures folder in library is not accepting the photos that should be added and needs to be repaired.

Method 1: I would fist suggest you to check the connection of the Digital Camera to the computer, make sure it is firmly connected.

Method 2: You can import photos and videos without leaving the Photos app.

1. Connect a camera or memory card to your PC.

2. In the Photos app, swipe up from the bottom edge or down from the top edge, then tap Import. (If you're using a mouse, right-click anywhere in the Photos app, then click Import.)

Note: Import isn't available if you're looking at a single picture in full screen view.

3. Tap or click the camera or memory card you want to import from.

4. Swipe down on or right-click each photo or video you want to import to select it.

Note: If you’ve already imported some photos from this camera or card, the ones you haven’t imported yet will be selected by default.

5. Enter a name for the folder you want to put the files in and tap or click Import.

6. When your files are finished importing, tap or click Open folder to see them in the Photos app.

Method 3: I would suggest you to perform all the steps mentioned in the article.

What if a wired device isn't installed properly?

Note: Hold good for Windows 10 as well.

Hope this information is helpful. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.

Thank you.

 

Downloading photos in Windows 10

Downloading from Panasonic digital camera.

I have followed the steps but "Import/Export photos doesn't appear in the dropdown list. Since this is the first time I am downloading into this computer with Windows 10 it was suggested that I need to load new drivers but I can't seem to find them.
