Help!How do you download still pix from camcorder. Memory card is full. How do I get the pix off of recording?

Question

Hello, and thank you to those that have taken the time to respond. I had to take the camcorder, memory card and tape to a" Video Transfer" expert. Something happened to the memory card. It did not contain the still picture that I needed. I had to have the still image on the mini DV tape copied. What a bummer. I have lost so many, many still pictures. Probably over 200. There were only 49 pictures on the memory card. They were all from October. So all the pictures taken prior to October and after October were missing. I have learned a lot of lessons. Unfortunately, the hard way.

Answer 1

1) Read the manual that came with the camera. there will be instructions to do what you want to do.

2) Get a card reader. Take the memory card out of the camera, put it in the card reader and copy the pictures and video you want to keep onto you computer. Drag the pictures and video you don't want into the trash - empty the trash. Put the card back into the camera.

Answer 2

ok, first connect your camcorder via usb to your computer with the camcorder turned on. you should see a small icon for the removable disk drive appear somewhere near your clock on the bottom right of your screen. ok if that worked now you should have a window pop up to ask you what you want to do. maybe not. your camcorder might ask you to put it in pc mode with the mode dial. either way when you see the icon come up you should be able to right click the start icon and go to explore. ther you will see a removable disk is now avaliable. if none of these things have happened then your usb cable is bad or the camcorders usb connector is bad. but if you do see the removable disk option now just click on it and you can view all your photos. trafsfer them to any folder you want ect..
