It's really strange to find someone who hasn't ever downloaded pictures if having a digital camera. Anyway, there are different ways to do that, depends on what protocol has your camera.

This is supposing you have at least windows xp.

- First, turn on your computer,, (yep, it needs to be on)...
- Them, after windows has load to desktop, press start and the select My PC. Here you see your drives.
- Connect the USB cable the computer (the one provided with your camera, hope you didn't throw it away, did you?) and later to your camera.
-This time turn on your camera (yes, it need batteries for this)
- You will hear a bell sound from windows, and a message of new hardware found (don't panic, let it work)
- One of two Icons will appear, a hard drive icon with a letter assigned or a camera Icon.
- A small windows might appear at this moment asking what would you like to do. You might select copy image onto PC (here you get a step by step procedure to download pictures and videos) or scroll down and select open folder. If you choose the last one a new windows will appear with a folder, open it and there are your pictures and videos.
- Drag the files to any location on your computer.
- If you close this windows for any reason or it just didn't open, double click the new drive icon or camera Icon on My PC folder and there will be for pictures (remember, the one that appeared when you turned on the camera)

If this didn't work, ask for someone's help. If you don't have Windows XP, you will really need help form someone who knows what he is doing.

Here are some other tutorials for you:

Reading the manual is always helpful. The software supplied with your camera might make your life easier.

Good luck!!!
