The easiest and best method to download photos and video from your camera to your computer is via a little USB card reader (which are quite cheap these days).
Card readers also work for moving photos from the computer onto a card. This applies to video, too.
Plug the reader into a USB port and insert the memory card.
It will show up as a drive, and you can simply drag and drop the photos across to the folder of your choice.
However, don’t expect to view them on your camera. The downloading itself (and even more so any changes you might have made to the file) changes something in the file. As a result, many cameras no longer recognize it. Besides, memory cards aren’t meant for permanent storage, and there are MANY better ways to display photos than on your tiny screen.
But it can come in handy if you just want to transfer a few photos onto the card so you can get them printed.
Cameras are not meant for permanent storage, nor for displaying photos or videos – there are many better options than that.
