How to Transfer Photos Onto a Camera
Many people make a big deal about the benefits of transferring photos from a digital camera to a computer. Not many talk about the convenience of transferring photos back onto a digital camera. Doing so can be an easy way to show off previously taken photos in situations where you'll have your camera with you. It can also be a way to get the photos off of a computer hard drive and safely back onto a camera's memory card. Performing this transfer is quite simple and takes just a few steps.
