How to Get Your Photos on a USB Onto a Computer With a Mini Digital Camera
After you have taken a series of images with your mini digital camera you will want to import them onto your computer. Doing so allows you to clear out the memory on the mini digital camera so you can take more pictures. Of course, before you can begin uploading the content to your computer, you need to connect the camera to the system. Typically this is done with a data USB cable.
