ognized as a removable storage device. Your photos and
videos can now be copied to a folder on your PC.
Transferring your files via SD card
Always ensure that the camera is switched off before the
SD card is removed from the camera, otherwise the files on
your memory card could be damaged. Remove the memory
card from the slot and insert it into the card reader con-
nected to your computer. Some computers also have an
internal slot for SD cards – in this case, insert the SD card
directly into the slot on your computer. Your photos and
videos can now be copied to a folder on your PC.
