Working with Digital Images

You can connect a digital image source, such as a digital camera or a digital video camera, to the computer either directly or through a docking station. Digital picture files that you copy or download from the device appear in the Pictures folder.

Digital cameras and other digital imaging devices use memory cards, or media, to store digital picture files. You can copy digital picture files from the memory cards used by digital cameras and other digital imaging devices by using the memory card reader (select models only).
