8.If the message complains that the folder is in use, check all folders, and even if it is not in use, click it again, possibly a third time. Then it will say it is safe to unplug your device. The LED light on the card reader will go off (Figure 4).

How to use the Computer to Organize Eye Pictures
There are many possible methods of image management, but how best to download and organize a collection of eye pictures? I’ve been comparing the many ways of getting pictures from the camera, and different ways of storing them. This is a
1.After taking a batch of pictures, turn off the camera and attach it to the computer using the USB cord. It attaches near the bottom of the focus light battery pack on the camera and any standard USB port on the computer. Turn the camera on. Alternatively: Eject the memory card and insert it into the card reader, then plug the card reader into a USB socket on the computer.
2.The computer will ask what you want to do – which program you want to use to bring the images into the computer hard drive.
3.At this point I am currently recommending that you select the "Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard" since it has the best behavior and options. I do not bother with Nikon Picture Project but it does work well with the Nikon Capture program. The Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard is good at putting your pics into a logical place with conventional filenames. You can specify the directory name and the first part of the file name (left part), and it will use consecutive numbers to make the filename suffix (right part).

The Wizard shows you a list of thumbnails of all the pics, with a checked checkbox by each one. Alternatively: Select the last option, which has a yellow folder icon next to it and it will just open the memory card as a drive letter. You will first see a folder named “DCIM” (Digital Camera Image Memory). Open this, and you will see another folder named something like “100NCD50” or “101NCD60” etc. Open this and you will see the list of image files. If the same card is used in different cameras, you will see a different folder for each camera. Create a destination folder with a name such as
4.When the Wizard is finished, just close out and then turn off the camera. It is now ready for the next batch and you disconnect the USB cable from the camera at this point.
Important – Card Usage:
a.If you are using a card reader, close each window that is referring to the memory card, and any program that may be accessing it. Then go to the small icon tray at the lower right of the Windows toolbar (normally at the bottom of the screen) and
