Transfer Shortcuts: Using Memory Card Readers
Just because your camera comes with a USB cable, that doesn??™t mean you have to use it. Memory
card readers, which are gadgets that let you insert a memory card and read images from it like
a floppy disk, let you easily transfer images to the computer without messing with any cables at
all. Using a memory card reader has several advantages:
?– You can conserve camera battery power because the camera isn??™t used in the transfer.
?– You don??™t have to get to the back of your computer to connect or disconnect cables.
?– Transfers might be faster with a reader.
?– You can avoid using transfer software because readers let you drag-and-drop images
directly to a folder on your hard disk.
Use a Memory Card Reader
The kind of memory adapter you choose depends largely on the kind of removable memory your
camera uses.
