Working With Still Images - Sony VAIO PCV-RX790G User Manual

Working with Still Images

The Microsoft® Windows® XP operating system and the multimedia software
preinstalled on your VAIO® computer make it easy to import, edit, and print
your photographs and other images.
To import still images
There are a variety of ways to bring still images into your computer depending
upon whether you have a digital camera or a traditional film camera.
If you have a digital camera:
❑ Connect directly to your computer using the Microsoft® Windows® XP
operating system which already contains all the necessary software to import
pictures from many newer USB (Universal Serial Bus) digital cameras.
Simply connect a USB cable (optional) between your camera and computer,
and Windows XP takes you through the steps for sending your pictures from
the digital camera to your computer.
Other digital cameras store pictures on floppy disks, Memory Stick®, or
❑
other storage media that you can insert into the appropriate drive on your
computer.
When the storage media is inserted into your computer, you can copy your
pictures to your hard disk drive.
If your digital camera does not have a USB connection or is not directly
❑
supported by the Windows XP operating system, refer to the manual that
accompanied your camera for details on how to connect your camera to your
computer and transfer images.
