I can't transfer images from camera to pc - Nikon Coolpix S220 - Aqua Green 2.5" LCD Digital Camera

ALTERNATE WAY TO TRANSFER PHOTOS TO COMPUTER
If your photos are stored on the memory card, then removethe memory card from the camera and insert it into an USB memory card reader.Connect this USB memory card reader and memory card into the USB port of yourworking computer. Your computer will see this as an USB Mass Storage Device oran external storage device; you can then open the folder on the memory card andcopy the photos to your computer.Memory card reader is a handy device and is inexpensive. Youcan copy photos from other cameras and you can also download photos off yourmemory card to someone else's computer without the need of installing anyprograms.

There are some solutions, but the most easy one is:

1. Take the SD card out of the camera and connect it to the pc to transfer the images. After that, put the SD card back into the camera.

2. There is a menu option in the SP800uz to change the memory to Intern, Extern (SD) and Auto (default). Change it temporary to Intern, connect the camera to the PC and transfer the images. Set the setting back to Auto (or else) afterwards.

I'm sorry for the difficulties you're experiencing in copying images from Internal Memory to the Memory Card. Unfortunately, COPY option is not available in DSCT700.

You may connect the Camera to Computer after removing the Memory Card to transfer images from Internal Memory to Computer. And then insert the Memory Stick and transfer back to Camera to copy the images to Memory Stick.
Only few Cameras do not have the COPY option. Unfortunately, you're one of the victim.
You can confirm the information from the Handbook of the Camera.

Thanks for understanding. Please let me know if you require any clarifications.

Try re-installing the Nikon transfer software on your computer. Have you also just tried using the computer's image software to transfer images (or just copy and paste from the camera to the desktop)?

Take your camera to radio shack or walmart and you can get a cable from them.

I'm glad to provide the steps to transfer images from Internal Memory of the Camera. When the camera does not have a memory card in it, the images are saved by default to the camera's internal memory, which holds different amounts of images based on how many megapixels are built into the internal memory and what image quality and compression are selected in the camera's menu. Once a memory\picture card is inserted in the camera, the camera then saves the photos to the memory\picture card and ignores the internal memory.

There are two ways to transfer the images from the internal memory.

• To transfer photos to a computer from the internal memory using the USB cable, first remove the memory card from the camera. Then, when the camera is connected, the computer and software will only see what is in the internal memory and transfer those photos or videos. During the transfer process, the computer makes copies of the photos and videos-the original images remain in the internal memory. After the transfer is complete and the camera is safely disconnected from the computer, the contents of the internal memory can be deleted by using the MEMORY FORMAT function in the SETUP menu in the camera's menus.

• The other way to transfer photos from the internal memory is to transfer them to the memory\picture card using the BACKUP function in the SETUP menu. If there is no memory\picture card in the camera, the BACKUP function is grayed-out. During BACKUP, copies of the images are transferred to the memory\picture card-the original images remain in the internal memory. After the BACKUP is complete, the internal memory can be cleared by removing the memory\picture card and formatting the internal memory using the MEMORY FORMAT function in the SETUP menu in the camera's menus.

Note: When the camera is connected to a computer using the USB cable with a memory\picture card in the memory\picture card slot, the computer will only see the contents of the memory\picture card.

Thanks for understanding. Please let me know if you require any additional help.

Windows will automatically install the software driver necessary to connect your camera to your PC. Here is the procedure for transferring the files.

To transfer images from your camera to your Windows XP PC, follow these steps:

1. Connect your camera to your PC using the USB cable.




2. Turn your camera on, your camera will connect instantly to your PC. If a message appears on your camera shown in the illustration below, select the 'Computer' option on your camera.




3. After you have selected the computer option, a pop-up appears on your PC informing you that Windows has found new hardware.




4. Double click the 'My Computer' icon located on your desktop. The My Computer window appears.




5. Double click the 'Removable Disk' icon in the My Computer window. The Removable Disk window appears.




Note: The drive letter associated with the removable disk may be different depending on your system.


6. Double click the folder names DCIM in the Removable Disk window.




7. Find the folder named 101SSCAM. The images taken with your camera are in the folder.




Note: Each folder in your camera contains up to 99 images. Once this limit is reached, your camera creates a new folder. Folder names may vary depending on your Camera's Series.


8. To copy the entire folder to your PC, right click the 101SSCAM folder. A menu appears.
9. Highlight 'Send To' in the middle of the menu. A sub menu appears.
10. Select 'My Documents'.




11. Windows copies the folder into 'My Documents'. Depending on how many photos are in the folder, copying may take a few minutes.
12. Double click the folder in My Documents to access and view the pictures taken with your camera.

Press the MENU/OK button. Use cursor-left/right to select the Setup menu (wrench icon). Use cursor-up/down to select "Move images to Card..." and press MENU/OK. Confirm when the confirmation screen comes up.

The above is from the "Move images to Card" section of the manual (page 93 in my copy). If you need a manual, you can download one from the manufacturer's web site at

Just figured this one out. Man, they don't make it easy. I'm borrowing my roommate's PowerShot A510 and since it has a USB port going out, I'd assume I could simply connect the camera to my PC and access my images directly. Almost every other camera I've seen will register itself to Windows as a straight USB connection (prompting the Windows screen asking how you want to open the connection - 'open folder' etc). This one just sits dead quiet about things :)

If you've just bought this camera at a garage sale or are borrowing it or for whatever other reason do not have the "bundled" software and driver CD or have the camera's serial number, do not bother trying to find windows drivers or try to obtain any software from Canon. You won't get very far.

FINALLY found the solution in the User's Manual (which was free thank God). You can download the manual here: http://usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/digital_cameras/powershot_a_series/powershot_a510#BrochuresAndManuals
(Select your operating system and download the "PowerShot A520/A510 Camera User Guide". File name is PSA520510CUG-EN.pdf)

In the User Guide, page 107 (I'll paraphrase):
1. Put camera in Play mode (the switch on the back (green arrow in green box)
2. Press Menu button (center one of the three along the bottom of the view screen)
3. In the 1st menu option (Play Menu, again green arrow in box highlighted), use the wheel button to scroll down to highlight "Transfer Order". Press Set (center of wheel).
4. You should now see "Transfer Order (DPOF) at the top of the screen and "Qty. of images 0".
5. Below "Qty of images 0" you'll see "Order", "Mark All", and "Reset". Order lets you select individual images; Mark All marks all current images for transfer; and Reset is reset. Press Set to choose.

Note: pressing the Menu button while selecting images brings you back to this main screen. If you are already at this main screen and you aren't ready to do your transfer yet, DON'T press the Menu button from this screen as it will initiate the transfer to your computer. Not a horrible thing, but might cause a mini freak-out.

7. Once you're selected the images you want to transfer, from the main Transfer Order window (now showing "Qty. of images" with a count of the images you selected), press the Menu button.

8. You'll see a white progress bar at the bottom of the screen. Don't worry! it's not deleting files or something bad.. (my first thoughts :) ..
9. Go to your PC and Voila! the Windows AutoPlay screen is now active!
10. Proceed with normal Windows USB operations (transferring at least, I didn't try any deletion).

I hope this helps somebody else out there who spent the last 3 hours trying to dig through internet hell to get this to work.

Atm, this is as much as I know so I probably don't have any good answers for any questions. Sorry :))

But, hope this helped at least!

As a part of the download process, most cameras and transfer applications ask you if you want to delete the images off of your camera once they've successfully transferred to your PC. Check the preference setting of the application you're using to transfer the images to your PC. Best way to check is to transfer images to your PC, disconnect the transfer cable and see if the images are still on your camera.
