Importing Photos from a Digital Camera
Once you’ve take photos with your digital camera, you need to move them from your camera into iPhoto. This is easy on a Mac and requires no additional software.
To connect your digital camera:
- Use the USB cable that came with the camera to connect it to your Mac.
- Turn on your camera. In the viewing area, iPhoto displays the photos stored on your camera.
To import all the photos on your camera:
- Click the Import All button in the lower-right corner of the iPhoto window.
To import some of the photos on your camera:
- In the iPhoto viewing area, click the first photo you want to import. To select a range of photos, hold down the Command key and click the next photo you want to import.
- After selecting all the photos you want to import, click the Import Selected button in the lower-right corner of the iPhoto window.
When the import finishes, turn off your camera and disconnect it from your Mac. If you capture images on flash cards, simply connect a card reader to your Mac, insert a card, and let iPhoto take over from there.
