 Using a Digital Camera with Mini CD

1.  When you are ready to take a picture, make sure the dial is turned so that the picture of the green camera is next to the gray piece next to the dial.

3.  Push the arrow down two times. Push the arrow to the left to Finalize. Press the arrow to the left again. (NOTE: this step may vary, depending on the camera you are using.)

4.  Arrow up so that OK is selected in yellow. Then press the center of that gray button.

5.  It will ask you to put the camera on a level surface. Do so, and do not touch the surface! Arrow up so that OK is selected in yellow, and press the center of that gray button.

6.  When it is finished finalizing, it will tell you. You can then remove the mini disc.

7.  Once the mini disc is in the CD drive on your computer, open up My Computer, and then double-click on CD-R Drive (D:). It should open a folder that has another folder in it. Double click on that folder, and then double click on the next folder. You should then see your pictures, and you may now do whatever youÕd like with them.


1.  While the CD-R Drive (D:) folder is open, go up to the Edit menu.

2.  Scroll down and click on Select All.

3.  Go to the Edit menu again. Click on Copy.

4.  Open up your Locker. Go to the Edit menu. Click on Paste. Now they're in your Locker, so you don't need to have the mini disc to get to them.
