Chapter 2 iPhoto Tutorial 9
If nothing happens when you connect your camera, check your camera to see if it's
turned on and set to the correct mode for importing photos. For information on which
mode to choose, see the instructions provided with your camera.
To import your photos from a digital camera:
1 Type a film roll name (for example, “Zoe’s Wedding roll #4”) in the Roll Name field (A,
shown below) for the group of photos you're importing. (This allows you to search for
the photos associated with that film roll later.)
2 Type a description (for example, “Pictures from Zoe’s reception”) in the Description field
(B, shown below) for the group of photos.
3 If you want to delete photos from your camera as soon as they are imported, select the
"Delete items from camera after importing" checkbox.
4 Click the Import button. (To cancel photo transfer at any time during your import, click
Stop Import.)
Be sure to wait until all photos have been transferred into iPhoto (or click Stop Import)
before disconnecting your camera. If your camera has a "sleep" mode, make sure it is
disabled or set to a time increment long enough to allow your images to download. For
more information, see the instructions that came with your camera.
To view your pictures, click Last Roll (in the Source list) or click Library and view your
photos by film roll. To do this, choose View > Film Rolls.
To disconnect the camera from the computer:
1 Click the Eject button in the Source list, or drag the camera's icon to the iPhoto Trash.
2 Turn off the camera.
3 Disconnect the camera from your computer.
