You can use this application to import pictures and videos from all kinds of devices, not only digital cameras. The procedures detailed in this guide also apply to smartphones and memory cards.
How To Start The Import Photos And Videos Wizard From Photo Gallery
First, you need to start Photo Gallery.
In Windows 8.1, you can open this application by typing "photo" while on the Start screen and selecting Photo Gallery from the list of search results.
In Windows 7, click the Start button, type the word "photo" in the search box and click the Photo Gallery search result.
Once Photo Gallery opens, plug in your digital camera or smartphone via USB. After the device is detected and installed by Windows, you will see in Photo Gallery that the device is shown in a new category, named Devices.
Click or tap the Import button located on the Home tab of the ribbon, in the New section. The Import Photos and Videos wizard is now shown. Select the device you are importing from and click or tap Import.
Alternatively, you can skip the previous steps by clicking or tapping the camera, in the Devices list. The Import Photos and Videos wizard checks your camera for photos and videos. Wait until the check is done. Depending on the volume of data on your device, this check will take several seconds or several minutes.
You are shown how many pictures and videos are found and you can choose how you want to continue with the import.
If you want to import all the pictures and videos from your device, read the next section. If you want to import only a group of pictures and videos, read the section following the next section.
How To Import All The Pictures From Your Device
Choose "Import all new items now". You also have the ability to enter a name as well as add tags for the pictures that you want to import. When done, click or tap Import.
The import process is now started. At this point you have the option of erasing the files from the camera, after the import process is done, by clicking the checkbox labeled "Erase after importing".
