got camara got e scrap got photobucket

If your camera has a sim card (memory card), and your desktop or laptop has a slot for it, plug in the memory card. Generally your PC will detect the sim card and ask what you want to do with it's contents. Simply select to download the images. Save them some where on your pc where you will find them. Then log into photobucket or any image site, and upload.

It is easy after you do it once. If you need some hands on approach, I can use a programed called "Teamviewer".

This will allow me to connect to your PC with you right there, and control your PC from mine. You will be able to see everything that I am doing. Also, each time you start the program, it gives you a new userid and password, so no worries about me connecting when your not around.

Or feel free to PM me or post here.

I made a sperate folder in photbucket, this way all my scrap forum pictures are safe from being deleted. Upload your pictures, mouse over then select direct link. On the scrap forum when posting you'll see a picture icon, click on this a new box will open past that direct link you copied from your photobucket picture into that box then click OK.

If the link from direct did not stay on your clipboard as it happens with me, I paste the link into my browsers google shown top right hand corner, then after the forum picture box has opened copy the link and paste.

Some guys are using notepad or a blank email to paste the picture direct link into before going to the forums picture box. Same deal it all works if you have the same clipboard problem I have using the scrap forum picture posting feature.

If I have more than one picture to post to the forum I use a blank email to past all my links from photbucket into, make it easy if you do not rename your photos use the cameras nummbering system then change the number manually from each link you paste into the forum box.

Example my camera is numbering each picture as follows. What I have done here is use the camera numbering system, I know that I want to post say four pictures so using the first photbucket link increase each additional number by one. The first picture was 100_4948 and my next picture using the same link but manually changing the last number from 100_4848 to 49 brings un the next picture probably confusing but saves time once you get the hang of it.

There are no pictures to be seen at these urls, just to give an example.

Yeah, it would be a USB cord...just connects your PC to your camera. It should work the same way for you.

When you plug it in the first time, your PC will automatically install the software, so it can recognize your camera. If it doesn't do that, I would check the manufactures website, as you should be able to download from there.
