    Ran out of storage today and had to free up my sd card. First time ever transfering photos and I'm so glad I came across this tutorial. Clear, straight to the point, and exactly as described.. it didnt even take me ten minutes to transfer everything. Thanks so much!

    You are the BEST!!! I have tried for a couple of days to transfer photos from my Pixpro AZ401 using a USB with no success. Then, as you suggested, I used the SIM card after inserting it into my computer, and all of the photos came up for me to import. THANK YOU!!! Have a great weekend/holiday in remembrance of Memorial Day.

    • @ThisGuy
      @ThisGuy  Před rokem

      You're welcome. Once you've transfer the files to your computer, you just have to delete the ones from your SD card right away (is that what you mean?)

  • @xtensionxward3659
    @xtensionxward3659 Před 5 měsíci

    the more important question is which method wears down the camera hardware more ?
    i assume that breaking the usb port inside the camera over repeated numerous usage is better than breaking the sd card slot because that would kill the camera while with a broken usb port it can still function and write photos on the sd card .
    however using the usb port could be potentially more risky because a power surge could burn the camera circuits .. there is also using the wifi or bluetooth option but it isn't valid for me as copying a 5 Gb size files could take hours

    • @ThisGuy
      @ThisGuy  Před rokem

      When I view my images in "list view" the dates that I see are the dates that the photos were taken...? But the date that you took the photo will also still exist within the metadata. If you right click on the photo and go to properties, I think the "modified date" is the date that photo was taken and the "created date" is when the photo was added to the computer. Did that work for you?

    • @ThisGuy
      @ThisGuy  Před rokem +2

      I tend not to ever use the App for any camera (no particular reason, just learned a different way and got used to it).. In my classroom I have students use the cables for our older cameras (Canon T3, T6, etc), but using File Explorer and not the app to do the transfer. For our newer cameras however, I get students to remove the SD card and transfer via card reader and file explorer. For myself, I always remove the SD card. I think it's better/more reliable...but that's just my opinion/experience, not an actual proven thing. Hope that answers your question/helps...?

    why does it look good on the camera but very bad quality on pc

    • @ThisGuy
      @ThisGuy  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Because when images/screens are smaller (like on a phone/camera) the pixels are compressed/more dense...so even lower quality images will probably still look good. Once you expand/view on a larger monitor the pixels are no longer as dense, and thus the image won't look as good (especially if you missed focus a bit and/or have a camera with lower megapixels).
