Downloading Your Images

There are two ways to download your images from the camera to a computer. The first method is to connect the camera using the included USB cable. This method doesn’t require any extra equipment, but it does use the camera battery, which depletes it faster. The second method is to use a dedicated memory card reader to transfer the images to the computer. This method requires an extra piece of equipment (the memory card reader), but it doesn’t use the camera battery. Some computers, such as the MacBook Pro, have a built-in SD card reader so you can transfer files without any extra equipment. To download images directly from the camera to the computer, do the following:

1. Turn off the camera.

2. Plug the supplied USB cable into the computer.

3. Plug the other end of the USB cable into the USB plug on the left side of the camera under the microphone jack.

4. Turn the camera on. The computer recognizes the camera as an external storage device, allowing the files to be copied to the computer.

5. Launch the supplied Nikon Transfer software.

6. Select the Nikon D3200 folder in the Source window.

7. Click the Primary Destination window.

8. Select the destination folder. Create a subfolder and new name for the images on import, if you prefer.

9. Select Backup Destination to create a second copy of the images if preferred.

10. Click Start transfer on the bottom right to copy the files from the camera to the computer.
