I've done this before but after 7 months of hospitalization for Covid-19/Pneumonia and multitudes of medications, I have forgotten some of my simple processes; good to know you are still here.,..Shalom A'Leichem
I just clicked like because of the beard. Respect.
😂 Thanks!
Im a fan of your work
OMG. TYSM I was trying to figure this out with my camera FOREVER. You really helped me out. Even though I'm watching this in 2021. Ty.
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching.
I just decided to buy a Panasonic G7 & this video is the clearest information on the Web for moving files into the PC. Well done & thanks,
Glad it was helpful! Also great camera!
@@HelpCloud thanks although I would have gone with the G85 if cost wasn't a consideration. Any experience with the G85?
Thank you for the easy to follow instructions
Thanks for your help, I'm going to be working on a huge project with alot of editing 👍
No problem 👍!!
Leaving another comment here man as I thought that was a brilliant video leaving us absolute beginners in no doubt what to do
Thank you, glad it helped out. I appreciate the feedback & support.
i connected my camera to my pc via usb, but it doesnt recognize
nvm it works now
Awesome, glad you were able to work it out!
On my camera it wont show me the options so it wont pop up on the computer
@@thedefaultdorks5471 i'm having the same issue and am so confused
@@TravisGilbert Yeah it sucks, I just screen recorded on my ps4
Very well explained thank you! 😊
One tip you could give to viewers is that if that if nothing shows up on "My Computer", make sure you check your USB connection settings on your camera, and select PC.. That helped me.
Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks so much! It’s super helpful!
Glad it helped!
Excellent instructions so easy to follow. Thank you
Hi, I am new. Great video! I really like how you have it setup with you down in the corner with the big screen being your computer screen. Can you do a video on how you did that? I am just setting up my studio and would love to know how to do that.
Awesome! Thank you! The setup I was using a webcam with a software called OBS (Open Broadcast Software), this allowed me to screen record with a frame of myself.
Thank you so so so much for this I finally learned how to transfer photos from camera to pc Thank you
thankyou bro! you ghelp me a lot. now I subscribed on your chanel!
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much *very helpful*
Glad it helped!
wham bam thank you maam..quik and ez..i was overthinking that i needed a special disc. wheew thx
Thanks for sharing
Would you happen to know that once you upload those photos and videos from your Dslr camera to computer if you can upload them to social media easily ?
It depends on the Social Media. But theoretically yes.
I was a bit confused coz the camera comes with two cables--av out and USB--but the ports it has are for av out and HDMI. And everyone on the internet kept saying that to transfer photos, you gotta connect your camera to the laptop with a USB cable. Well, they mean av out...
Thanks so much for the clarification.
I'm a total noob to this. Let's see how it goes.
Thank you for being so succinct and clear!!!!
thank you i was wondering if it came with a cable!!!! great job
Thanks! wanted to save a recording from my camera and send it to my manager
Glad I could help!!
Thanks will try this method
Do we lose any quality by any chance by doing it the cable way, Just bught a laptop without an SD slot and have always been used to doing it in such way. Thanks for the video dude. Have a good one
Nope, cable or sd card is the same quality.
@@HelpCloud That's super helpful mate. saved my life watching this
My digital camera uses an SD card to store the Videos I'm recording. If we want to transfer the video from the camera onto my labtop, can I just connect my camera to the labtop using the USB cable OR is the only way to tranfer files will be to take out my SD card and put it into the SD reader that's attached to my labtop??
Thanks For This Help
Welcome!
Hey, thanks for the video! Would you be able to help with this problem? When I view the photos on my computer from my camera, the pictures are darker. The settings that I set on the camera to lighten the photo do not transfer to the computer. Do you know how I can fix that?
Thank you
Plugged in the Lumix G7 with the very same USB lead you have, but my PC doesn't recognise it. It shows up in Other Devices in the Device Manager and I'm pretty sure it needs an updated driver. After installing one and having the new driver (bin file), it can't locate it. Can you help?
I would reinstall the driver.
Easy info. Thanks!!)
will this work with a chromebook? i will be using the Nikon D3500
Potentially, plug the camera in the chrombook and see what happens, I don't have either to test with.
HelpCloud okay thanks
Yeeesssss!!! Thank you!!
Hello There, how would I go about in an easy way to first save my Raw Images to my 3 x External Hardrives? Then make a folder; then go into Classic Lightroom? For some reason, I always muck this up! I thank you for your time in advance...
Do you know how your external drives are setup? Do they copy the data to each one?
3 separate/independent external hard drives. My Lightroom always clears my cards, so I like to save them first , then take them into Lightroom, but always struggle and muck things up. So, I was hoping that you could show the correct procedure...
this really helped my you just earned yourself a like
Glad it helped! Thanks for the like!
Thank u i needed this
You bet!
thank you.... very helpful go Ravens

WOW I dont haave the same camera but thanks. Helped alot I guess! But i dont know how to get them back into my camera. there gone from my camera now. my photos and videos are super spiecel
You can copy and paste in the reverse order.
Nice video I have had HDC panasonic shooting format of AVCHD. 2008. What cain of os windows I need to export video to my pc?
That is a fairly older Codec, you should be able to use any version of Windows 7 and up.
Thank u so much this was very helpful🙂🙂
Glad it was helpful!
You rock!
Great help thanks
my cannon 100d is not asking my PC to connect.. nothing happens and I cannot see a drive on my pc -.-
I am doing the axact steps but my PC doesn't regonize the camera
When I upload or pull videos directly from my Canon Vixia HF W10 and move to Adobe Premiere Pro it only shows the video, no audio file. Can someone help? All tuts show to select V1 and A1 before dropping but it won't let me select A1 since it's not pulling the audio. Yet it plays the audio everywhere else like media player and on thr camera? No mic.
I would check to see if Premiere has any updates it needs. I also found this on an Adobe forum.
"Most likely your camcorder is saving your video with AC3 (Dolby Digital) audio, which is no longer supported by Premiere Elements. AC3 support is provided in Windows 10, so you would be able to edit this video on a Windows 10 machine. However, Windows 7 does not provide this support in the operating system.Can you set your camcorder to record in PCM audio?"

How do you do the opposite of this and upload photos from your computer on the digital camera?
Good sir thanks
thanks bro saved my grades
Awesome!
Very good vid 👍🏼i never had a problem with this until recently. Now when i open my dcim the vids aren't there. The videos are on The card because im able to play them in Windows media player but for some reason its showing in the folder. Have you ever encountered this? Thx
I have not, check this link and show hidden files to see if they show up

@@HelpCloud ty ill try that
I don’t understand how u made a new file onto your background? My labtop won’t let me.
Right click -> New Folder
I have a Panasonic G7 like yu have. When I plug it into the USB on my computer, I can hear the sound that it is connecting, but it doesn't show up under "This PC" like I would expect it to. Any suggestions to correct this? The card reader on my computer will read the SD card if I take it out of the camera and insert it into the computer, but I would like to do it with the cable. Thank you.
On the camera you may need to select USB mode when plugged in. Make note that transferring through the USB from camera is slower then directly from the memory card.
is it possible to record video on computer while shooting?
Certain cameras can save to external drives, you will need to do some research for the camera. Another option may be a capture card.
Thanks dude much love
No problem!
this video helped me a lot!! tysmmmmm
Glad it helped!!
Sounds simple enough, I hope it works. Sony Cyber Shot
Oh! Thank you kindly sir!
You bet!
Hi i use the original box it use to work like u show in video but now i will not recgnize the camera /// Do u know what its wrong?
Is the cable you are using the one that came with the camera?
When I plug it in nothing pops up and the camera is on too
The cable you are using could be charge only. Do you have another cable to try?
Thank you thank you thank you
You are very welcome
I have windows 10 and a nikon camera i plug iy
With the factory usb cable and yes my camera is ready but nothing pops up how do i fix it i have a gaming pc so not sure if thats a problem??
Is there anything on the camera screen?
Dear god thank you!
You are welcome!
What system do you use to compress large files?I'm using handbrake to transfer files from my canon g7x to my computer,but I keep getting and error unknown notification Everytime I try to compress.
I haven't used that program so I'll have to look into it a little more but first maybe check if the download for that program is for your Operating System. (x86 and x64)
Also your operating system has a built-in compression software but I would probably go with something like 7-Zip, Archiver or WinRAR, these will typically compress more efficiently than your operating system's built-in compression software.
Let me know if you're still having issues!
Thanks soooooo muchhhhhhh
You bet!
When I plug in my camera it dosent pop up anywhere
Make sure the camera is turned on. Also are you using the cable that came with the camera?
i have a nikon coolpix b600 and i cant seem to connect the camera to the computer even with a connection
What is the error or issue?
It's only coming up with photos not my videos there's no diffrent folder for it eather just the one that you said in your video. Any suggestions?
Double check your device settings and verify the videos save to the same location.
Thank you!
You bet!
But sir when i tried this the double arrows are showing on thumbnail of photo and also not opening and sharing . And all photos are converted mb to gb .now how can i solve this
Each photo is has a different MB size, when you select all of them or multiples, it calculates the size which could be GB.
Hey man so like I made a copy of like 55gb worth of videos of our childhood for my mom and many of the videos have that green check mark on it but most of them have a sync (double arrows making a circle) saying sync pending. And when I get to the folder on the top left a green bar keeps flashing to the right. Like the >this pc>desktop>Folder. How long does it take for the sync pending for the videos. And will it delete if it keeps going?
It depends on the size/amount of the videos and the bandwidth.
@@HelpCloud will the files delete if it takes too long to sync??
I'm plugging mine in and nothing is showing up
Do you have a different USB cable? That current one could be power(charge) only.
Thanks, ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Welcome!
Got all that. How do you delete from camera after import while still hooked up? Window 10 setting must have changed because I used to be able to delete.
It should automatically provide that option.
Before selecting import there is a checkbox asking if you want to delete all photos after import.
@@HelpCloud Thank You, I'll check!
Sure thing, let us know if you have any trouble!
My camera doesn’t appear in devices and drives
Most likely the cord you're using only has charging capabilities.
You'll need to be sure you're using a cord with Charging and Data Transfer capabilities.
Typically, this should be the cord that came with your phone or you can also find one by looking up the manufacturer of your phone.
Also, be sure your phone isn’t asking you to enter the phone password when you plug it in!
I have a question i uploaded my photos from my DIGITAL camera chip to my laptop computer. But i had 721 photos its only showing 45 of them .how do i get the rest of them imported ?
You may need to redo the process.
Have the same camera i recorded a video in 4k but couldnt transfer it need help
Do the files show up when it is plugged in? Also when you do plug in the camera, on the screen you will need to tap the computer option.
Thanks
I opened all my hard drives, then turned on my camera, sure enough it showed along with the others. I could not do anything with it, but showed that the computer and camera were llinked.
Is the memory card protected?
Thank you👍
No problem 👍
Whenever I imported images from a camera to my computer, I would have the option to "DELETE IMAGES FROM CAMERA AFTER IMPORTING" them onto my computer. Now it no longer gives me that option. What happened? Where did it go? How do I get it back?
Did any updates take place?
@@HelpCloud Probably.
My video file was like 1 GB, The computer is not accepting it. What do I do??
Do you know the format?
I lost the original usb for my nikon b500 and I got a replacement online. while I was trying to import my files in the cp it was having issue finding pic/videos ...
so it's not working is it because it's not the original usb ?
Was the replacement USB from the Nikon or a generic USB cable?
@@HelpCloud it say it's for nikon usb but I don't if it's a fake one or something... because I can't find any in stores they don't hold that part.
ok so my question is, does this work with a gopro??
Yes it can!
What do you do if it’s not coming up on the laptop
Try a new cable.
i have a macbook and dont shows up :(
Be sure the phone isn't asking you for your password! If you enter that, or if you don't have a password and it's still not showing up at all, most likely the cord you're using only has charging capabilities.
You'll need to be sure you're using a cord with Charging and Data Transfer capabilities.
Typically, this should be the cord that came with your phone or you can also find one by looking up the manufacturer of your phone.
Hope it helps
once you transfer it can you delete the videos\photoes to save storage on ur camera
Once the files have been transferred. You can delete them as it has made a copy.
thanks but I use Chromebook, but does the USB charge your camera if its plugged into the computer or is the USB for importing the data ONLY?
edit: i do have a windows 10 but it wont download anything LOL
Charging with the cable varies per camera. What camera do you own?
thanks this relay help me on my first video on my UA-cam channel
That is awesome, glad we could help get you started!
nothing pops up on my computer :(
How did you green screen the laptop screen
It was a desktop.
I have a small 4k and when I plug it to my computer, it doesn't show me anything. It just charges the camera. I can't transfer the files... :(
You may want to pull the storage device out of the camera to plug in directly instead.
What cord are you using, is it the cord your camera came with? If not, start there.

Why do my movies not show up?
They should, they could be in a different location.
I REALLY need the photos back very fast ASAP please help me
Check your previous comment.
everytime i click “clip” button none of my video clips pop up?? i need ur help idk what to do :(
What camera?
@@HelpCloud sony DSC-HX80
hey when you first plug it in the thing doesnt show up on my camera to enable it so idk what to do
What does show up?
@@HelpCloud nothing
Is the cable you are using, the one that came with the camera?
I think I must be getting old. I found your dialogue a little too fast for me to absorb your instructions. Would need to play video several times to make sure I fully understand sequence of instructions.
I'm here because the wire you are talking about @0:26 is lost.
If your camera has Bluetooth or wireless, you can use that method too.
Thanks a lot!
But it doesn't work for me. I have G7 camera. I could see files, but couldn't copy or do anything else, just see.
It shows an error in Windows Explorer as if the sd card was locked, but it's not. Rebooting doesn't help.
Will appreciate any help/
Do you have the drivers installed? The G7 that I also use has no issues using this USB cable.
@@HelpCloud yes, it was correctly installed with photofunstudio. I have this issue on two different PC`s. Have all updates on Windows 10
12.5 MBps is way too slow.. Can't we transfer files faster with a USB 3.0 port??
You can, however if the hardware(camera) can't xfer at higher speeds it doesn't matter.
Thank u i have to get sime idea
Most welcome 😊
Does it also work on your laptop?
Also...nice beard bro 😂🧔
Yes it does, thanks!
thank you I will give it a whirl if it doesn't I will come back again
Roger that!
