What if the AutoPlay dialog box doesn't appear?

If the AutoPlay dialog box prompting you to import your pictures and videos doesn't appear when you connect the camera to your computer, AutoPlay might be turned off. If this happens, you can import your pictures and videos to your computer through Windows Explorer instead. Here's how:

1. Click to open Computer.
2. In the navigation pane on the left side of the window, under Computer, right-click your digital camera, and then click Import pictures and videos.
3. (Optional) To tag the pictures, type a tag name in the Tag these pictures (optional) box.
   By default, the folder name includes the date the pictures and videos are imported and the tag name.
4. Click Import.
   A new window opens and shows the imported pictures and videos.

Tip

• If you prefer, you can turn on AutoPlay or set AutoPlay to automatically import pictures and videos from a digital camera. For more information, see Change AutoPlay settings.
