Digital Cameras/Card Readers
Data storage devices are often used for Digital cameras, Digital Media players, Mobile Phones and games consoles.
They are typically removable and rewritable, are smaller, faster, have thousands of times more capacity, and are more durable and reliable because of their lack of moving parts. Storagecapacities in can be as large as 256 GB.
Most Data storage devices come in the form of SD( Secure digital) cards, Compact flash cards and microSD cards, which are electronically compatible with SD cards, but have a much smaller physical size.
They some times need a reader to access their data.
There are two ways of accessing the photographs on your digital camera if your using a Mac computer:
1) Remove the camera’s memory card and use a Card Reader to plug into the computer.
The memory card will appear on the desk top and you can access your photographs by double clicking on the icon.
2) The camera can be connected directly to the computer using a USB cable, Normally the camera will show up just like the memory card icon, if not it may be better to use the Card Reader as explained above.
