- Once you have taken photos with your Nikon D5300, you will probably want to have a go at them using photo editing software. You can move picture and movie files from your camera to your computer in two ways: Connect the camera to the computer via a USB cable. The cable you need is supplied.
- The D1X, D1H, and D1 not supported on computers with Intel CPUs running Mac OS X 10.3.9 Coolpix Cameras: All USB connected Nikon Coolpix cameras except Coolpix 880/990/800/900.
I used to use Nikon Transfer to transfer photos from my Nikon (Coolpix P5100) to my computer (Mac) and it was easy.
Install free Nikon ViewNX-i software which will automatically install Nikon camera drivers to the computer. Restart the computer and then start the connection process again. Alternative solution: use the memory card slot on your computer or an external memory card reader to download.
Now I have upgraded to OS 10.5.8. Why do they have to make it so complicated? I now have to use ViewNX 2 but I can't figure out how to do it. On the View NX 2 screen there's a camera icon labeled Transfer but it is grayed out. I can't find any instructions on how to use View NX2.
How do I transfer photos?
Is there any information available on how to use View NX2?
Added (1). Thanks for the suggestion, Won for All. I've only been using a digital camera for a couple of years, don't do that much photography, would rather not buy another piece of equipment.
I don't even know what this Lexar Pro is, how it works, had to do some searching to find that UDMA is ultra direct memory access and SD reader is secure digital reader. I think this is a bit beyond me.
So if you could tell me how to use ViewNX 2 that would be great.
Added (2). Later -- Problem solved! I realized, I had to delete Nikon Transfer. Then, I could use View NX 2 and successfully downloaded the photos to my computer. It wasn't that hard to do, pretty intuitive. But the downloading was slow.
So for me, it wouldn't be worth buying the Lexar Pro. I can see that for people who do a lot of photograph it might be worth it, though.
You can just do it the old fashion and fast way…
Use a card reader, pop your card in, and drag and drop the images into a folder on your Mac. I use Lightroom & Photoshop, and find ViewNX to be not near as good.
I can transfer 8 GB of photos in about 5 minutes with my Lexar Pro UDMA compact flash, SD reader.
