On the vertical edge of the camera, next to the shooting button and dial wheel, there are two rectangular/oblong doors that can be levered up at one end by a fingernail. Do this gently as each door is connected to the camera by one small tab. Very faintly imprinted on one door is 'A/V Out DIgital'. This is the one to open. The connector is inside.

On the bottom of the camera there is a slider switch. With your thumb slide up on the switch and with the existing pressure slide the plastic cover including the thumb switch to the side and there you are ;-)

When I got mine I got a program called "PhotofunStudio". I believe you go to the icon that says "acquire" to download photos from memory cards or internal memory. You just use the supplied cable to connect the camera to the usb on your computer. If I remember correct, after you connect the camera to your computer, on the screen of the camera will be a couple of options of what you want to do. Just click on the option you want and that should be about it. Wish I could help more, but I use photoshop. With that I pick my option and open photoshop then go to "bridge" or "mini bridge" (don't remember offhand which) and click on the icon that looks like a camera and select the pictures I want saved.

When you plug the camera into your computer, it shows up as a external drive. You can then download the photos & videos to your hard drive.

Christina: Easiest way to download, without the cable, is to remove the card (postage stamp size, beside th e battery.) Most laptops, printers, and screens have a slot that it will slide right into. Then, if it doesn't pop right up, go "Computer" then look for a drive that looks like DCIM, or Panasonic, or Pictures. Click on that to open, then drag to the My Pictures folder.To get a new cable, you should take the camera to RadioShack or Best Buy as there are many different USB small-end plug sizes.

The camera should have come with a cable that plugs into the camera at one end and the computer at the other. You just plug it in and then turn on the camera and it will upload a program to your computer and then a little window will appear that asks what task you want to perform. You choose download pictures and it will put them in your computer. Only takes a few seconds!

Look on the Panasonic web site for a manual to download. To remove the card, on the bottom of the camera is a slide opening, you will notice a gray arrow shape, push the slide in the direction of the arrow and it will slide to the right then you can swing it up, once you see the card you can gently push down on the card and it will pop up enough that you can pull the card out to replace. If you have a SD card slot on your computer you can place the SD card in your computer to view/download your pictures if you have software for photos.

The camera should of come with a usb cable that connects from the bottom of the camera into your computer. If you hook that up and turn the camera on, then your computer will pop up with a box that lets you select a program to upload photos. Once you choose that, you can choose to have them deleted from the memory stick as they're uploaded onto the computer, or leave them on the memory stick after uploading them. I HIGHLY suggest downloading Picasa Photo Editor. Not only does it make it easy to upload photos, its an excellent photo editor that you can download for free. Its not as advanced as an $80 photoshop program, but again, its free, and does a good job.

Thanks much! Good advise! It was/is very consternating for me to find straight forward instructions for the camera, like it was done in the 1980s, when I got my first computer.

If you don't have a screwdriver then you can't open the back cover. You have to have it. If you have it then unscrew and place your thumb on the back cover and move down your thumb with back cover it will open the back cover by sliding down the back.

Just turn the camera upside down. On the bottom you will see a rectangular slot for the cable.

The easiest way is to simply remove the SD card from the camera, plug it into the computer, and download the files from the card (if that's what you're asking).

Take the sd card out of the camera, simply, put it into your computer, everything will download on your computer, if you want to print a picture, simply click on the pic, right click, choose print

There's a USB built into side of camera just plug into your computer. Honestly though I find it easier just to pop my sd card out and upload that way bc usb is very difficult to get into the port on your computer

It comes with a USB cable which connects the camera to your computer. You can then download using Windows media or Google Picasa or some other software like Adobe lightroom

It has a cover that you have to pull open so you are able to use the camera
