Taking Pictures from a Digital Camera

The Scanner And Camera Wizard guides you through the process of taking pictures from a video camera or digital still camera. A digital video camera displays live or recorded digital video, which is higher in quality than nondigital. With the Scanner And Camera Wizard, you can capture digital snap shots or view those that you have taken already and save them in a folder on your computer, view device properties, delete pictures from your camera, or print photos. In order to use the digital camera features of Windows XP, you need to have a digital still or video camera attached and installed on your computer.
