Help me with iphoto

[CloudOnMyTongue 0]

So I have a digital video camcorder (sony hc40)
and it takes stills and puts them on the memory card.
How do I import these stills into iphoto? When I connect the camera to the computer it doesn't do anything when iphoto is open.

Did you click on import in the bottom tool bar? After the camera is attached to the computer and turned on (the camera)?

That's all I have to do. Though, it does take a few seconds for iPhoto to recognize the camera.

Hope this helps!

Did you connect it through the USB connection or the Firewire connection? To get stills off the memory stick into iPhoto you have to use the USB connection on the camcorder.

If this doesn't help ya, let me know and we'll figure it out.

You may have to use Image Capture. It should be in your applications folder. Try it out.

Does the camera mount as a disk on your desktop when you plug it in? If it does you should be able to drag the images off the disk to your desktop...then you can drag them into iPhoto.

Thanks for your help.

I was using firewire, and iphoto wasn't reading the camera. The second I use the usb cord everything worked out fine.
