Just landed myself a basic SP3 for Xmas

[Ilias]

Hey all,

Just landed myself this fab device. My wife thought it would come in quite useful when on vacation in Hawaii.

I have Photoshop and Lightroom added to the device for quick adjustments if required.

I just have a couple of questions, as I am not that tech savvy, so I hope all you good people can assist this old fella.

I love photography and recently purchased myself a Fuji xt1.

What is the best way to transfer raw images from camera or SD to the SP3. In asking that, as this is only the basic model, I need to expand storage. What is better, a micro SD or portable HDD.

I wait in anticipation.

Cheers
Ilias

Welcome.

Best way to transfer images... depends on which version you have
http://app.fujifilm-dsc.com/en/
It supports Wireless transfer or Wired via USB... (Hey, is that a USB... yep its got a USB).
looks like it wants to use the Finepix Studio App from the User Manual and it appears to be an App with benefits if you're into that sort of thing. um, Posting to Facebook etc.

MicroSD card for extra storage would be more convenient but it depends on how much space you really need for pictures & movies.

Get a 64 or 128 GB Class 10 MicroSD Card (Sandisk is on sale on Amazon today only), use the USB Cable and Windows Photo Import and copy them over to the drive no App should be needed...

Thanks... have not checked, but is there a USB cable that comes with sp3?

I use USB card readers for all my cameras and import into Adobe Lightroom.

Thanks.... I have never had to use a card reader b4...My only issue is that I have the i3 64gb and space is limited...I have used Photoshop, but have never used adobe Lightfoot... so I guess all of this is a steep learning curve for an old fella like me.

Not sure if the camera came with one, but it has a Micro USB Connector built into the camera and most non-fruit smartphones use those for charging/syncing to PCs....

If you plug the camera in, it should come up with a dialog box, and will import it using the default photo application.

Thanks... no the camera did not come with a cable... guess I gotta buy one soon... gotta laugh too as I don't know what non fruit is?

Cheers

The cables are pretty standard. Just buy one. I personally like card readers.
