USING A CARD READER |
Hetman Photo Recovery works with
all types of cameras and memory cards. If you cannot find
your camera in the list of disks, use a card reader to connect
your camera's memory card. |

A card reader is a device intended
for reading data from memory cards of various types.
Any photographer will admit that a card reader is
an extremely valuable asset for working with various
memory cards, as this device greatly facilitates any
operations with them, increases read/write speeds
and, most importantly, helps avoid a number of problems.
The most popular type of card readers is a multi-format
card reader, which supports multiple memory card formats
at the same time.
Some advantages of using card readers:
 Data transfer speeds are manifold higher;
There is no need to download and install drivers for all of
your devices;
The device is easy to use - even a child can do it;
Many card readers can write data from your computer to memory
cards. |

The main differences of card readers:
All card readers can be divided into external (separate devices
connected to your computer with a cable) and internal (built
into your chassis). If you take a closer look at the assortment
of card readers available on the market, you will see that
internal 3.5" devices are not so easy to find, whereas external
devices are sold in plenty. Despite the fact that an internal
card reader won't take any space on your table, it has a serious
disadvantage: most modern computer cases have a single 3.5"
slot, which is usually taken by a floppy drive. If you opt
for an external card reader, you won't have to get inside
your computer to install the device - all you need to do is
to connect the card reader using a USB cable.
How
to use a card reader?
As a rule, each card reader is supplied with a user manual
and a disk with the necessary software. Simply put, all you
need to do is: take the card reader, plug one end of the cable
into the device and the other one into any free USB port of
your computer. The computer will detect the card reader automatically
and will assign one or more logical drives to it - you will
see them in Windows Explorer. As soon as you install a memory
card into your card reader, you can use it as a regular disk.
After you have installed your card reader and inserted a memory
card, restart Hetman Photo Recovery. |
