Transferring movies from Finepix f31fd

Not strictly an iPhoto query but I couldn't find another suitable forum.

My Fuji Finepix f31fd does not appear as a mass storage device on my desktop so, although I can import photos using iPhoto, I don't know how I can copy movies from the camera to my Mac.

(My previous camera was a Finepix f10 which did appear as a USB storage device so I could just drag and drop the movie files.)

The Fuji website isn't much help so I'm trying here!

Thanks,

Robin.

Robin,

You have 2 choices. The first is to open Image Capture (in your Applications folder). It should see your camera and give you the option to "import some." You can then navigate to your video clips and upload them to a folder on your desktop. Once on your desktop, import them into iPhoto and see if it can handle them. Or keep them out of iPhoto and store them in your Movies folder.

The other option is to use a card reader, which connects to your Mac via USB. This will mount on the desktop like your previous camera, and allows you to navigate the card from within iPhoto to select photos and movies to import. I use a card reader all the time, as it saves on the camera's batteries and makes importing easy.
