Digital Cameras

Like Windows, OS X is extremely camera-friendly. The simple act of connecting a digital camera to its USB cable stirs OS X into action—namely, it opens iPhoto, Apple’s digital-photo shoebox program.

If it’s a digital video camera you plugged in, OS X opens iMovie instead. (Both of these programs are described in this book’s free 85-page iLife Appendix, which you can download from this book’s “Missing CD” at www.missingmanuals.com.)
