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.

(If iPhoto and iMovie intrigue or baffle you, entire Missing Manuals await you on those topics. Just sayin’.)
