3. IMPORT IMAGES MANUALLY COPIED FROM CAMERA TO DISK (Using DohertyBrowser software)

<For cases where images were manually copied from the camera, rather than automatically downloaded using the DohertyBrowser. This will read the images from a specified location that is treated as if it were the camera plugged into your computer, and copy the images to the “PC Destination:” location.

  • Optionally, you can choose where to store the re-structured image directory too. After step 6, and before step 7, click "Browse" beside "PC Destination:", and then navigate to the desired location.
  • If you wish, you can set the browser to not delete the images from your source file structure/directory. Open the “C:\AidenDoherty\DohertyBrowser\SenseCamBrowser1.exe.config” file, and edit the ” line. The value 1 means the source images will be deleted, the value 0 means they will not be deleted.
