Hi,

I'm away on business and brought my camera but the unfortunately the software that came with my camera is on my personal laptop rather than my work one which I have with me.

I was wondering if I could download drivers or software to allow me to copy the photos across in the absence of the original software?

The camera is a Canon Powershot A560

Any help would be much appreciated,

Roger
 
afaik you should be able to get drivers from Cannon's website.

A more straight forward way would be to just connect your camera to your laptop by usb cable (preferrable) or bluetooth and find your camera on the c: drive in my computer and open up the folder (s) and you should be able to drag n drop images onto your laptop.

Better still if your camera has a memory card and if you have a card reader then I would go that route.
 
What pudds said - your photos will usually be in the DCIM folder on the memory card
 
Darn -when I plug the cable from teh camera into teh PC I keep getting a message "USB Device Not Recognised" and can't locate the photos via the C drive.
