Samsung Galaxy s2 Transfer of pictures

Options
Does anyone know how to transfer Pictures of my mobile phone to the Micro SD Memory card?

I assumed it would be a case of selecting picture and just a simple button to transfer, however appears more techinical.

If anyone could help as they are very important pictures to me and i'm worried they could be lost.

Thanks in advance

    you could also download the "dropbox" app to phone. Your photos are then synchronized automatically to an online storage for FREE! You can then view them on your PC easily too....
  • Thanks Ossie, I do have the DROPBOX app already which is great, but i want the pictures on my sd card for satisfaction knowing i have them there incase.

    Assuming it works the same way as the Galaxy Ace, to transfer files between phone and PC
    • plug the USB cable in
    • drag to open the top bar
    • click on 'USB Connected'
    • click on 'Connect storage to PC'
    • click OK

    The phone will now appear in Windows Explorer ("Computer") as a Removable Disk. For photos browse this new disk to find the DCIM folder. Within this is a Camera folder containing your photos. Copy/paste them to your pictures folder or wherever else you want them.
    How do I add a signature?

    Connect your Phone with USB lead to PC. Unlock your screen (if locked) Copy Phone DCIM/Camera photo to Card.....
  • Sorry i may not have made myself clear enough.

    I currently dont have a Micro SD memory card in my phone.
    Therefore every picture ive took is stored on the phone.

    I brought a micro SD card to fit in my phone and now want to move all the pictures from my phone memory to my Memory card

    Or download the app "file Manager" if you only wish to use phone to transfer.
  • They should automatically store to your micro SD card, mine do.
    If practice makes perfect, and nobody is perfect....................................
    Why practice!:T
