How to remove pictures/videos from my iphone se 3rd ediion to folder on my pc

[learninmypc]

I googled the title, got this answer>
To remove photos and videos from an iPhone SE (3rd Gen) to a PC folder,
connect the iPhone via USB, unlock it, and tap "Trust" on the prompt. Open File Explorer on your PC, navigate to "This PC" > "Apple iPhone" > "Internal Storage" > "DCIM", then drag and drop the files to a computer folder.... Got to Internal storage, clicked on it & ONLY folders there. Redid the steps to make sure I clicked properly, I did so I COPIED ALL FOLDERS, clicked the SCISSORS icon because I wanted to REMOVE ALL pics from phone, pasted them in folder on desktop, once done, I checked folder, everything was there but STILL on phone. REPETED ENTIRE process to a different folder, still on phone, WHY??? Don't the scissors thing mean CUT, REMOVE???

Well, I ended up with 3 folders on my desktop & then having to delete 1000 plus pics & vids from my phone because evidently the damn scissors DON'T cut. ALL This crap to install iOS 26.4 which like MS gives us crap we do not need. Oh, it had to remove some apps to install the 26.4, it did reinstall them.. SUCH A PITA

Just buy a real camera an be done with it. Some dealers are practically giving away older DSLRs. Particularly mid range cameras like Nikon's D3xxx & D5xxx series .A great many of them are little used, "closet queens". with very low shutter counts. <(that's important).

I'm a Nikon guy, and I recommend either the D3300 & D3400, and especially the D5300 as being the sweet spot of those lines.

In which case, you would merely pull the SD card out of the camera, shove it into a reader in your computer, and copy the images to a folder.

And then, put the card back into the camera, do an easy menu dive to, "format", click "OK", and poof, they're gone.

In the meantime, can you set the image storage location on your phone? If so, place that location on a mini SD card. Then, use the same procedure I outlined above to transfer the photos.

Hell, for all I know about cellphones, (which is just about nothing), the "scissors" could be a crop tool.

Not really the point and phones have surpassed all of these options in video. Also the best camera is the one you have with you.

Ah a dying brand

You literally do this on an iPhone and that’s if it hasn’t already saved itself to your PC before you got to it. Or you’re not editing on your phone.

And then, put the card back into the camera, do an easy menu dive to, "format", click "OK", and poof, they're gone.

Again point?

Yeah you don’t. I use a standalone mirrorless camera sometimes but ultimately for 90% of cases and 100% of video a phone will do. Especially when you have to fork out a premium phone price for a dedicated camera and half decent glass and then have to spend time tinkering in software to touch them up becaure most camera JPEGs aren’t great.

Why not just select all, copy, select all, delete?

Would you believe I've been banned from a couple of sites for using the screen name "captaincranky". Nowadays, screen names like, "LordVile" are commonplace, yet at least as offensive. Once upon a time, I knew it all too. I also enjoyed heartily talking down to people, as apparently you do also. With that out of the way, let's get on with this....

Not really the point and phones have surpassed all of these options in video. Also the best camera is the one you have with you.

Here we have a slight difference of opinion. "The best camera", is the one you select to do the job intended. For me, that usually involves taking at least two bodies. Which includes everything from 8mm fisheye to 400mm tele-zooms. (I don't like screwing around changing lenses on the street). I get the biggest kick out of noobs with one body, and a backpack full of glass. There they are digging around, fiddling with lenses, and the shot they thought they wanted, is a distant memory. Hell, all you have to do is blink, or not have the camera already up to your eye to miss a shot.

Strangely enough, I just bought a Nikon D7500 on a whim, (it was on sale), and low and behold, it has 4K video. Not that I'll ever use it. I suppose I'm unmotivated, since I have no aspirations to become a YouTube "influencer"

You literally do this on an iPhone and that’s if it hasn’t already saved itself to your PC before you got to it. Or you’re not editing on your phone.

Well the newest cameras (At least in the past 12 years or so) have software to do exactly that. Try and keep up.

Yeah you don’t. I use a standalone mirrorless camera sometimes but ultimately for 90% of cases and 100% of video a phone will do. Especially when you have to fork out a premium phone price for a dedicated camera and half decent glass and then have to spend time tinkering in software to touch them up becaure most camera JPEGs aren’t great.

You're the one "forking out premium price". for camera bodies and "good glass". I'm suggesting older gear, that still take as good pictures as that mirrorless.

Anyway, post processing is half the fun, since you can achieve exactly what you want. At the end of the day, you're not taking the image, the phone is, and it's telling you what you should have seen. (In it's opinion.)

Just click the image and the site will display it full size.
I did cheat a bit with an 80 to 200 mm f2.8 zoom.

It's not too bad for a lowly Nikon D50 @ 6 Mp resolution, if I do say so myself.

 

[captaincranky]

Anyhoo, have some pity on an old man who has no need or use for one of those new fangled cell phoney devices. It would probably make me feel more important, they seem to have that affect on some people.

Which doesn’t matter if you have neither on you. Your option is now to spend twice as much on cameras than a phone. You can also have lenses like Fujis box of primes (Redbadge 16-55mm F2.8)

“4K” means quite literally nothing for cameras and you should know that.

Well the newest cameras (At least in the past 12 years or so) have software to do exactly that. Try and keep up.

Kinda but no. They hardly ever work and require you to be on home WiFi they don’t port over from in the instant you take them.

You're the one "forking out premium price". for camera bodies and "good glass". I'm suggesting older gear, that still take as good pictures as that mirrorless.

Which has fallen behind smartphones at this point.

If you have the time and want to shoot RAW which most people don’t.

Quite the opposite from buying new gear, I'm suggesting grabbing, "low mileage, one owner" used stuff. I can only speak to Nikon gear, since that's all I own. (I started with Canon 50+ years ago and went to Nikon, which many would say is bass ackwards).

If you simply must have IBIS, eye detect AF, and 4K 60p, then by all means, empty your wallet.

I have a closet full of Nikon bodies and glass. A few are "souvenirs" at this point. D3000, D5100, D3100, & an FM-2 film.

OTOH, I have quite a few that are still quite useful. One body, a D5200 is going out for infrared conversion, I just haven't decided what filter I want in it yet. I should email Lifepixel and ask if they'll give me a "toofa" price, and get a 850 nm B & W, and another body at 665 nm for color

A lot of the D3xxx & D5xxx bodies are "closet queens", <10K shutter counts. The D5200s are going for about $200.00. With fully articulating screens, you can even pepper the internet with "selfies". Assuming of course, you're capable of holding that, "big heavy camera", at arm's length. With an older 18 to 70 mm f3.5 to f4.5 (about $75.00), for under $300.00 you've got a pretty much does it all rig.

As for cellphones, they are great for spur of the moment news events and snapshots. Trouble there is, I wasn't anywhere near Minneapolis to catch the ICE murders. I never seem to be next to the latest 4 alarm fire or oil refinery explosion either..Although I have seen some portrait orientation "erotic art", obviously done with a phone.

As for the D7500's "1.5 times crop" the a**holes on the web are pointing out, of course it crops, seeing as the camera's resolution is 5,568 x 3172. You're still getting one pixel for every dot in 4K.= (3840 x 2160) Oh and BTW the aspect ratio is different as well. It's 3:2 for full frame, APS-C, and 35 MM film, versus 16:9 commercial broadcast standard.

That 100 MP phone resolution is advertising hype as well. They're pushing 4 pixels into 1, and then giving that the Jpeg treatment. The same way, but in reverse, your TV scales 1080p to 4K. At a 4:1 ratio there's no pixel dithering involved.
