Checking SD cards

[Thess87]

How does everyone check there SD cards? I still use these for turkeys. I get so frustrated with my computer not loading them fast enough. Is it my computer or is there a better way? Ideally I’d like to be able to just hold the arrow down and get through them quickly. I’ve dealt with it for years but I’m tired of it.

I have an adapter for my iPhone. I check it, save the pics I want to my phone photos, and then clear the card before putting it back in.

I use an amazon IPhone adapter. Then I sort through the photos on my phone before only putting the ones I’ll keep in my computer.

I bought a new computer for that reason 2 years ago. Fixed the problem for me. I tried the phone but liked a full screen better.

I swap out the cards and view them on a computer. Generally, if there are a lot of pics to view, I set the display to "extra large icons," and scroll through looking at just one pic location on the screen. By scrolling I can pick up motion and know there is something to look at even if I can't see it that well. Then I might open the individual pic to view better. This only works because I have my cameras set to take a 9 pic series every time motion is detected. I only look at all the individual pics if there are a smaller number, less than 250 maybe, because the computer doesn't load them as fast as I want to view them. Another option is to set your cameras up for a lower resolution so the files are smaller and can load faster.

One thing that slows me down is that viewing the pics almost always brings on nap time, right there in the chair. I don't know a fix for that.
