1. Preparing Your Mac and Canon Camera
Before you can import your precious photos from your Canon camera to your Mac, you need to make sure both devices are ready and properly connected. Follow these steps:
1. Connect your Canon camera to your Mac using a USB cable.
2. Turn on your Canon camera and set it to the "Viewing" or "Play" mode so that your Mac can detect it as a storage device.

6. Click on the "Import X Selected" button to begin importing the selected photos to your Mac. The Photos app will display a progress bar indicating the import status.
7. Once the import is complete, you can choose to keep or delete the imported photos from your camera.
That's it! Your Canon camera photos are now successfully imported to your Mac using the macOS Photos app.
3. Using Image Capture
