The LG Dare comes with a 3.2-megapixel camera you can use to take pictures. Photos are stored on a microSD card. You can upload the photos to your computer or a website. Uploading photos to your computer requires a microSD card reader or a Bluetooth adapter. You can also upload pictures to a website or blog by sending the pictures as multimedia messages.

Using a microSD Card Reader

Step 1

Connect the microSD card reader to your computer's USB port. If Windows does not automatically install the necessary driver, insert the installation disc that came with the card reader into your computer's disc drive and install the software.

Step 2

Insert the microSD card into your card reader. Windows should ask you what action to take. Select the option to view the files on the card.

Step 3

Locate the card's files manually if Windows doesn't open the files automatically. From the Start menu, click "My Computer" and double-click the microSD card's drive letter.

Step 4

Move or copy the pictures to your computer to complete the upload process.

Using Bluetooth

Step 1

Open the "Bluetooth Menu" on your LG Dare to begin establishing a new Bluetooth pairing. The "Bluetooth Menu" is in the "Settings & Tools" section.

Step 2

Select "Add" to create a new Bluetooth connection, turn the Bluetooth power on if needed and touch "Start" to search for available Bluetooth connections.

Step 3

Select your computer's Bluetooth adapter from the list once the LG recognizes it. Enter the passcode for your adapter.

Step 4

Choose whether the LG Dare should "Always Connect" to the Bluetooth device or "Always Ask" you before connecting.

Step 5

Open the "My Pictures" application on your LG Dare. The application is in the "Media Center."

Step 6

Touch a picture and select the option to send the photo via Bluetooth. Your phone must be within 30 feet of the computer's adapter.

Using a Multimedia Message

Step 1

Open the "My Pictures" application on your LG Dare. The application is in the "Media Center."

Step 2

Touch a picture. Select the option to send the photo via "Picture Msg" to create a multimedia message with the picture attached.

Step 3

Enter the address to which you want to send the picture. You can select an address from your Contacts or Favorites list, use the keypad to enter the address manually or select "Blog" to use the VZ Online Album.

Step 4

Send the multimedia message.
