"How do I transfer Camera Images from my Phone?"
The easiest way to handle that is to connect your phone to your PC using a data cable (some cables are "charge only", and unless they are labeled so, there is no way to tell by looking at them).
Most phones use a "Micro B" type USB connector. Data cables for these are easily available at places like Staples, Target, Radio Shack, etc. Take your phone with you if you need to get a cable, and any good sales person will be able to help you.
Connect your phone to your PC with the cable. It probably needs to be "ON" to work, but may be not.
If your phone is on, (as I usually do), check the display after making the connection. Sometimes you get a prompt asking what kind of connection you want. Make the choice that allows data transfer.
When the proper connection is made, the phone will look like a flash (thumb) drive to your PC.
Open your File Manager utility. In MS Windows it is "Windows Explorer". Mac OS, Linux, etc., all have something similar.
Navigate to the folder (location / directory) with your images and COPY them to your PC. After you confirm the copy was successful, then go back and delete the images on your phone that you no longer need.
It is always better to copy. If a "MOVE" function is uses and something goes wrong (the power blinks for example), you could loose all or part of the data.
If you need more help you can also do a web search on something like...
The first hit there is from WikiHow.com, which I frequently find useful.
Have fun!
