MS Office Picture Manager is pretty much a viewer with a couple of simple editing features. What you see in the main pane is the
picture content of a particular folder.
If,when you plug your camera in, it appears in My Computer as a 'disk' then you could, in MS Office Picture Manager, use
File=>Locate Pictures and point to the camera drive, but that wouldn't bring them into the application. Usually if you plug in the
camera either the MS Windows app for transferring pictures will popup and ask if you want to copy them to a folder on your PC (as
one option), or a 3rd party handling package will be doing a similar request.
Once the pictures are on your computer's hard drive you can use MS Office Picture Manager for viewing them and minor editing.
