What kind of computer?

For an Apple, just plug it in.

You can check to see if your computer has a card reader.

Hi and welcome to the forum:

If you have a computer with an SD card reader you don't need software.

Follow this procedure - it is the fastest and more reliable method:

Shut the camera down and remove the SD card
Place said card in a SD card reader, either built-in to your computer or via a USB port. When the card is connected, it should be seen as a removable drive by your file manager.
Access the card, and the folder DCIM, that is where your images are.
Select all the images and copy them across to a location on your computer's hard disc, just as you would any other files.
After checking the files are all there, remove the card (for WIndows machines, you should use the Eject feature which you access by RIGHT+CLICK on the SD card icon).
Return the card to your camera
Turn it on and format the card clean using the camera's Format command.

Here are the Basic and Advanced User Guides for your camera:

You can download from the memory card two ways:

1. Connecting camera to computer with a USB A-MiniB cable. The camera will (should) appear in Windows File Explorer or Mac and Linux desktops. Open it, open DCIM, and move the files.

2. Take the memory card reader out and put it in a USB card reader. Plug it into the computer and open it.
