Absolutely agree with John:
Removing the card and inserting it directly into the computer is simpler, has faster download and does not use your camera battery.
Procedure:
Turn the camera off, and remove the card
Insert into either an internal card reader or USB connected one - the card should be seen as an external drive by your File Manager
Use the normal procedure to copy the files from the DCIM folder to a suitable location on your hard disc
When you have confirmed that the files are on the computer, use the Eject command in File Manager to disconnect the card from the system - don't just pull it out. If there are still active connections you could corrupt your card - this actually applies to any external storage device. You will get an advisory that it is OK
Remove the card and re-insert into the camera
Format the card in the camera (don't delete files, it creates accumulating file errors and can eventually corrupt your card)
You're good to go! 😊
I hope this helps
cheers, TREVOR
