The simplest, fastest and most reliable method is to use an SD card reader attached to a computer.
The process is:
1. Turn off the camera and remove the card
2. Place the card into an SD card reader attached to your computer. The computer file manager should recognize it as a removeable drive
3. Go to the DCIM folder and use Ctrl+A to select all files, and Ctrl+C to copy them
4. Go to whatever folder you desire on your PC hard disc and press Ctrl+V to paste the files
5. Confirm all files have been copied
6. Right+Click on the icon for the SD card and select EJECT from the pop-up menu. The computer will break its connection with the card. If it cannot, it will generate a warning message. Don't remove the card until you have resolved this - usually an app needs to be closed, in very extreme cases a reboot.
7. Remove the card and return it to the camera
8. Using the camera's format command, format the card(s) clean.
This is the most reliable and fastest method of transferring files.
