Your digital camera came with a cable and a software , plug the cable " it's a usb cable" to your computer ,now the software " which should have been installed before " will detect the camera and starts to download the pictures.
if you don't have the software you may download this free software from google , as they say it's what should have come with your digital camera , here is the link to the FREE software :

If you get a card reader, no additional software is necessary. This is not only faster, but it saves your camera batteries. Your computer or printer may even have a card reader built into it. I have enough USB ports that I just leave it plugged in all the time.
First of all, be sure there are some pictures on the card. Plug the card reader into an open USB port. Plug the card into the appropriate slot on your card reader. I use Photoshop Elements and as soon as I plug my card into the reader, it starts its own card reader and displays a thumbnail of every picture on the card.
If this does not happen automatically, open your photo editing software. Do whatever you usually do to open a file, but click on the selector where you can change drives. Your card reader will be assigned a new drive name that will be one letter higher than you ever saw before, such as "Drive G:" or such. Then, just double click on the name of the file you want to open and it will appear in your photo editor.

You don't! With new cameras you need to UPLOAD the pictures to your computer. Whatever you do, don't read the directions that came with the camera or tell anyone what kind of camera is so that they could help you! Make sure that you ask general questions that no one can possibly answer. Don't let anyone know any particulars, like I have a USB cable or any other useful information.

Your camera would have come with a USB cable. Connect the cable to the camera and to the USB socket in your computer/ laptop. if the camera is on, Windows/mac will auto detect and ask you if you want to download the pictures.
If you dont have the cable, but if you have a removable memory card in your camera, and the same memory slot on your laptop, you should try the same thing - remove it from the camera and insert it into the laptop - Windows/Mac will detect it, or your irritating photo file handling application will. Either way you can download it.

Most digital camera's come with wires and software to do this. Read the book .
