Yes, you will need a FireWire cable and a FireWire port installed on your computer.
You can read this tutorials on how to connect everything:

Check down below the link to see what a firewire is all about.
Check your canon's manual to see it it uses a firewire or a USB 2.0 cable.
If your Operational System is Windows XP, you shouldn't have problems having it detected, but if you still do, install the drivers that came with the camera.
Good luck!

Yeah you will most likely need Firewire, Firewire is more used than USB because the transfer is faster. My computer came with a firewire port but did not work properly so I had to buy a seperate card. there not expensive I paid I think 40$ Canadian for mine.

i think of the Elura and the ZR are older cameras. the older cameras do no longer immediately % out themselves whilst related to the firewire. via fact of that, your working device would not be conscious of what application it might open. attempt manually commencing abode windows action picture Maker or different video modifying application and see if that application recognizes a gadget related on the firewire and proceed with the import.
