What you need
Steps
Turn the camera off, then open the side port cover and plug the USB-C cable into the camera's USB port.
Plug the other end of the cable into a USB port on your PC or laptop.
Turn the camera on. On the camera screen, choose Mass Storage when the USB connection prompt appears.
Open File Explorer on Windows. Your camera appears as a new drive under This PC.
Open the camera drive, then the DCIM folder. Your photos and videos sit inside dated subfolders.
Select the files or folders you want, right-click and choose Copy.
Open a folder on your laptop, right-click and choose Paste. Wait for the copy to finish.
Check that the file count matches, then right-click the camera drive and choose Eject before unplugging the cable.
For the SD card method, turn the camera off, take out the SD card and put it in a card reader plugged into your laptop.
Open the card in File Explorer, copy the DCIM folder to your laptop, then eject the card reader and put the card back in the camera.
Tips and common mistakes
Use a data-capable USB cable, since some charge-only cables will not show the camera on your laptop.
Copy files instead of cutting them so the originals stay on the card until you confirm the transfer worked.
Keep the camera battery charged or use the AC adapter during long transfers to avoid a cut-off midway.
Format the card in the camera after backing up, not on the computer, to keep it working smoothly.
Questions
Why does my laptop not show the Sony ZV-E10 when I plug it in?
Try another USB port and a different cable, and make sure you picked Mass Storage on the camera screen. A charge-only cable is the most common cause.
Should I use the USB cable or an SD card reader?
A card reader is usually faster for large video files. The USB cable is fine for a few photos and needs no extra gear.
Will transferring files delete them from the camera?
No, copying leaves the originals on the card. Delete them in the camera only after you have checked the copies on your laptop.
