Canon rebel XS batttery Issues

I dont use camera that often. That being said I havent used my camera much. may be I have taken 2K pics at most in th epast 1 year. But I started having issues with the battery that came with Canon very soon after owning the camera. I thought may be battery is becoming weak so I ordered a new one. Now new one worked fine for some timee and now that also loses charge even after taking like 20 pics. I will see green light or full battery indicator on the camera screen and next thing I see is that it has red light.
Battery charger - When I put the batttery for charging the red light stays on for 20 secs and than goes away. Should I see the light indicator on charger at all times or ust at the begining. And ofcourse even after putting it to charge, it wont charge.
I am going crazy. Please help if anyone had similar issues. I am not able to pin point the issue. Thanks so much.

I think it's got to do with the charger and not the batteries, based on what you described. It's a case of the battery charger lying to you that a battery has been fully charged when it's not. This happened to me with my Canon 50D charger. I'd stick a battery in then it would charge it for about 5 mins then the light goes green but in fact the battery is near empty. I would remove replace a couple times before it would properly charge. It happens a lot more often with after market batteries but it would do the same for genuine Canon batteries too. It gets to a point that I make sure the battery is being charged for at least an hour otherwise remove replace until it does. I haven't tried cleaning the contacts with an eraser but that's a good idea...

Windows 7 64 bit canon rebel xti compatibility issue

I am having trouble to get my canon rebel xti (400D) to work under windows 7 64 bit. You see the canon camera icon in the devices and printers window with a yellow triangle indicating it's not working properly. Did anyone have the same issue and even got an answer to it?
Thanks.

I believe I have a solution for you and any other XTi owners who don't have the "Print/PTP" option in their menu. I was able to get my XTi to function with Windows 7 64-bit last night. Here is what I did:
1) Installed the default Canon utilities disk that came with the camera (which installed without an issue, but wouldn't recognize the camera).
2) I downloaded the updated EOS Utility version 2.6.1 for Windows Vista x64 from here:http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDetailTabAct&fcategoryid=314&modelid=14256
3) I installed the default Canon utilities disk that came with the camera (which installed and opened without an issue, but wouldn't recognize the camera to download pictures).
4) I executed the 2.6.1 EOS Utility update that I downloaded and received the following error: "Installation program of EOS Utility requires administrator priveleges" even though it was being run as an administrator. Any compatibility options that I selected on the installation resulted in the same error.
5) When you receive the error mentioned in the prior step, DON'T click the "OK" button. First, navigate to the follwing path: "C:\Users\admin-user\AppData\Local\Temp\". Inside this directory, you should see a directory named something like "CanonUPW_000". Copy this whole directory to another location, then click "OK" on the installation program error on the screen (which removes the directory you just copied).
6) Open the directory that you copied in the last step and navigate to the following location: ".\CanonUPW_000\INST\INSTALL\COMMON". You should find an "Install.exe" file in this directory.
7) Open the properties of this "Install.exe" file, then select the "Compatibility" tab.
8) Select the "Change settings for all users" button and select the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3).
9) Under the "Privilege Level" section, select the "Run this program as an administrator", then click OK twice.
10) Execute the "Install.exe" file. The installation should start and finish succeffully.
11) The EOS Utility should successfully open after you execute it (following the installation).
12) The only thing that doesn't work exactly the same as with using EOS Utility with XP. When you plug your camera in, the program doesn't automatically open. After opening the EOS Utility, you can connect the camera and download pictures, or utilize the software's remote control function.
I hope this works as well for you as it did for me.

Updated to latest ACR 6.6 but still can't open CR2 files from Canon Rebel XSi

I updated to latest version of Adobe Camera Raw 6.6 but still can't seem to open my CR2 files in Photoshop. Can't open them in Lightroom either, no preview in Bridge or OS.
I'm running OS 10.7.2 and Photshop 12.1 x 64 which is CS5.1 I suppose.
I've downloaded Canon's EOS utility hoping that would somehow do something as well but nothing.
The images were shot on Canon Rebel XSi which is certainly supported by the newest version of ACR. So I have no clue as to what's happening... I previously downloaded these images onto my old laptop about a year ago and everything was fine, however now I'm not even getting a preview in OS. Do I have to revert to an older version of ACR (perhaps the same one I used originally?) to open these files again? These files have been stored on a hard drive, so I'm not downloading them directly from the camera-again, this probably has nothing to do with it but not sure what to do. A lot of the posts I've seen recommend downloading the latest version of ACR to fix the issue, but again I've done that and as a matter of fact the camera (Rebel XSi) has been supported for some time now...
In OS, when the image is selected no preview:
Lightroom error:
Bridge, no preview:
Photoshop error:
Ideas, suggestions?

Please help.
Thanks in advance,

Something appears to be wrong with your files.
Are most of your images approx. 3.7 MB?
This is very small for a 12 MP image.
If you go back to the original file on your laptop, what is the file size?
Also the fact that the Mac OS is not showing the preview is unusual.
Perhaps these files got corrupted when they were moved to your new computer.
Can you open these files OK on your old laptop?
Is the OS showing the previews on your old laptop?
Also compare the file sizes between old and new computer.
Have you tried repairing your permissions?
Try Disk Utility in your Macs Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility to see if this helps.
Good Luck!

Lightroom 1.4.1 won't read RAW or RAW+JPEG from Canon Rebel Xsi

I use Windows. I started with LIghtroom 1. Technical support said Lightroom 1.4.1 update would let allow me to import RAW and RAW+JPEG files from Canon Rebel Xsi into Lightroom. I downloaded the update. Lightroom still will not recognize RAW or JPEG+RAW photos taken with my Canon Rebel Xsi. Lightroom will read straight JPEG photos taken with this camera. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this (e.g. be able to import RAW and RAW+JPEG files)? Sorry if there is a simple thing to fix to this or if I could have found the solution somewhere else on this site. I am a Lightroom novice and have been struggling with this issue for some time now. Thanks in Advance.

Thanks everyone for all your help! I am now able to import the RAW files. Steve and Don especially thanks so much! I am posting my solution in case someone out there has had the same problem.
In the past, using the prompt generated from within LR, I downloaded the update and ran the install. However using Don's information I realized the splash screen indicated 1.1 and the number did not match the build # provided by Don.
Based on this information, I went to the Adobe site, reran the download via the Adobe site (not LR) and reran the install. Of note, this install process gave different screens from when I ran install from the files downloaded accessed via the LR prompt. The biggest difference is that this time I got Adobe directions for how to execute the update. I next confirmed that I had the update files on the hard drive, opened the file as directed by Adobe and the install updated. However I was still getting the LR 1.1 splash screen.
Based on information posted elsewhere, I determined that I needed to delete the LR icon from my desktop. I moved "LR 1.4.1" from the start menu to the desktop. I now launch LR 1.4.1 when I hit the LR icon and I have successfully downloaded a boatload of RAW files. Thanks All! You are geniuses!

Can't import from Canon Rebel into Yosemite iPhoto.

Updated to Yosemite 10.10, iPhoto 9.6, which recognizes my Canon Rebel T5i and shows a video but won't import because "there's a problem downloading" which tells me nothing. Any ideas?

I had posted this issue in multiple spots so I'll answer in general and paste everywhere for others to learn what's taken me hours to figure out. I've spent nearly a work day dealing with his issue, needed the video for a work project. Anyway, short answer to a known problem, call Canon (or your camera manufacturer).
Turned out my video wasn't corrupt. I had to take the card out of the camera and insert into Mac's SD slot (which is a card reader so you could go the USB card reader route) and imported directly into iMovie. Downloading into iPhoto, Image Capture and even dragging onto my Desktop still wouldn't work for some unknown reason (probably related to my old laptop) but I was able to finally import the video as a .mov file directly from the card.
For newer Canon cameras, there is no communication setting of Normal and PTP in the menu settings as both the Canon rep and another commenter reported. The Canon rep said they are updating their utility to Yosemite OS 10.10, that it wouldn't take 6 months but he couldn't commit a timeframe. You don't need the camera software anyway if you're tethering and importing into iPhoto.
Seems the easiest solution is inserting card into computer SD slot or using a USB tethered card reader. Hope this helps save others some aggravation although I've learned my lesson about early adoption and "upgrading" to new Apple OS. If it ain't broke.....wait, then wait some more.

I have a canon rebel t3, i dropped it and the battery door fell out. Is it possible for it to work

So basically I have a canon rebel t3, I recently dropped it(not that hard) and the battery/memory door broke of. I put it back and it worked except I don't think it 100 percent worked. My camera haven't been working since that day. I'm not sure if ive seen the camera battery door inside the battery I can see the inside to where you connect the door kind of chipped. I tried to put it back in and unexspectdly the little part of the camera's battery door chipped. Is there any possible way for the camera to work without the battery door? will i have to get it repaired at a store for money? can there be any home-treatment i could do? THANKs

Sorry! But it needs to be reapired by a service center. There may be other issues inside you are not seeing right now and in the long run it will never be dependable until it is checked out. Caneras don't like being droped, even a little, and they don't like being wet. Two, no-no's.

Canon Rebel Xti/400D Will not download Photos

I have a canon Rebel XTi/400D . Up until recently I had no Problem downloading photos from the camera onto the MacBook. I recently downloaded an update OS 10.8.3 and can no longer download the photos .

testdepth wrote:
Here is why my Canon camera died. There was a loose piece I could hear rattling around inside the camera body so I disassembled the body in order to open the body and see what fell out. When I opened the bottom of the body a small silver screw fell out of the body. Apparently this happens to be a problem with this model and maybe others. A screw from the motherboard backs itself out and rolls around inside the camera body shorting out the DC/DC power board and blowing the fuse labeled "P" on the power board. When I placed a meter across this fuse it reads infinity instead of a normal dead short.
How does a screw located inside of a camera body unscrew itself. This is not a software issue or a failed electronics issue and this camera would still be working rihgt now if the screw had not backed out and shorted out my camera. Canon's answer is of course that they no longer service this camera.
It sounds as though you have two options:
1) Admit that it's time for an upgrade and take advantage of Canon's "Loyalty Program" to get a new camera at a good price. The XTi was a pretty decent camera in its day (my wife and I each had one), but more recent Rebels are far better. My wife's current camera, a T2i, is a major improvement, and there have been several new models since.
2) Since you're obviously not a newbie, try to do the repair yourself. Look around for an XTi that still turns on, but has a cracked sensor, worn-out shutter, or other fatal flaw (such a camera should be available for a pittance), and re-use its power board. You have nothing to lose but a few hours of your time.

Canon Rebel T3i flash error

I am on my second Canon Rebel T3i. Out of the blue I get the Err 05 that the flash can not be raised. I turn it off and back on like it says but that doesn't help. Same thing happened with my first one only a month after I had it. This camera is less than a year old and doing this. Why? Do I have to send it away to be fixed?

There was an issue where the camera thinks an external flash is connected. You can check under the metal brackets where a shoe-bracket flash would go to see if the little button is being pushed down and blow some compressed air over it. If that doesn't help, you'll probably need to send it in for a defective flash release.
Although I do work for the Geek Squad, all comments and opinions are my own.

IPhoto CRASHES when I try ti import short video shot with my Canon Rebel..HELP!!!

HELP! I have a Canon Rebel EOS T3i. I shoot many wonderful still pixs. I have also shot some video (movies) during recent cruise which I was able to download and edit properly and include it in my overall Cruise Album.
I have been editing all this on iMovie,importing the photos, videos, adding titles, effexs. etc. Suddenly -TODAY- iPhoto is not letting me shoot an additional short video to include in the Album. When I IMPORT the video from the Canon into iPhoto, and click PLAY, iPhoto CRASHES! Something is wrong and I don't know what it is.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on eight different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

Iphoto quit working with Canon Rebel T4i

Greetings,
I am running a late 2009 Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.8 with Iphoto 8.1.2. My go to camera is a Canon Rebel T4i and I shoot in Raw almost without exception. File format is .cr2. I have been able to import my Raw photos without issue for several months until today when I received an error message from Iphoto informing me that the photos I wished to transfer were in an incompatible format and could not be imported. I can clearly see the pictures I want to import in iphoto so the program is at least able to generate a preview but it will not import giving me the above mentioned error message. What am I missing and what can be done to correct this short of updating my entire operating system and iphoto? What can I say, I like Snow Leopard.

Used Image Capture and a card reader still to no avail even with preview. Here are screens of the error messages and views I am getting. They may hold a clue:

PSE7.0 displays some canon rebel xsi raw camera files garbled

Greetings,
I have PSE7.0 running on Vista SP1. I have upgraded the raw file plugin to version 5.2 but still some files display with garbled output. Needless to say Canon provided software is able to view it correctly. Similarly the camera displays it correctly. My camera is Canon Rebel XSi.
Please let me know what I can do to solve this issue.
Thanks.

First, verify that you installed ACR 5.2 correctly by doing Help > System Info in the editor and scrolling down to Camera Raw -- does it show version 5.2?

Camera Showing "Busy" When Tethering (Canon Rebel XT)

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to tethering and such, but I thought I would give it a go. The problem I seem to be having is that the camera is flashing "Busy" on the display and wont let me take any photos. I am trying to tether my Canon Rebel XT to Aperture 3.1 on my Mac Pro running 10.6.4. The firmware version on the camera seems to be 1.0.2 (although I have no idea how to update that should that be the issue).
Any help would be great! Thanks!
Phil

Change your communication settings within the camera to normal (not PTP). To access the settings from the camera itself, select Menu and then tab along until you see communications, then select normal from the options.

I am trying to download pictures from my canon rebel eos to my Ipad but i get the message "this device is not supported" what can I do ?

I just bought an Apple Lighting to USB Camera Adapter. When I got home to and connected it to my Canon Rebel EOS Digital Camera. I received the error message "This device is not supported" I was wondering if there is any software or drivers I need to download?
Thanks
Don

I use Canon Cameras and have no problems downloading photos from the camera to the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter. My questions and suggestions might be basic but just to make sure:
1. This is an iPad forum area. Are you using the lightning to USB camera adapter with an iPad? Your info in your original post says iPod. I'm not sure that the adapter works with an iPod.
2. After you connect the adapter to your iPad and then use a USB cable to connect the adapter to the camera did you turn on the camera?
3. If you did turn on the camera and still did not get the import of photos to start try a reset your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. This will not cause any data loss.

CR2 files from Canon Rebel XSi won't open in CS2

Ok, so I have a powerbook G4 with Tiger Mac OS X and CS2 student version. I am basically computer illiterate so feel free to state the obvious here.
I bought a new Canon Rebel XSi and have been shooting raw CR2 files. I have done this in the past with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and never had a problem... now the error window pops up saying my file is unrecognizable. I did the only things I know how to do which was to check for updates and verify permissions in disc utility - this did not help.
Still thinking it was my computer or the software I backed everything up and wiped the hard drive clean by erasing and reinstalling the original discs and then reloading CS2 and again doing all of the updates - this did not help.
I have spent 3 days reading in these forums and trying to clear caches and download DNG's (by the directions into the right library) and still it does not work. I even downloaded trial versions of CS3 and CS4.
Now I'm sure my computer is a downloaded mess and I still have no access to my raw files!
Please Please Please help me!

You're welcome, Nikki.
 
 >what do you do with the paper with a hard drive icon on it when you download something?
 
 I assume you mean the
disc image file with a ".dmg" extension.
 
 Personally I keep any such disc image file if its contents prove successful and discard it when a new version comes along that also proves to work OK. Otherwise, I delete them right away. It's your choice. I prefer to have the dmg file around in case I have to install its contents again for whatever reason without having to download it again.
 
 That being said, I don't keep anything on my desktop,
ever. I download everything to a "Downloads" folder inside my Documents folder.
 
 Here's what my desktop looks like all the time:
