Aperture not showing ISO Metadata for the Canon SD800

I normally use Aperture with my Nikon D200, but someone gave me a Canon SD800 for Xmas, which is a great little point and shoot camera for times when my D200 is overkill.
I notice, however, that the ISO field in Aperture is always blank for imported SD800 images. Focal length, shutter speed, aperture, etc. are not blank.
I always used a fixed ISO, not auto, so I am curious why Aperture is not registering the ISO settings on the shots. Any thoughts?

I ran into the same problem with my PowerShot S3 IS, so I wrote a shell script that "fixes" these Exif values by backfilling them with data from the Canon MakerNote information. You'll need the EXIFutils package installed, but these scripts provide a pretty simple front-end to fill the ISO and Focal Length (35mm) Exif fields automatically (if possible). It works with my S3 IS, and will probably work for your SD800 as well. The only caveat about the Canon ISO values is that the Auto and High ISO Auto values do not store the actual ISO value chosen by the camera; so, make sure you're manually choosing your ISO value.
My shell script can be found at: http://www.sharpfocusmedia.com/Software/BA7C9878-6364-4FDE-AF72-021A89EFC7B1.htm l

  • Lightroom 3 does NOT support raw files for the  Canon Sureshot S95

    Have just bought the new Canon Sureshot S95
    after contacting Adobe support I am told Lightroom 3 does NOT support raw files for the
    Canon Sureshot S95.
    Come on Adobe.....please provide an update asap.

    (1) Well Boss I did what you said and used Canon DPP to convert to TIFFs. Choices are 8-bit TIFF or 16-bit TIFF - I chose 16-bit because part (90% part) of the reason for wanting to work in RAW is to keep the bit depth of teh original. On my EOS 40D it is supposedly 14 bits, which gives great scope to play with the levels & curves without seeing poster effects. If I choose 16 bit TIFF then each S95 image becomes a 70MB file, parallel to my JPEG and RAW.  Hardly a satisfactory solution.
    (I realise, however, that I don't actually know the bit depth of the S95 RAW file - anybody? ). 
    (2) SUGGESTION-  even if you are adding S95 support to the next update (which I dearly hope), be kinder to those with new cameras in general and allow LR to import JPEGs if it cannot import the RAWs (overriding if necessary the 'ignore JPEG' preference setting).  I am sure users with that preference would still prefer a JPEG than no picture at all!
    Since I discovered this compatibility problem, I switched the camera to record RAW+JPEG*. To my great irritation LR3 ignores the JPEGs even though it cannot load the RAWs.  So if I want to import from one supported camera (EOS40D) and one unsupported camera (S95) I have to keep going into preferences to switch on and off the 'ignore JPEG' function.
    JJ
    *  (this seems to be a setting that needs doing in the various different modes of the camera, by the way).

  • I imported events from iphoto into aperture and aperture is showing 2 photos for each picture, one original and one edited although none of the photos from iphoto had been edited. Any idea why this has happened and what I need to do to prevent this.

    I imported several events for iPhoto into Aperture3 and in Aperture it shows two photos for each photo imported, one original and one edited although none of the photos imported were edited. Why has this happened and what do I need to do to prevent this in future. I have only recently got Aperture and am trying to learn as I go along using the Focal Press guide. Thanks for any help.

    This is not what I found to be the case in a recent experiment using iPhoto11- I did repeat it to be sure.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15586837#15586837
    Quickly, what I found is that only the ones I did actual adjustments on brought over two images.  Images that were simply rotated, had "quick fixes" or "Effects" did not bring in two images.  More importantly, among the ones with adjustments that did bring in two images, the ones with the keyword  "iPhoto Edited" appear to be nothing more than iPhoto's 6MB JPEG Previews.  The master was a 25MB RAW image.
    I don't know why some users are experiencing doubles on everything, but I recommend caution in deciding which ones to remove or you may find yourself deleting masters and keeping previews.

  • Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.

    I'm trying to setup my Canon MX870 USB ink jet printer plugged into my Airport Extreme's USB port.  However, I keep getting a message of; "Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."  And then I have to click cancel.
    The "Print & Scan" from System Preferences, can see the printer as it has the NAME: Canon MX870 series,  and the LOCATION: 'the name of my network',  and USE: MX870 series.  But after clicking "Add", it tries to install the software (I've already installed the latest drivers however on my Mac Pro) and that's when I get this message;
    "Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
    Any ideas, help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello Marty,
    It sounds like you are not able to add your Canon printer in System Preferences.  I found an article with steps you can take to resolve this:
    Resolution
    USB printers and Bonjour-enabled network printers
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.

  • After upgrading to iOS 8, the weather app does not show up results for any of the Indian States/cities

    After upgrading to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5, the weather app does not show up results for any of the Indian States/cities. Can Apple look into this or does anyone have a solution to this.

    Swipe from bottom of days listed ("Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, etc")  upwards.  I thought it was gone too but it's still there~just takes different way to access it.

  • How do I determine the size of an event (cmd I does not show any size for events).

    How do I determine the size of an Event in iPhoto? (Cmd + I does not show size information at the event level).

    If you're running iPhoto 8 (09) select the event and look at the Info pane at the lower left hand corner of the window.  It will give you the number of photos and size:
    for iPhoto 9 (11) open the Event, select all of the photos in it and open the Info drawer at the right by typing Command+i.  The number of photos and size will be at the top of the Info drawer.

  • I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

    Hello al!
    I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

    Just create a new page (or use the existing photo page) on your external site and use html to add an iframe sized to the page and link it to the mobilme gallery page. Works for me just fine when showing my gallery from a yahoo site.
    like this
    <iframe scrolling="off" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" style="width:100%;height:100%;border:none" src="http://gallery.me.com/your_account_name"></iframe>

  • OpenJPA - ArgumentException: Could not locate metadata for the class usi...

    I'm getting the following exception when executing logic/queries around JPA entity classes:
    {color:#333399}nested exception is: &lt;1.0.0 fatal user error&gt; org.apache.openjpa.persistence.ArgumentException: Could not locate metadata for the class using alias "MyClass". This could mean that the OpenJPA enhancer or load-time weaver was not run on the type whose alias is "MyClass". Registered alias mappings: "{MyClass=null}"{color}
    I get this exception on occassion. It is intermitent and i can't seem to reproduce it consistently.
    I'm using the following:
    WebLogic: 10
    KODO: 4.1.3.1 bundled with WL10 which in turn uses OpenJPA 1.0.0
    In other forums on the net they have suggested explicitly adding the classes to the persistence.xml file ( i've done this )
    They have also stated to run the openjpa enhancer on the code before deployment to WL ( done this too!)
    One last step that i have yet to attempt is to load the class within the code before use ( haven't tried this as it seems so hackish)
    Any other thoughts? ANyone else experience this?
    Thanks

    We are having the same issue.. Anybody knows how to deal with this problem?

  • My mini with IOS 7.0.6 is not showing an option for wish list in the options. What is happening?

    My mini with IOS 7.0.6 is not showing an option for wish list in the options. What is happening?

    The three Rs to IOS, try them in order until the issue is resolved;
    Restart - Press and hold the Power button until the red Power Off stripe appears. Swipe to power off. Press and hold the Power button to turn the device back on.
    Reset - Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons.
    Restore - Connect the device to the Mac or PC with which it is usualy synced and use the iTunes app to restore the device to the factory settings. You can then restore the device with a previously made backup or set it up as new.

    Finish the download on your computer in iTunes and then sync the app to the iPad and then delete it. You will probably have to let it fully download before you can delete it.
    You can try restarting the iPad and see if the download will resume - Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Yoy can try  this as well and see if the download will resume. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Look in iTunes and see if there is a pending download in there that might be causing the delay. If there is a download there, try to finish that one first.

  • Aperture not showing up in app store

    Why is Aperture not showing up in the app store for re-download? I purchased version 2 and upgraded a while ago, and it works great on my old Mini, but with the Macbook Retina coming soon, I'm worried that I have to purchase again?

    How did you upgrade? From the App Store? Somewhere else?

  • What are the correct settings for the Canon 5D mark II in FCP 7 ?

    I am shooting full HD at 23s97 fps.. tried making a preset for the Canon but when I import fils FCP always wants to change to appropriate settings for this file type but doesn't tell me what that is...
    (latest firmware installed)
    Please, can someone provide all the correct settings for me?
    And also, why doesn't the camera show up on the desktop/in the menus when attached to the mac? I have ro use EOS utility every time I want to get anything off of the camera... and FCP doesn't see it either. That's just not right - FCP MUST recognise my camera!! : (
    Please help - I don't want to start editing until I have the right settings for this footage.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Boards
    Not sure what you mean with the following, looks like a word dropped?
    I have ro use EOS utility every time I want to get anything off of the camera...
    Anyway, some more specs on your system could help point where the issue is. With the new Plug-In by Canon you can Log & Transfer from the Flash Card (not sure how you connected the camera.) Alternatively you could just drag the files in (but make sure to keep all files such as THM in case you use Log and Transfer later.)
    Generally it is best to transcode to Pro Res to be able to work with the files in Final Cut. (Log & Transfer should do that, or using Compressor/Mpeg Streamclip.)
    It (Final Cut) is probably changing the timeline to match the codec, or depending on your last preset used, just switching things around. In other words if you were editing in DV and had a set up for that, new sequences would default to that and if you try to ad anything else you will get the message.
    Take a look at the search over there -> to look for the Canon 5D threads for some more info.
    What I would do is just pull one of the clips in to start and look at what the sequence settings are aftr Final Cut changes them for you - they should be fine generally, though you will want to change Codecs to Pro Res.
    I like just batch conversion of all my clips from the 5D Markk II and then work from there. (I do not hook up the camera to the computer, just use a card reader.)

    In another thread I posted a suggestion to try when the iPhoto app in the Application folder will not work:
    after upgrading the OS, iPhotos (and Aperture for that matter) should still be in the Applications folder...
    And running well in 10.10.3.
    If it stops running in a next "update" do not throw it away: most apps will continue running as follows:
    In the Applications folder "rightclick" (CTL+click) the iPhoto app, then "show package contents", then click the MacOs folder open: you see the real app (dark grey), rightclick this and choose "make alias", an alias is made, move this alias to the Applications folder and use it to run iPhoto.
    Same for Aperture.
    In older OS this survived several upgrades....
