Camera connection kit + Canon EOS 7D,it works?

I'm planning to buy the apple's camera connection kit to use with my iPad 2 and my Canon EOS 7D.Im shooting RAW with an 16GB CF.There are any known issues that i may have?

I just tried several methods of transferring photos from my Canon 7D to my iPad 2 using the Camera Connection Kit. I was shooting both RAW and JPG, and used a Sandisk 16GB CF Card in my camera to save the photos.
Obviously, since the 7D takes CF cards and not SD cards, I used the USB dongle in the CCK. First I tried connecting the iPad to a Lexar CF card reader. I immediately got a message saying that the device requires too much power, even before I inserted the CF card into the reader. So that method didn’t work.
Next, with a CF card in the camera, I tried connecting the camera directly to the iPad using a USB cable. This method was successful. Upon turning on the camera, the photo program on the iPad activated and asked if I wanted to import my photos. I said yes, and all the images (both RAW and JPG) were transferred and viewable in the iPad.
Next, I tried transferring the 7D photos I just imported from my iPad over to my iMac for further editing in Aperture. This was also successful. My setup is such that when I connect my iPad to my iMac, the iMac’s Image Capture program is automatically started and from there I can move the iPad photos to Aperture or a folder. For these tests, I imported the photos into a folder on my desktop. I started Aperture (v. 3.1.3) and imported the photos in the folder into a new project. All the photos (both RAW and JPG) were successfully imported, including all the metadata from the camera. From there I could manipulate the photos just like any others in Aperture.
During my tests, I found that the choice of USB cable you use matters. At first, I used a thin USB cable that I had previously used for charging duty (in fact, it has a label that says Charging Use Only on it). It didn’t work at all for transferring data. However, when I switched to a thicker USB cable (from Apple coincidentally) that could handle data, the photos transferred from the camera just fine.
I still don’t think the iPad is the ideal photo backup device, due primarily to its relatively small storage capacity (especially if you shoot RAW), but at least these tests show it can in principle be done with higher-end SLR cameras that take CF cards.
Hope this helps someone.

New problem connecting Canon 20D camera to OS 10.4.7

Hi, I'm new to the forum but have foud you having looking for an answer to a problem i have had. re: New problem connecting Canon 20D camera to OS 10.4.3 and the answers listed for it the problem has been occuring on my 3 Macs, all running OS 10.4.7 and firmware on the new 20D at 2.0.3. The camera would not connect to the Mac with any software.
Canon told me to make sure that the connection mode is set to normal (which didn't work) but today they tell me to change it to P2P and iPhoto recognised the camera and downloaded. Still can't use the canon software (camera not connected / recognised) but they have said that a senior technition will be contacting me so i will keep you up to date.
All the best.

I have an update from my telephone conversation earlier today:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding your Canon product.
From the information supplied it would appear that the update in operating system is the cause of the problem. We can confirm that Canon are currently investigating compatibility with the recent update of the Apple Macintosh operating sytem OSX 10.4.7. If any software updates are neccessary they will become available from :

I'll update with more.....

Camera Connection Kit not working with Canon G12

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone can help me...
I just purchased the iPad Camera Connection Kit and when I plugged both the SD card and USB connectors in with the appropriate divices connected, and turned on, neither worked. Absolutely nothing happens.
My iPad picks up the CCK in the 'about' section in Settings but the Photo App did not load when the connectors where in. I am thinking it has something to do with my camera/SD card
Information:
iPad - Generation 1, Version 5.1.1, 16GB
Camera - Canon G12 Power Shoot. It has Picture Transfer Protocol
SD card - SanDisk SDHC card 4GB
Also, the camera saves the photo files in the DCIM folder with 8 characters, e.g. IMG_1234
Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
Many thanks,
CJ

I cannot find these settings anywhere on my camera or in the manual.
I had to do some searching on the internet just to find out it had picture transfer protocol. I am struggling to find answers about the G12's PTP or Mass Storage.
Sorry...

Windows 8.1 doesn't start Camera Window when Canon SX110IS is connected

When my Canon SX110IS is connected and turned on, Device Manager shows the camera as a connected Portable Device; and clicking Start/Control Panel/AutoPlay/Devices lists the Canon SX110IS and shows "Downloads Images from Canon Camera (Canon CameraWIndow)" as the action to take when camera is connected; however, when the camera is connected and turned on, Windows 8.1 doesn't start the CameraWindow program.

Solution: I thought that setting preferences using Windows 8.1 Control Panel / AutoPlay would make those actions happen. NOT SO! You MUST ALSO click to select "Use AutoPlay for all media and devices" at the top of the AutoPlay window. When you have your preferences set for your Media Card and your Canon Camera, AND have that also selected, the preferred actions you chose WILL take place when you either connect your camera to your computer via USB cable and turn the camera on, or insert your SD card in your computer.
In answer to why I connect via USB cable rather than inserting the SD card, it takes the same time for me to open the AV door and connect a USB cable between the camera and the computer as it does to open the battery door, remove the SD card, and insert it in the computer. So I guess it just depends on which mode you prefer to use.

Camera connect, can't import video from canon video camera

Having got over the disappointment of not being able to use a 3G data plan abroad for the iPad I comforted myself with the thought that I could enjoy watching movies taken on holiday on my brand new canon legria fs307 camcorder which I bought new along with the apple camera connect kit at the airport from Dixons.
It imports the stills fine by both card and USB but does nothing and does not recognise any of the video!
In fact connect it by USB it tells me the card may be damaged! Which it obviously isn't because it imports the stills.
Any ideas?

Does the MBP see the camera at all?

I have a MacBook Pro running 10.7.2. I am trying to import photos from my older Canon EOS-1D for the first time since my OS upgrade. iPhoto does not see the camera nor does Image Capture. IC says there is not a camera connected. Cable is known good.

I have a MacBook Pro running 10.7.2. I am trying to import photos from my older Canon EOS-1D for the first time since my OS upgrade. iPhoto does not see the camera nor does Image Capture. IC says there is not a camera connected. Cable is known good. Has something changed? Thanks!

If neither iPhoto not IC can seethe card it might suggest an issue with the card or the ports on the camera/mac.
Try reformat the card, change the ports and/or use a USB Card Reader.

Camera Connection Kit Not Working with Canon Rebel

Using the connection and the Canon Rebel SRLD, I was not able to transfer pictures to the iPad.
I was able to transfer pictures using the memory card.
Not able to transfer pictures from the 3G iPhone.
Should I take the connection kit, the camera, and the iPad to an Apple store to see why it's not working, or does anyone have any solutions.
Thanks,

The cameras connection kit does not support the iPhone 3G.

It does however supports both the iPhone 3GS and 4.

Camera connection kit (USB) doesn't work with iPhone 3Gs / Canon EOS 30D

When I plug in my iPhone 3Gs or Canon EOS30D to the camera connection kit via USB the iPad behaves strange: One time nothing happens at all. The other time "photo" starts, showing the "camera" button which disappears immediately after a few seconds. Actually I was only able to import photos when I push the connection kit against the iPad o.o ???
Does anybody has had a similar problem ?

Do you have a case on the iPad the is interfering with getting a good connection? What cable are you using: Is the battery in the camera almost fully charged and is it on the right setting? I could no find any previous discussions on your particular camera but other users have reported not being able to download from some cameras.

Re: Canon IXUS V installation - Camera connection not detected

I have installed this driver from the Cannon website but when I connect the camera I get a message saying " Camera connection not detected" followed by an error message saying pscN109 has stopped working.
Then a Microsoft message saying no soloution found. Can anyone help me?

Jeffrey
The reason I posted it on the Toshiba forum is that whilst I have downloaded the correct driver for Vista but there is a compatibilty issue between it and Vista. Microsoft don't want to know as the Vista was supplied with the computer so they said contact the computer manufacturer

Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8

Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8?

The kit is firmly inserted in thhe iPad's dock ? You could also try a reset and see if it's recognised after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
I haven't had problems using the kit with SD cards from Canon cameras . What capacity is the card, and it's an SD or SDHC card - if it's an SDXC card that's formatted as ExFAT then it won't be recognised

Camera Connection questions...

I have a couple questions about the iPad Camera Connection that I have not been able to find answers for on the forum:
1. Does the Photo app recognise already imported images if you leave images on your camera after importing and want to import newly shot ones? or does it import them all again?
2. I use a Canon 5D Mk2 - I've read that the iPad cannot play the movies, however does it still import them from the camera and then allow you to transfer them to your laptop later?
thanks!

For your first question, the answer is no. It will ask if you want to import an old (already imported) image just like it asks for a new image. At least that is how it works with my ipad.

HT4101 Is there a maximum file size that can be transferred with the camera connection kit?

I'm trying to transfer images from my Canon 5DmkII with the lightning to USB adapter and it will not transfer the 9.9MP or 21MP RAW images. Is there a size limit on the file that can be transferred?

Canon digital camera utilities

I've just got a new laptop with OS X 10.6 on which replaces my old one with OS X 10.4. I need to install the software for the Canon digital cameras but can only find 'updater' downloads for 10.6 which rely on you having the original installed on your computer. I have tried installing the software from the original discs but the computer doesn't recognise the CD, despite it spinning.
Does anyone know of anywhere I can download the full bundle of software that comes with Canon cameras? I have been to the Canon website, but that is where the 'updater' software is.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

I have Canon Camera Utilities running updated on my Snow Leopard. I moved everything over from my previous computer(s) using Migration Assistant and then Setup Assistant on the first bootup of the new Mac. I didn't need to re-install from the Canon Disk, so I don't have any experience doing it that way. Not sure, but it's possible that Disk might be too old for the new Mac to read properly. I know mine was from the 10.3 Panther era. Perhaps if you make sure you have Rosetta installed, the new Mac will then be able to read that Disk which was probably written for PPC Macs.
One possibility for a workaround would be to connect the two Macs together in Firewire Target Disk Mode and move that Canon Folder in Applications in its entirety over to the new Mac. I'm not sure of this, but there may not be any related files installed in places other than your Home Folder Library, and any of these should be recreated when you install, update and run the Application. I just had a very quick look and didn't see anything. So, moving over just that Folder which contains the Apps might be sufficient. (Make sure you have Rosetta installed, since the old Canon App will probably be PPC. The new Mac will be Intel.)
Directions for Firewire Target.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
(The new laptop has Firewire 800, which uses a 9 pin Firewire cable and the old Mac may be Firewire 400 which uses a 6 pin cable, so you'll need a 9 to 6 pin cable. Check first to see what the Ports look like. The old 6 pin port is kind of rectangular and curved at one end. The new 9 pin is kind of square.)
The other possibility would be if you're in the US, you could call 1-800-OKCANON and ask for tech support for this issue.

Camera connection kit help,

Hi I am trying to use camera connection kit to import photos using sd card but nothing happening. I can transfer my photos via i tunes as i have tried this but wanted to use the camera kit any help would be appreciated

Most digital cameras use a standard naming format when they write photos to their memory cards, and the iPad and its camera connection kit only accepts that format i.e. directly off the root off the card should be a directory called DCIM, and underneath that are the photos, whose filenames should be exactly 8 characters long plus their file extension e.g. IMG_0001.JPG
DCIM
IMG_0001.JPG
IMG_0002.JPG
etc
(Digital cameras quite often have another directory between the DCIM and the actual photos, but it's just the DCIM one that is important.)
For direct transfer from your camera, you may need to change a setting on your camera - I know that some Canon DSLRs have a menu setting on them to enable 'PTP' (picture transfer protocol) on them, not sure about other makes.
