Canon camera power shoot SX 260 wifi smartphone problem

I discovered late that to send a photo taken with the power Shoot sx260 to my smartphone via wifi I really didn't have the right powershoot camera. When I called last week Canon the technician said to try a card like eye-fi. I purchased it and installed it on my computer. I also downloaded the canon camera window program to the smartphone. I put the wifi eye-fi card in the camera--took a photo and tried to get it to the smartphone--at first it seemed the smartphone recognized the camera and the camera screen said transferring--after a time the camera screen said not connected. The photo doesn't seemed to have gotten to the smartphone. Any advice would be much appreciated. Regards, Len

>So that the Community can help you better, we will need to know the type of smartphone you are using and the computer operating system you're using (Windows XP/Vista/7/8 or Mac 10.x). Any error messages or other details you'd like to give will also help the Community better understand your issue.<
Thanks so much--my computer operates with Windows XP--it's an older Dell. My Smartphone is a Samsung which I got about 4 years ago from Verizon. It's model number is SCH 1405. It says it's hardware version is 1405.05 whatever that means--I'm not too good with electronic gadgets. [sigh] I can't add anything about the error message--the camera seemed to try to connect to the smartphone but the photo never came through.
On the internet I found this at the Eye-fi site:
"When used with an Eye-Fi card, the Canon PowerShot SX260 HS stays powered on until wireless
media uploads are complete, has an onscreen icon, and offers the ability to enable/disable the Eye-Fi
cards Wi-Fi via the camera menu.

I'm running CS4 and use a Canon T3i to shoot RAW. Which camera raw patch do I need?

I'm running CS4 and use a Canon T3i to shoot RAW. Which camera raw patch do I need? I get his error when trying to install the latest patch: "Adobe Application Manager is needed to resolve this problem, however it is missing or damaged. Download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager or install this product again."

If the camera is newer than the last version of Camera Raw that was released for an older version of Photoshop, you won't be able to get direct, convenient "open file" support for the raw files.
You can check per these links:
Minimum Camera Raw version required for a particular camera:
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw versions available for update with various Photoshop releases:
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Just glancing at those links, Photoshop CS4 can update to only as far as Camera Raw 5.7. Unfortunately, the minimum required version to work with your T3i is Camera Raw 6.4.
Your fallback position will be to either convert your raw files to DNG format with the latest free DNG converter release, or get a newer version of Photoshop. The later has an advantage in that there have been substantial improvements to Camera Raw in recent releases.

Installed my new canon camera n trashed my old canon software but when i connected camera its telling me that connection software for another canon is running n software can't be launched

Installed a canon A3400IS camera to my OS X Yosemite computer n trashed my old canon camera software but the when i connect the camera its telling me that the connection software for another canon is running and that the software cannot be launched

Take a look at the specs of your camera:
http://shop.usa.canon.com/shop/en/catalog/cameras/powershot-camera-specials/powe rshot-sx500-is
First, get yourself a decent brand (I have Verbatim and Sandisk) absolute minimum 4 GB, better 8 or 16 GB SDHC card, class 6 or higher (that number is in a little circle on the front of the card and means it can handle faster read/write speeds).
Presumably, you are shooting in 1280 HD which will result in MUCH bigger file sizes. My camera does both 1280 HD as well as 1920 HD and in the latter, a 3 minute video easily uses up to 3 GB.
Once you get a larger capacity card, you will be able to shoot up to 20 - 30 minute videos (depending on the card capacity - they have maximums). When I shoot video, I only use 16 and 32 GB cards. You might also call Canon and ask them two questions (or email their support, they're pretty good at answering):
1. What is the maximum card capacity the SX500 can handle (cards can go to 32, 64, 128 GB)?
2. What is the highest class number the camera can handle? (I said to get at least class 6; many more now come in class 10, and then there is a brand new version called UHS-1). If you get a card that is too fast, it will result in lower quality videos/pics. When I got my SX40, I called Canon and got their recommendations on cards because I was not happy with the quality output of the cards I had.
And, lastly, make sure that, if you are using a card reader, it is fast enough to read whatever card class you will be using - that is important as that determines how long it takes it transfer the stuff to the computer. Also, I'd suggest using a USB card reader rather than attaching the camera - it makes it so much easier to handle and saves the camera battery.
Start with these suggestions and you'll find that you'll be happy with the output of your camera.

Transfer pics **DIRECTLY** from Canon camera(SDcard) via**WIRE** to iPhone3G?

Is there a way to transfer pics **DIRECTLY** ie, **NO COMPUTER** from Canon camera(SDcard) via **WIRE**ie., **NO WiFi** to iPhone3G?
Do you all understand my question?
Please don't respond that I need a computer to do that...I know this.
What I want is a "device" like a card reader, that will plug **DIRECTLY** into an iPhone...Thanks.

The only way I could think of to do this would be by using the camera connection kit. One of the 2 pieces is a dock-USB connector so your could plug the camera directly into it, the other piece is a card reader that plugs into the dock connector. It's designed for the iPad. I haven't heard of anyone trying to use it on an iPhone. I'm sure someone has tried, but I have no idea what the result would have been.

Using avchd clips from a canon cam - finally figured it out

hello happy forumers,
a few weeks ago I posted looking for help in getting premiere pro to recognize the correct frame rate of the clips I imported from my canon vixia HF11 avchd cam. the problem was: the 24 fps clips were listed as 29.97 in the project window; consequently, they played fine in a source "audition" window, but when put into a 24f sequence window they stuttered.
I thought that the stuttering was because premiere thought the clips were 29.97 and the sequence was set at 24, so it was trying to compensate as it went. I was partially right in that a mismatch was the cause, but not the mismatch I thought.
turns out that the canon hf11, hf10 and some of the sony cams don't really shoot in true 24f progressive. they have a SETTING called 24p, as well as a 30p, BUT, in actual fact they are STILL SHOOTING AT 60i (interleaved) but affecting some sort of a 24frames "look". Without getting into how much that pisses me off since neither canon nor anyone in any store will tell you this, the correct sequence setting to use when working with these clips is 60i non-anamorphic.
you can also fool premiere into treating the clips as 24p clips by right clicking on the file, selecting interpret footage - setting it to 23.976 and in the field order selecting no fields, but then they run in slo-mo, unless I'm doing something wrong.
I hope this saves some of you the months of nail-chewing I went through trying to edit your avchd video on an underpowered system.....

hello kaiserboy
not sure what you're asking. as far as I've been told, the 24fp settings are not true 24 in any way shape or form, they're 60i, plain and simple, with some sort of 24 simulation. following is the email I got from dhelmly - a top gun for premiere development at adobe.
as far as my experience working with the clips for the last few weeks, I'm having great luck working in a 60i non-anamorphic sequence, and exporting in whatever format I choose - mostly h264 mp4. it looks great - I'm very happy with the output quality, although I get a few artifacts when viewing my clips before export. I assume this is due to my system being underpowered (a macbook pro).
regarding drives, I've discovered that the smoothest playback comes when using my laptop's internal drive, followed closely by a cheapo USB2 drive! lastly by any firewire 800 drive, which skips and stutters unacceptably - raid or not. go figure.
"Your camera actually shoots in 60i not 24 frames (23.976) It's really more of an effect than a frame rate. However - you can fake out Premiere to match the Canon effect. Choose the AVCHD>1080P@24 FPS Preset. Import your footage from the Media Browser by dragging the clips from the browser to you Project Bin. Next select a clip and Right Mouse Click and choose Interpret Footage, select the Assume this Frame rate option and change to 23.976 (not 24) and in the same dialog window choose Field Order>No Fields Progressive Scan. Now when you drag the clip the to the sequence it should not Redline and it should give you the 24 frame look. if it Redlines then a setting is off. I tried it here on my mac and the Canon HF10 and it worked fine.Keep in mind that the actual footage is 60i(or 59.94 to be exact). canon and Sony both have these 24 Frame look modes. The Panasonic 150 does native 24 but is much more $$. Always remember to use the Media Browser when working with Tapeless Media. We rely on onthe XML data in those folder to tell us more about the files. More cool stuff coming - lots going on in the lab. AVCHD playback will bet much better as we get to true 64 bit (OSX 10.6 & Win7) and GPU. The next gen stuff I'm seeing in the labs now is totally amazing -I've been hear nearly14 years and a Premiere user for nearly 19 years and I'm blown away - Not due out for while yet but it will be worth the wait. Mac & Win users will very happy indeed."

Import only jpg files from a camera that shoots RAW+jpg?

Is there a way to import only jpg files from a camera that shoots both RAW+jpg? I only want the small jpgs copied, not the RAW file. I have the USB adapter and am about to go on vacation and wanted to use my iPad to upload pictures to Facebook on the go so I am going to shoot on my Canon 5D in RAW+jpg. All I want to copy to the iPad are the jpg files. Is there a way to only copy one?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
I would note there is a long-standing issue between Kodaks and some versions of OS X - the workaround for that is to use a USB Card reader.

Delete Canon camera photo not sync

I would like to delete Canon photos from my iPad 4?
Syncing just adds more photos that I have adjusted through Photoshop.
This incompetent iOS chooses what photos it wants to sync and doesn't ask me what I want.
In the iOS where is the delete button to delete Canon camera photos? NOT the iPad photos which are easy to delete.
iTunes gives me a list of movies, music, apps and home share. Where in the world do you find photos to sync and unsync?
I use my laptop as a backup. I don't want to delete photos just to sync with my iPad to delete photos.
Where do you find the name of the photo on the iPad?

No help so far. I tried to follow the above but there are buttons and devices talked about not showing for me.
Here is what is showing on my laptop for iTunes 11.0.5.5
1)Top left is a button that takes me to iTunes player preferences - nothing in there
2)Next line is the player control for back play forward and a slider button for sound then an Apple then a search box - no help on this line
3)Next is Flie View Edit Controls Store Help - nothing in there to delete Canon camera photos
4)Next is a button that allows me to check Movies Music Apps Home sharing - nothing for those buttons
same line unwatched movies genres home videos list - nothing to delete photos
same line a button that said iPad until I clicked it and it disappeared? setting in iTunes is taken off of autosync(back on after starting iTunes and it is autosyncing) then the last button is iTunes store
To sync photos from a Mac or Windows PC to your device using photo applications
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed. ****11.0.5.5****latest version****
In iTunes, select your device's icon in the Devices list on the left. ****Where is the devices icon****See above for Line 4****
Delete photos and videos from your device manually. Open the Photos application, open the Camera Roll, tap the Action button, tap each photo to select it, and tap the Delete button.
Note: For photos and videos you want to save for later, import them to your computer before deleting them from the Camera Roll.
Will not work for pictures taken with a Canon camera. Will work for pictures taken with the iPad camera.
I opened Photos on the iPad
First line is showing the iPad wifi then the time in the middle and far right is bluetooth battery
Next is three buttons Photos - Photo stream - Albums then on the right are the buttons slideshow edit
No where in iTunes can I find anything to do with changing folders or albums or syncing or choosing a device.
Way too complicated just to TRY AND DELETE a few Canon camera pictures.
I guess it is way more difficult to have a picture file manager built in to the iOS. How did the Apple programmers do it for their OS? They don't have to sync with iTunes.
Simplicity with iTunes equals chaos.
I can't figure this iPad and iTunes out when there are missing buttons.
Picture file manager for iOS7?

Matching two Canon cameras (xlh1 & xha1) color

How to match xlh1 with xha1 footage?
Shooting a stage with colored lighting with these two cameras at different angles are giving me slightly different colors. What am I doing wrong? I'm only doing basic white balance..inside white balance.

Mr. X exaggerates, a little.
No cameras match exactly, not even the same models, that's the nature of the electronic beast, but through charting and and a good operators eye, you can line them up very close. When you begin to shoot at the same subject at different angles, then reflectance values vary as well.
Those are fairly nice Canon cameras and who knows how they are set up with regards to their colorimetry, however, if they were charted first to something like a DSC Labs Chrome du Monde or a stepped gray-scale chart at the very least, they'd match very very close.
Can you post stills of each camera?

My images from my canon camera are to warm when viewed in LR4

When I load my images into light room 4 the color is not correct. However the color is correct when they are viewed using the Canon software, Tiffen DFX and other programs. My monitor is calibated using Huey Pro. I use a Canon 7D and shoot RAW exclusively.

Could be a calibration or profile or an expectation issue, or even a bug.
Are your Huey profiles ICC4 or something less? LR has had issues with ICC4 profiles. Are you using a wide-gamut monitor? Are you using dual monitors of different models and calibrations?
Have you tried all the camera-match profiles in the Camera Calibration area? Adobe-rendering will never be exactly the same as Canon-rendering but the profiles with the Camera prefix attempt to match the Canon rendering insomuch as a profile can do this.
Does the warmth issue happen for tungsten and daylight/flash lighting or more just one of those?
Are you using a custom-WB measured by the camera and using As Shot in LR or something else?
Can you give us a side-by-side screen-shot that shows the LR and the DPP version, and perhaps provide a sample raw file and DPP-rendered JPG for download using www.dropbox.com or the like?

Canon camera video download problems

I have a canon S2 IS and have no problems with photo downloading to Iphoto5. The videos I shoot with the camera are a different story. some videos download and others never make it into Iphoto. I think it depends on the format I shot them in. The import label keeps going and going without anything happening. Any thoughts?
Jeff

Yesterday I used my Canon camera as a video camera. (Not by choice, but it was better than nothing.) I spent quite a while uploading video clips from my SD cards today. Yes, a 2-minute clip can take more than 3 minutes to upload. Here are some tips:
Use a card reader. You do not want to rely on the camera's batteries during this process. I used my all-in-one printer as a card reader.
Use Image Capture. Click "Upload Some." View the card's contents in list view, because it will show you the size in MB of each video clip. This gives you a relative idea of how long the upload may take.
Upload only one video at a time.
Ignore Image Capture's blue progress bar. It seems to go from zero to completely blue, with no in between. It does not indicate any movement or change.
Use the Activity Monitor to see the Available RAM pie piece slowly shrink during the uploading. This shows you that something really is happening. You can also watch for the light on the card reader - if it blinks then the card is being read. My Mac Mini made no sound during the uploading.
Be patient. Eventually the Image Capture "Downloading" info will close and a Finder window will open with the new file showing. Ten minutes is not unreasonable. I even had an 8-minute video that was over 900MB, that uploaded successfully. I just had to wait long enough.
Play each clip in QuickTime to check that it is all there. If the upload is incomplete the clip will go white. My 8-min clip seemed incomplete at first. It played about 3 minutes, then went white. I closed it. In the Finder I saw the thumbnail file appear. When I opened the clip again, it was there in its entirety.
Ignore any .THM files that get uploaded. They are just the thumbnails created by the Canon. You can trash them.
Once all the clips were uploaded to a folder, I imported them into iPhoto 6. It only took a few minutes to import the whole folder of 15 clips. I like having them in iPhoto because their duration is displayed over their thumbnails.
I don't know if iPhoto 5 handles these longer clips as well. If it doesn't like them, you can always save them in your Movies folder. This will make them accessible from iMovie and iDVD.
I used to be able to import video directly from my card reader into iPhoto 6, even with clips up to 3 minutes long, shot with the same camera I used yesterday. I went back to 1Gig cards (no more 2Gig cards), and the problem did not resolve. I suspect the QuickTime update(s) after 7.1.3 have somehow caused the trouble with video clips. It seems slower and fussier this year compared with last year.
Hope this helps.

Canon Camera - Batch Capture Problems

Hi. I understand this is a common issue: I am using a Canon XL1 for interviews. I black out the tape in advance to avoid TC breaks, but when I use Batch Capture, I still run into "broken time code" messages. So, I end up using Capture Now, which is less efficient, so far as I can tell. I'm using a G5, 2.3 Gz, Dual Processor. As to Michael Grenadier's answer below, what does a firewire card do?
Thanks, as always!
Scott
This from Michael Grenadier:
There have always been issues with canon cameras. Try capturing with firewire basic device preset and see if that helps. The broken timecode error can also indicate some other thruput problem. Making sure your camera and hard drive are on seperate firewire busses can often help this problem. You need to add your equipment and os/software configuration to your profile to help analyze the problem. If you're using a tower, even though there are multiple firewire ports, there is only ONE firewire bus. Adding a firewire card can help.

Maxx, Thanks. In the past, I've taken the pre-post
TC break approach, but I always end up with an error
and no batch capture. I thought Batch Capture
doesn't work when there are TC breaks? Is there a
setting I'm missing?
We don't have a deck, so we use the XL1. I can try
my small camcorder though.
Very good to know about the XL2 - can we have yours?
hanks!
PLease take them both... I've been looking for an excuse to push for some new gear.
Typically I log all of my clips and then batch them from the browser. That way I can select a couple of clips at a time if the tape is that bad. And it has been before. We've got 1 shooter that likes to review shots but never rolls off any xtra tape before he does this. So everytime does it there's a TC break. But if the tape is bad or just doesn't have solid TC then you may be screwed.
Your camcorder will work just fine. I suggested this b/c that way you would at least know if you have a playback issue with your xl1 or if the tape just doesn't have solid TC.
Take a gander at Kevan's post as well. He asks some good questions and makes some good points as usual. I agree with what he said about blacking the tape. Back in my news days we had to do this and it was to be able to assemble edit deck to deck. No need to do this now though in this day and age of instant gratification. Boy I miss the days of blacking tapes, taking feeds, and sprinting through the news room with a tape as the anchor was leading into the story and tossing the tape to the tape op just in the nick o time... Ahh good times!

Why is the 2-sec timer option unavailable on my Canon Camera eos t3i-eos600d

Why is the 2-sec timer option unavailable for the Automatic shoot settings on my Canon Camera eos t3i-eos600? It is available on the manual settings.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Auto mode is a very limited mode. Try using Program until you learn how the other modes give you more control.

I would like to add a new Canon camera profile to the RAW interface

Hi, I would like to add a new Canon camera profile to the RAW interface.
I have recently installed the new camera profile 'Studio Portrait' which i download from here:
http://www.canon.co.jp/imaging/picturestyle/file/studio-portrait.html
When I open up a RAW files in Camera RAW, go to 'Camera Calibration', click on the drop down list called
'Camera Profile' I only see 'Adobe Standard, Faithful etc etc'.
My questions are, can i add the same camera profile i put in my camera, into a folder with in photoshop?
Or is photoshop reading the raw file and only seeing the default camera profiles?
If I could see the new camera profile listed it would help with work flow.
Best
JL-B
Please help, ive not had a good time waiting on the phone and trying to explain this to a live chat, hours have been wasted. Once i know the answer I can get back to the commission.

Are you following this
Apply a camera profile
To apply a camera profile, select it from the Camera Profile pop-up menu in the Camera Calibration tab of the Camera Raw dialog box. The Adobe Standard profile for a camera is named Adobe Standard. Camera Matching profiles include the prefix Camera in the profile name. The Camera Profile pop-up menu displays only profiles for your camera.
If the only profile in the Camera Profilemenu is Embedded, it means that you have selected a TIFF or JPEG image. Adobe Standard and Camera Matching profiles work only with raw images.
Note: If you have selected a raw file and Adobe Standardand Camera Matching profiles do not appear in the Camera Profilepop-up menu, download the latest Camera Raw update.

Photos won't import images from my Canon camera. When connected, program sees the images, tells me it will import the new ones, then freezes once import starts, not allowing any other operation to happen. MacbookPro 15" 2012, OSX Yosemite 10.10.3.

I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - no joy. Any ideas please?

I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion (10.7.4) - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - all up to date apparently but still no joy. OS X Lion shows the LX5 as a supported file format. I dont want to have to upgrade to Mountain Lion just to see if this solves the problem. Any ideas please.

Since when did this happen? Directly after you upgraded to Aperture 3.3.2?
If it happened directly after the upgrade the problem may be, that the raw support for your camera got lost. For some posters it helped to register the raw support again, see this post by Alan Roseman:
Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
If this does not help, you may need to reinstall Lion to bring back the raw support.
But if the problem occured independent of a new installation, ypu may have a problem with your camera or the card you are using. Have you tried to use a different card or to reformat the card in the camera?
