Canon EOS 500D: no tethering?

Hi,
using Aperture 3.1.2 / Digital Camera RAW 3.7.0 on Mac OS X 10.6.7, i can't start a tethering session with my Canon 500D plugged in. The 500D firmware version is 1.1.0 (up to date) and is supposed to be supported (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4176).
The "Start session" menu item is enabled, but when i click on it nothing happens, excepted some log that appers in the Console :
5/25/11 1:48:29 AM Aperture[34488] *** Assertion failure in -[NSProTextFieldCell _objectValue:forString:errorDescription:], /SourceCache/AppKit/AppKit-1038.35/AppKit.subproj/NSCell.m:1531

Am i the only one experiencing this?

One thing I forgot to ask, importing images from the camera works ok?
With the same software 10.6.7, 3.1.2 and the latest prokit 3.7 I can shoot tethered with a canon 40d, no problems so its unfortunately nothing obvious with your setup.
At this I point  I would recommend the normal Aperture troubleshooting steps. Run the library first aid (hold down the option and command keys and start aperture) Run the permission repair and library repair. Try moving the preferences file, com.apple.Aperture.plist in your Home/Library/Preferences folder to the desktop and restart Aperture.  Try creating a new empty library and try the tethered shoot and finally try creating a new user and running Aperture as that user.
Depending on the results it might narrow down or fix the issue.
You also might try posting the log entry to the Developer list . Ask if anyone can give you an idea as to what might be the cause.
And of course i you're still under warranty or have Apple Care give them a call.
good luck let us know what happens.

  • Adobe Camera Raw 5.3 does not support Canon EOS 500D

    Hi,
    I just bought a new Canon EOS 500D and it seems that Adobe Raw 5.3 (i.e. LR2 and CS4) do not support the new (or better changed) Canon RAW format (CR2).
    Does anyone know when this camera model / RAW format will be supported?
    Any ideas for workarounds?
    Best regards,
    paulmut 

    If the camera allows it, shoot raw+JPEG, that way, you can still use/work with the JPEG version, until the CR2 of the 500D will be supported.
    You can also contact Canon and suggest them to take a competitive edge over Nikon by embracing the DNG format, that would have allowed support at release date, in many raw converters programs, like Pentax and others are doing.

  • Canon EOS 500D software & MacBook Air

    I've just got a Canon EOS 500D. I was going to simply connect it to my MacBook Air but there is a big sign with it suggesting I need to load the EOS Digital Solution disk for it to work properly.
    I obviously don't have a cd drive so am not sure what to do. Am a bit of a novice.

    You will find that your camera shows up in iPhoto without any additional software. You only need to use the Canon Software if you are interested in their applications. Simple picture transfer to your Mac does not require any of this software.
    One example of something that might need the Canon software, depending on what else your system has loaded, is the handling of images in the RAW format. If you are working with JPG files, disregard.

  • RAW Camera support for Canon EOS 500D?

    I just bought the Canon EOS 500D and now Aperture returns an "unsupported image format" when I shoot in RAW. I have the latest RAWCameraUpdate.pkg with version 2.5.
    Still nothing.
    Help!?

    What you can do for now is use Aperture to organize and collect your images while you wait for a RAW update. In the interim, if you need to get images out for printing, email, web, etc. export the master and use the very underrated DPP (Digital Photo Professional) that came with your camera. It does a very good job with RAW conversion of Canon files and actually gives you some advantages over Aperture and ACR/Ligthroom in that it will let you apply your camera technologies that you lose when you shoot RAW over JPEG.
    It's rather limited in what it can do in comparison to Aperture or Lightroom, but for simply getting excellent images from your RAW files, with basic edits like cropping, sharpening, and exposure it's very good.

  • Canon Eos 500d - iPhoto 11 - Mobile Device (iPhone, iPad) not possible...

    Hi there,
    i have a problem i just don't get solved.
    I have a Canon EOS 500d Camera that i also use to shoot videos every once in a while, but I dont get to transfer to my iPhone or iPad. But let me explain.
    I import the Movies (1280x720) from the Camera just like the Pictures (mostly RAW) into iPhoto11 which works like a charm. I am also able to watch these Movies within iPhoto. Not a problem.
    BUT. When i try to get them on my iPhone or iPad using iTunes, marking to sync Pics and Movies, it just doesn't work. It shows me an Error like: The following Movies/Videos couldn't be imported because the Format (.MOV) is unknown.
    I am wondering if this Problem is known and how i can fix this?
    This Problem does not occur w/ videos taken on the iPhone They get transferred to my mobile devices without any trouble.
    I really hope that someone could help me w/ this issue.
    Thank you very much,
    Markus

    Hi,
    thanks again.
    How can you export movies (that already exist as .MOV-Files in iPhoto, but do not sync w/ iPad etc. as described above) from iPhoto then?
    If you select one of the .MOV-Files within iPhoto and choose "Export..." (shift + cmd + E) and go to "Quicktime" the "Export"-Button is disabled. All other ways don't work either. This is just to Export PICTURES as in .JPG and else. Other wise you are very well invited to tell me how to export .mov-Files as Quicktime-Movie within iPhoto.
    As for the "Save as...": I am sorry, you are right. Not available within iPhoto. I dragged one of the .MOV-Files on the Desktop, opened with Quicktime and then via "Save as..." or "Share"-> "iTunes..." transfer to iTunes. The Movie then shows up as "Movie" within iTunes and can be synced w/ iPhone etc.
    There must be an easier way though. It is really a pain to workaround like this.
    Still really looking forward to a solution.
    Thanks again,
    Markus

  • Import photos to Photoshop Elements 9 from Canon EOS 500D

    Lately I'm having problem with importing photos from Canon EOS 500D. Elements recognise the camera and return numbers of photos and so on correctly but when I hit 'Get media' nothing happens. The dialogframe stalls and I have to kill it via Windows Activity center. If I copy the files from camera into a file on the computer and the import from there it works ok and the same if I put the memorystick into a cardreader. i have also a Canon PowerShot G9 and there is no problem importing from that camera.
    Where is the problem, in my Canon EOS 500D or in Photoshop Elements 9?
    Ver of Photoshop Elements 9: 9.0.3.
    Firmwareversion of Canon EOS 500D: 1.1.0.
    Windows version : Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit version, servicepack 1.
    Regards
    Ingvar

      If you open the Organizer and press Ctrl+G that will launch the photo downloader.
    Is your 500D recognized as a device when connected to the computer?
     

  • Canon EOS 500D

    Which preset do i use to edit clips shot with a Canon EOS 500D?

    There are lots of presets for DSLR footage in the New Sequence dialog. If one of them does not match your footage settings (you need to know those), you can create your own custom preset by opening the New Sequence dialog and clicking on the Custom (CS5) or Settings (CS5.5) tab. Alternatively, just drag a clip to the New Item button at the bottom of the Project panel (looks like a dog-earred sheet of paper) and let PPro automatically create a matching sequence for you. Its parameters will match those of the clip, and you can then add additional footage to it.

  • I have a Canon EOS 500D Camera the LCD has started to get black lines across it. Any ideas why?

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Are they horizontal lines? And they don’t show up in the photos (once you export to a computer)?  It’s completely a guess, but I’d assume that the electrical contacts for those lines have become detached/corroded/broke.  So long as it doesn’t affect your final photo I’d say just live with it.  Fixing a camera that old isn’t worth it, so live with it or upgrade are your options. 
    If they do show up in the final photos then I’d guess that your sensor is damaged.  There are no settings that would do that, so something is damaged.  Again, with a camera that old it wouldn’t be financially sound to repair it, whatever it is.

  • Canon EOS 6D support in LR 5?

    Any news available, that LR 5 will support Canon EOS 6D with tethering in a future update?

    DSLRemote Pro does not work with WIFI alone !
    It needs the camera to be connected via USB to a computer.
    But EOS utility can import camera files (pics) via WIFI to computer and I would like these pics to be imported via WIFI direct to LR (the watch folder work-around is known for months, already).
    Many users in forums which own Canon EOS 6D would like to do this with LIGHTROOM, because it's the first Canon DSLR with built-in WIFI.
    DSLRemote Pro does a different thing. It always uses a Camera, a computer and a smartphone to _make_ pictures remotely with the phone, but there's already a smartphone app which does this without a computer (EOS Remote).
    So we talked about different things. :)

  • When will Lightroom 4 support tethering for Canon EOS 6D?

    Hi, all...
    The Canon 6D is not in the current list of supported cameras for tethering in Lightroom. When will Lightroom 4 support tethering for Canon EOS 6D?
    Thanks

    To be clear: Lightroom 4.3 now supports Canon 6D Raw files

  • Canon EOS 350D tethered shooting LR3

    I've read a couple of threads on this issue already but althouygh they are marked as being answered they don't actually provide an answer, so here goes...
    I've launched LR3: File: Tethered Captue. Connect my camera to the laptop via USB. Now, if I have the camera set to PTP in the communication settings LR recognises my camera and displays Canon EOS 350 D. BUT the camera does not respond to anything! The button in LR used to capture an image does nothing, the shutter button on teh camera does nothing. The display flashesd "Busy" continuously but is completely non responsive.
    If I change the communication settings to PC connection the LR does not see the camera.
    There is a thread whcih discuses exactly this on this forum but she resolved it by using a different camera (hardly a resolution, more a get round which unfortunately is not available to me).
    SO can someone help? I've rebooted the camera by taking the batery our. rebooted the PC and swapped USB leads and ports. No other programs are open.

    Hello,
    the 350D should be supported:

  • Support for tethered shooting for Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i

    I just read online that Apple Aperture 3.1.2 won't tether to my Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i under OS X 10.6.7.  Is this true?  If so, is there a workaround or some software I can install?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    BTW - in case anyone is wondering, I've tested this... Canon T1i does work with tethering. (this camera is natively supported by Aperture for purposes of tethering)
    For any cases where there is a camera which is not supported directly, there is also a work-around which should work for almost any camera.
    Go to the Aperture plug-ins page:  http://www.apple.com/aperture/resources/plugins.html
    Look for a plug-in called "Aperture Hot Folders" (direct link is here:  http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/aperturehotfolder.html?cmp )
    The plug-in monitors a folder (of your choosing).  Any image which shows up in that folder will automatically be imported into an Aperture project (it's on-the-fly).  Essentially you'd use the Canon EOS Utility to do the tethering, which requires that you pick a target folder where it'll save all pictures you shoot during the tethered session.  You then tell Aperture Hot Folders to monitor that same folder and import any images found into an Aperture project. It gives you the ability to create tethering support for any camera that can do "tethering" even if Aperture doesn't directly support the specific camera (by using the manufacturer's own tethering utility.)

  • Can I use Image Capture to take a picture using a Canon EOS 10D?

    Normally I use a card reader to download digital photos, but today I hooked my camera directly to my iMac. I then noticed the "Take Picture" button, so I tried to use it to take a picture with my Canon EOS 10D. Image Capture didn't refuse, it just showed the 'cogwheel' animated cursor and got stuck. What does this mean - is it that this particular camera won't work or that there is something wrong with the setup? I have other digital cameras, but I don't want to work all this out by experiment alone - how can I find out more about how this feature of IC works and what exactly is going on when I press "Take Picture"? There is absolutely no technical info in the Help files.

    The Help on Image Capture has the following:
    Many cameras let you take a picture using Image Capture when the camera is connected to your computer.
    To take a picture:
    Connect your camera and open Image Capture.
    Click Download Some.
    Click Take Picture.
    The camera snaps a picture, which then appears in the window.
    If you don’t see the Take Picture icon, choose View > Customize Toolbar, and drag the Take Picture icon to the toolbar.
    If the Take Picture icon is dimmed, your camera doesn’t support this feature.
    As the option is available to you, your camera supports +Tethered Shooting+. If it’s not working check your camera’s manual to see do you need this enabled on your camera.
