Canon G9 Scene Capture Type not working in Preview/Aperture

Hi,
I have a Canon G9, and have been using the SCN program on the program dialer on the top of the cam, letting me encode metadata about the content on the fly.
When I upload pictures taken with the SCN program on the G9 using ImageCapture, I get the word "Standard" on all my images when looking at the EXIF:Scene Capture Type field using Preview (Leopard).
The same field reads "0" (Zero) when looking at the same info using the latest version of Aperture.
I would love this to work. Are any of you using this with success?
Best regards,
Kjell Are Refsvik

Kjell,
I'm not EXIF expert, but I know that file and information formats (like EXIF) generally do not use text strings for predefined lists of values, like the ones we are talking about.
The text string takes up more space, and is considerable harder to compare. For instance, it is easy to program your computer to ask if the number "2" is equal to the number "2". Additionally, a computer programmer also knows that, if the "2" is supposed to take up 1 byte, that the next number you need to look at is 1 byte after the "2".
However, if you are using text strings, comparing "landscape" to "Landscape" and getting true takes a lot more time and smarts. And you also cannot easily find the next text string following "landscape" since you don't know how long it is until you read the whole word. If not for the standard, every camera manufacturer would insist that its wording and standard was the right one (Imagine "land scape" versus "landscape"!!) and we would never know what was going on.
That being said, yes, there are ways to use text strings instead of numbers, but that's just not the way the EXIF standard works. In general, we don't worry about it since all programs (except our beloved) decode the EXIF numbers and show us plain words. You can see that in iPhoto, Image Capture, [exiftool|http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool>, and just about any other program that will look at your pictures.
Granted, some cameras have modes that are not in the EXIF lists. They have to use the number code for "unknown" or "other", and then use a proprietary extension to EXIF (or some other meta data format) to store that information. Then, of course, when you look at the picture outside the camera, you need software to decode THAT proprietary information.
Okay, after all that, I really, really hope that the next version of Aperture decodes those stupid numbers! A first semester computer science student can decode it, I'm not sure why the Aperture software team neglected to decode them.

    After upgrading to Lion, Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software.  Gives error 9931.  What gives?

    Ouch, if it is indeed damaged, then sadly you need to restore the whole danged huge OS!
    Didn't used to be this way before Lion/10.7.
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • N5K : ethanalyzer capture-filter not working

    N5K, NX-OS 7.0.5
    ethanalyzer capture-filter not working whatever the filters used;
    I understand the capture-filter values are different from display-filter;
    for example :
    ethanalyzer local interface inbound-hi capture-filter 'ip proto 89' limit-captured-frames 0
    I tried "proto 89", "proto 0x59", and te same with ' ' instead of " ";
    none is rejected but no frame is captured
    If I use "ospf" as the capture-filter, I get the following normal since "ospf" is a display-filter :
    tshark: Invalid capture filter: "ospf"!
    That string looks like a valid display filter; however, it isn't a valid
    capture filter (parse error).
    Note that display filters and capture filters don't have the same syntax,
    so you can't use most display filter expressions as capture filters.
    See the User's Guide for a description of the capture filter syntax.
    no problem with the following display-filter :
    ethanalyzer local interface inbound-hi display-filter "ospf" limit-captured-frames 0
    Any idea ?
    thanks

    i think i solve the problem: to make vlan filtering to work on 6500, i've added:
    # conf t
    (config)# int vlan 4000
    (config-if)# no shut
    (config-if)# mac packet-classify
    Now, how to mark this question answered?

  • Some PDFs not working in Preview. Mac created PDFS work but windows created PDFS dont

    Some PDFs not working in Preview. I installed adobe reader and then deleted it because the software was aweful and PDFs have been haveing issues ever since. I can open up PDFs created on my Mac in preview just fine...

  • IDVD 08 - problem with scene selection tabs not working after "burn"

    I have a movie that is about an hour long (made in iMovie08 using mostly still photos). I wanted to have "chapters" -- but with that option gone, I used the Scene Selection option in iDVD08. This created menus with 15 scene selection buttons (I chose every 4 minutes). The menus were automatically created by iDVD and I did nothing to change them, except to type in scene info (two-three words).
    The buttons all worked fine on the computer, and I burned a DVD. The DVD worked great in my VCR player. I'd select Play Movie and it would go. I'd select Scene Selection and I'd get the menus for that. But when I'd highlight one of the scene selections and "enter" (select) -- it wouldn't go to that scene. I could go back and forth between menus, and could move around and highlight the scene buttons, but selecting would not start the scene to play. The movie played fine from start to finish, and the other remote features worked (stop, pause, menu, etc.).
    I went back to iDVD and chose a different theme (thinking maybe I'd inadvertently done something to mess things up. The only thing I did differently in addition to the new theme, was to add two small movie clips - and I rearranged the buttons on the menu (dragging) to get them positioned where I wanted them. So my first menu says "Play Movie". The second menu has: Play Movie, Scene Selections, Little Movie 1, Little Movie 2. Everything worked greated in iDVD. Then I created a disk image to view using DVD Player (rather than waste another DVD). Same problem -- only worse. This time I couldn't even highlight Scene Selection to get to the scenes' menus.
    Any thoughts on why I'm not able to get the "Scene Selection" buttons to work after a burn? Am I missing a step somewhere in iDVD?
    Thanks.

    I am not sure, but does your post concerning the problem, that all Remote Control function will work properly within iDVD'08 but after burning the DVD absolutely not with the RC of your set top DVD player connected to your TV?
    If this is it:
    Meanwhile I could figure out - after many nights of not been very productive and only working out on all the iDVD'08 problems - that **ALL** of the *7.0 Themes* have a major problem in generally.
    The following points are concerning iDVD'08 using any of the 7.0 Themes:
    - Complete deep freeze of your Mac under Leopard when rendering/coding/burning a movie which has chapters and you use movies instead of still images in drop zones. (LeopardiDVD087.0Themes)
    - Functions on remote control of your set top DVD player are not working correctly when making a movie with chapters. This is generally on Tiger and Leopard the same problem using iDVD08 with any of the 7.0 Themes.
    Quick and dirty workaround:
    You may avoid this if you simply use a 6.0 Theme or lower version of the Themes.
    But this is of course not the clue...
    It is VERY DISAPPOINTING, having software at such a low quality level deliverd by Apple. And somehow it looks like they DO NOTHING against it. No statement, no excuse, they really remain silent.

  • Creating new logical ports for WSDL with several port types not working

    Hi all,
    I am trying to integrate some BODS webservice into the BPM. I am using CE 7.2 Kernel Version:     7.20.3710. When I am trying to assign a provider system in the application configuration I get following error:
    The provider system successfully found the needed service, but its wsdl is without webservice policy. Thus the generated client configuration might not work because of different configurations between service and client (most probable a difference in the security settings). Either assign a provider system with access to wsdl with policy or manually create the client configuration.
    The regarding provider system is using a communication profil where the authentication method is set to "none". Normally this configuration should work, but it isn't.
    So I started to create new logical ports for each port type. But then I get the error:
    Port type name of loaded WSDL does not match the port type name of the Service Reference.
    I checked already the port type names in the WSDL but they are 100% the same. What I found was that the configuration is always trying to use the first port type in the WSDL. So I am not able to configure the other port types in the service group.
    I also tried to do the same thing using a WSDL with just one port type and surprise it is working...
    I hope somebody can help me out
    Thanks in advance

  • Smartform : line type not working fine when used on Next page

    Hi ,
    Please help on below :
    I have a smartform and have line type which is used in printing the items.
    When I use this line type on very first page , it works fine.
    But for the next page which is the exact copy of first page ,
    the line type does not work fine with printing first line item on next page,
    it refreshed the work area which i am printing. so on the next page very first element gets all the values 000
    But on the next iteration it works fine and does not refresh work area.
    Please see why is such abnormal behavior happening.
    Regards,
    Uma Dave

    Hi Ameya
    there might be syntax error. Try to get what exaclty is an error using following code.
    CALL FUNCTION <smartform>
        EXCEPTIONS
        IF SY-SUBRC  0.
           CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_READ_ERRORS'
                IMPORTING
                     ERRORTAB = IT_ERRORLIST.
         ENDIF.
    In IT_ERRORLIST you will get error message.

  • Exception handling with fault message type not working

    Hi,
    I have a sync proxy to proxy scenario and I have created a fault MT and specified in the outbound and Inbound service interface...
    *In Inbound proxy I have the following code--*......
    RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE z_cx_test_fault
    EXPORTING
    standard = l_standard_data.
    In the sender side abap code which calls the outbound proxy I have the follwing code -
    CATCH cx_ai_system_fault INTO lo_cx_ai_system_fault.
    txt = lo_cx_ai_system_fault->get_text( ).
    WRITE txt.
    CATCH z_cx_test_fault INTO lo_cx_test_fault.
    txt = lo_cx_standard_message_fault->get_text( ).
    WRITE txt.
    CATCH cx_ai_application_fault INTO lo_cx_ai_application_fault.
    txt = lo_cx_ai_application_fault->get_text( ).
    WRITE txt.
    when i test the inbound proxy separately I get the custom fault message properly...
    however when i run the proxy to proxy sync scenario and the custom exceptionz_cx_test_fault  is raised inside the receiver proxy .......control goes to CATCH cx_ai_application_fault    and not CATCH  z_cx_test_fault .
    I understand that cx_ai_application_fault is the super class of all the exception class but why does control go to its exception handling when a custom exception is raised...

    Hi
    I tried changing the sequence also but it did not work...
    I can see an appropriate response coming from the receiver in SXMB_MONI of PI...this response has the "fault response "
    "fault detail" data that I want.....however when the control goes to the sender why does it go to CATCH CX_AI_APPLICATION_FAULT and not not my CATCH z_cx_test_fault .
    My observation - If I change the scenario to SOAP to Proxy sync..then the sender SOAP client gets the appropriate custom fault message back.

  • U0093Addn to stocku0094 for putaway strategy u0093 u0093  in storage type not working

    Hi
    It seems that the flag “Addn to stock” for putaway strategy “ “  in the storage type 103 configuration is not working fine as the quantities of the same material with the same batch sent to the same stype 103, and destination bin are not being added. So by running stock report in WM we see several lines with partial quantities instead of only one line with the total quantity in place. Do anybody know how can that be solved? Or what can be the route cause of the issue? Is there any OSS known applicable to fix the problem?
    Thx for your help

  • Import - sort by "media type" not working?

    When importing media from my iphone I'd like to ONLY import jpgs, not the mov files. In searching, the sort option in the import dialog on "media type" should work so I can easily just select new jpg files, however this does nothing for me. Is this supposed to work? I'm running OSX 10.7.2 and LR 3.6.
    Any ideas? Does this sort function work for anyone?
    Thanks!

    Ok.  Never mind what I said about selecting the sort order before selecting the folder.
    I just checked again on my computer and (LR3) was able to sort by media type, by date, by name etc. from a folder on my desktop drives.
    It even worked when importing from a media card.  This is weird.
    Although everything seems to work for me now however I do remember having encountered the same issue before.
    There might be a bug.  It would be nice to have someone from Adobe or LR to explain the limitations if any of this sort function.
    Good Luck Marty.

  • Canon Lide 60 Scanner does not work on Mountain Lion

    Hi! Is anybody out there who would know how my good old Canon Lide 60 would work with OSX 10.8? Canon says Mountain Lion ist not supported on this device. Anyone an idea what to do without buying a new one? Thank you!

    I also was looking for a working driver for ML 10.8
    i bought a new canon scanner Lide 110 it's working perfect.
    I tried my old scanner( Canon Lide 60) or it should work with this installed canon driver
    i'am surprised my old scanner, lide 60  is working min Ml 10.8.4
    photoloader does not recognise it. But Vuescan does. i use Vuescan 9.2.21
    so the Lide 110 software works on 10.8 en higher for the Lide 60

  • Capture limit not working FCP 4.5 - Please help

    I'm trying to import some analog footage (VHS) using a JVC SR-VS30 deck and the capture limit setting is not working, FCP just keeps capturing no matter what I set the time limit to. I have searched this forum as well as others and have yet to find an answer as to how to get it to work.
    I have tried three different analog to DV devices (DSR-50, Elura 85 and the JVC deck).
    Input is set to non-controllable device. (I'm using the VHS side of the JVC so no deck control or time code)
    I have deleted the 3 preference files, no change
    No anti Virus software is on this machine.
    Created a new user to see if that had any effect, no change.
    I notice some other users have had this issue has anyone solved it but not posted the resolution to the problem?
    Thanks in advance for any and all help

    Looks like interlacing. It's normal on a television signal. If you're trying to get it rid of it when exporting you should try your question on the FCP forum because you have a lot of different options from Final Cut Express. Explain how you're exporting and where you're trying to get to with the export.

  • Capture Project not working

    I'm having trouble re-capturing some deleted files. When I go to capture it, it prepares the camera (Canon ZR 600), goes through all the footage and even gives a dialogue box where I can select finish. But the red slashes never go away and I can't find it on my disk any where.
    I'm using FCE 3.0 with an G5 iMac (pre-isight).
    Another user told me to find the captured file b4 I click finish and duplicate the file b4 it gets deleted but there's nothing there to duplicate.
    So, the question is, how can it seem like it's capturing but not really capture anything?
    I'm not a newbie but I've never had to re-capture a file before so I'm at a loss.
    Thanks for any help.

    Did you solve the re-capture problem?
    Because I lost my footage on the disk. I have the project file, but I can't re-capture my HD footage. So can you please help?

  • Canon powershot s110 power button not working

    camera only turne on and off by inserting and removing the battery-power button does not work for intended use ? Canon powershot s110.

    This sounds like the power button might be stuck in the on position. If the camera is new, this should be repaired under warranty. Has the camera been in any dusty environments lately? There may be some dirt by the power button that is preventing the proper operation of the power button. Has the camera been exposed to any dampness that might have shortened out the circuit board that has the power button on it? If so, that board/button combination would need to be replaced. I would have it checked out by an authorized Canon dealer to make sure of the exact problem and repair.
    You could first try a reset of the camera in the menu options. You might get lucky.
