Canon powershot s5 image acquisition

Hi.
Am I able to control/acquire images from a Canon Powershot S5 IS digital camera in LV 8.6?
I have managed to get this working with a simple USB webcam, using the NI-IMAQ for USB, but I can't find the Canon camera in IMAQ (it works with its own software).
Is this a driver issue since I think the Canon uses a TWAIN driver?
Thanks

You might look at HYtek Automation's PTPCam Toolkit. The link indicates that many cameras are configured as USB storage devices as default. You may need to change your camera to PTP mode in order to see it as an imaging device.

I can't see previews of RAW images from a Canon PowerShot G16 in Lightroom 4

I can't see previews of RAW images from a Canon PowerShot G16 in Lightroom 4?

For that camera, you need at least Lightroom 5.2. The alternative would be to use the DNG converter, version 8.2 or later. Or, you can upgrade to Lightroom 5.

Unsupported Image Format - Canon Powershot S110

I am having issues after moving from a Macbook Air 13" to a Macbook Pro 13" Retina. I have a Canon Powershot S110 that I use when
I travel. I normally use a 1DS Mark II. The S110 is a new camera on the market and was unsupported in Aperture until version 3.4... When I updated the software on the Air to 3.4.2, I believe, the file format finally was recognized and life was good. However, I have now transferred everything over to the Pro 13" Retina and I cannot get it to recognize the image format... I have been to the Apple Store and worked for two hours with a Genius and nothing. I have tried completely wiping the drive and reinstalling the most recent version of the OS and then only installing Aperture 3.4.3 and it still will not work... I do not understand how it could be working on the Air and not on the Pro. I would greatly appreciate any insight any of you may have. Thanks!

Looks like there's an issue with attempting to install the latest RAW update on the recently-announced Macs.
You'll need to edit your /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist file to be able to install it, then change it back after the install is done. If you're comfortable with the Terminal you can use pico/vi/emacs to change the ProductBuildVersion from 12C2034 to 12C1999, do the install, then change it back.
If you're not comfortable with the Terminal, then navigate through your "System" folder on your hard drive to find the "SystemVersion.plist" file, copy it to your desktop, then make another copy of it (for backup purposes). Open it in TextEdit to change the ProductBuildVersion from 12C2034 to 12C1999. Copy the edited version back to the CoreServices folder, and you should be able to install the RAW updater.
After the install is finished, change the version number back by renaming the backup copy you made back to its original name and copy that back into the CoreServices folder.

IPhoto / Image Capture doesn't find Canon Powershot Camera

Since I upgraded to Lion, my Macbook no longer sees my Canon Powershot SD 1200IS camera. Tried using iPhoto and Image Capture (following someone else's suggestion). No SD slot on my Macbook. Is there another solution?

Canon Powershot images not readable

I have a client who uses a Canon Powershot A560. The jpgs taken by the camera can't be read on my Mac. I've noticed that others have this problem, too, but I haven't found a solution. I've had the client use the Image Browser utility that comes with the camera to export the images to different formats, but none of those can be read, either.
What is Canon doing to the images that causes them to deviate from standard file format? Is there a utility of some sort that I can use on my Mac to read them?
I've reviewed Canon's support areas but can't find a solution. Since I don't own the camera, I can't get tech support, either. Thanks for any tips.

Rather than blame Canon I would suspect a single dodgy camera. Can these pics be read on any Machine? Mac or Windows?

Canon powershot g11 not connecting after mavericks update

After update to Mavericks cannot connect my Canon Powershot G11, led ligts blinks green on camera, Preview opens, but not showing photos from camera and window not opens. Whats up?

Have you tried using the Image Capture app located in your Applications folder?
You can Import photos to the Preview app from there if you want or another photo editing app you have installed.

Iv'e upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8 and now microsoft office 2004 and my canon powershot camera software will not work. any suggestions?

I just upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8. Now my Microsoft office applications,(word, excel, ppt) and my camera software to transfer picts from my camera will not launch. (Separate apps but all stopped working as soon as I upgraded from 10.5.8). The software for the Canon Powershot is Ver.37.2. Image browser 6.2 EOS utility 1.1. Any help would be appreciated.
Also if you could tell me what happens to the individual jpegs that get imported through iPhoto, I would go back to using that instead of the Canon software. I want to be able to go into a folder and see all the jpegs and not have to rely on iPhoto's one enormous file. What happens if that iPhoto file gets corrupt? Thanks, Leesha

Actually, Microsoft Office 2004 works fine with Snow Lepoard OS 10.6.x. However, it does require Rosetta, Apple's app for Classic apps. In your upgrade from Lepoard 10.5.8, Rosetta may not have installed but you can manually install it with the instructions here.
On another note, when upgrading the OS, some anomalies get resolved by repairing disk permissions with Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
One more note, there was an issue with Rosetta crashing with OS 10.6.8 in February 2012. Apple released a security update that fixed it. You can see if Software Update (launch from the Apple menu) shows it or manually download Security Update 2012-001 v1.1 and install it. Software Update will also show other applicable apps available for updating for your upgraded system.
Rosetta is no longer available with OS 10.7 Lion and beyond. Then you will need to upgrade MS Office 2011 for Mac.

HT201317 Can I access my photos loaded onto my iPad 2 from a Canon Powershot on my iMac running 10.6.8?

I recently took approximately 300 pictures with a Canon Powershot camera during a 2 week vacation. During this time frame I put the photos onto my iPad 2 via an adapter and deleted them from my camera's memory card. Upon return my camera and iPad 2 were stolen. Fortunately I had Photo Stream on and the photos were stored in the cloud. I have since replaced the iPad 2 with the latest iPad and have the photos. I am now attempting to load them onto my iMac and am not able to do it. I am assuming because I have a 7-year old iMac running version 10.6.8 of Snow Leopard I will be able to access and properly store my photos. I am correct?

Save the photos to the camera roll on the iPad, then connect it to your computer with a USB cable. You can import the photos using iPhoto if you have it or image capture if you don't.

Is there a way to import photos from Canon Powershot S45 after downloading Yosemite?

Is there a way to import photos from a Canon Powershot S45 after downloading Yosemite?

I was reading another post yesterday about a Canon PowerShot S40 owner who previously used Image Capture to bring the images into the computer. They reached out to Canon and were returned a response stating that the drivers weren't compatible for OS X Yosemite. The best bet would be a card reader. The JPEG files are still going to be the same, but connecting with a USB cable directly to the camera isn't feasible any more. Head to the nearest Best Buy and pick up a USB card reader and you'll be able to see your pictures in Finder and can then import them to iPhoto or wherever you keep your pictures.

Canon PowerShot SX280 HS disconnects while transferring photos

I have a Canon PowerShot SX280 HS. I can connect it to wifi. It finds my iPhone and works well with the app.
It finds my iMac and it connects: software starts, transfer of images starts, but then the camera is disconnected suddenly, message:
"The camera has been disconnected. The software will now close."
I don't know why it gets disconnected.

Hi
I have recieved a responce from Canon, they asked me to download and install this version:
http://support-my.canon-asia.com/contents/MY/EN/0200234102.html

Canon Powershot

Just bought this for my husband because it specifically mentions panorama mode, which he wanted in the description listed.
***Shoot crisp photos and video clips with this Canon PowerShot A2300 6192B001 digital camera that features optical image stabilization and up to 1280 x 720 image resolution. Panorama mode lets you capture stunning vista shots.*** However, we can't figure out how to do it and the manual mentions nothing about it. PLEASE HELP!!

I'm afraid the description you read - from the Best Buy website it seems - was wrong. That is a low-end basic camera and does not - or would ever - have that feature. Canon used to have software you could use to make panoramic photos but I'm not sure if they still offer that but you can find third-party software that will make a panorama from several photos. Some of the high-end Canon cameras do have panorama features but none of the low-end ones do.

Is the Canon Powershot S2 IS Digital Camera compatible with an ipod photo?

I'm going on a roadtrip to the northwest next month and was wondering if anyone knows whether the Canon Powershot S2 IS Digital Camera compatible with an ipod photo?

You cannot, with a PC or a Mac, transfer photos from a camera directly to the iPod. You need to download the images from the camera to your computer first, then move the pictures from the computer to the iPod.
Not quite sure about that - from the Apple Store (UK):
Simply plug the iPod Camera Connector into the iPod dock connector, plug your camera’s USB cable and watch your images make their way to the iPod, ready to view in a slide show!
Compatible with iPod with color display.
Not compatible with iPod nano.
Requires iPod software v1.1.
See http://www.apple.com/ipod/compatibility/cameraconnector.html for supported cameras.

Canon 350D Raw images not recognised

Hi,
I'm using a Canon 350D (UK version of Digital Rebel XT) and OS X (specifically preview and iPhoto) won't recognise the .cr2 raw images it produces.
The images have finder thumbnails but if I try to open them I get:
The document "xxx.cr2" could not be opened.
Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn't recognize.
In iPhoto I get an 'Unreadable files' alert telling me it can't read them and then lists the files.
I know that it should work fine and am stuck in terms of what I'm doing wrong.
This problem has existed since I was on 10.4.7 when I bought the computer and camera - I'm now on 10.4.9. I did download the Aperture trial to see if that helped and had the same problems. Reinstalling OS X made no difference.
Any ideas?

Imac 20" C2D Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Actually, I was getting support for my Canon Powershot S50 in 10.4.8 (at least I could open the Raw files, although Image Capture mysteriously stopped downloading them from the camera), after doing the 10.4.9 Combo update Preview announced it could not open the files. I went in and hacked this file:
"/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Raw.plist"
Changed the entry for Canon S60 (which I don't have) to Canon S50. Preview will now open the files, haven't tried Image Capture yet to see if it is still broken (works fine in Panther BTW). See this discussion in MacOSXHints:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20051101035330228
It worked sort of for me (at least I can open the Raw files I already have).

Can't import RAW files from Canon Powershot S50.

iPhoto6 will not import RAW files from my Canon Powershot S50. It says the files are "unreadable". Image capture will import to the desktop, but neither iPhoto nor Photoshop Elements can open the file. I checked and the S50 is supposed to be compatible with OSX and RAW files.

I agree but I was responding to someone with an S50. That's hardly an "advanced amateur" camera. iPhoto has some rather neat catalog features but the editing is purely for the snapshooter. Heck, I suspect that redeye removal is the most popular feature and, as far as I'm concerned, if you have redeye to begin with, you're a snapshooter.
I'm an extremely advanced amateur with my film setup but, because of cost, I'm still a snapshooter with my digital camera. My film setup is two Nikon N80s with a top-of-the-line Nikon flash head that I use only with a Stroboframe bracket. The bracket and the necessary extension cord cost me nearly $200! My lenses are pure Nikon, including a single focal length f/1.8, 85 mm. portrait lens.
I consider 10 MP to be the bare minimum for "advanced amateur" shooting and both Canon and Nikon have recently introduced 10MP SLRs in the $1000 range. However, I'm waiting for the next advance - an SLR without the reflex mechanism - interchangeable lenses and an FP shutter but no mirror! Let's face it, the reflex mechanism adds cost but a digital screen gives the same view and even better (you can see the color balance) and screens are now available that can be viewed in bright sunlight.
I'm also hoping for one thing that will probably never happen - physically larger CCDs so that I can get the same focus control (small depth of field) that I can get with my film camera.

Problems with Canon PowerShot SD450 movies and iPhoto (6.0.2)

I recently got a Canon PowerShot SD450 and got a 2GB memory stick for it. I took some movies with the SD450 but am having a **** of a time getting iPhoto to pull movies off the camera that are > 500MB, give or take. Small movies are fine. I've downloaded movies that are 10MB, 50MB, 200MB, all fine.
When I have a > 500MB movie in the camera, iPhoto will try to download it; The hard drive will spin and grind for a few minutes as it, from what I can gather, downloads the movie and then iPhoto will say import complete, but the movie doesn't show up in the library.
Anyone aware of any limitations with iPhoto in that regard? Clip size or something?

Hi Jason,
When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD.
The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.
