Canon Rebel XTI question

After using a digital point and shoot for the last 5+ years, I have finally entered the DSLR world. I just purchased a Canon Rebel XTI last week. I haven't attempted to upload any pictures to iPhoto yet. Do I need to install any of Canon's software before I upload the pictures or will it work automatically?

jsanders6,
My wife has a Canon XTi (and Macbook) and there was no need to download the Canon software.
I have a Canon D20 (and Macbook Pro) and it too loads directly into iPhoto with no difficulty.
Apple has a listing of "compatible" digital cameras,but even some cameras not listed may load without difficulty.
I would not load the Canon software,especially if you plan on using iPhoto to manage your library of photos.
Good luck,
Scott

  • Problem Importing photos from Canon Rebel XTi -- Iphoto '08

    When I plug in USB cord to camera and MacBook, then turn on my Canon Rebel XTi, iPhoto opens up but will not read the CF card. The status light on the camera just blinks red as if it working on it but it never does show the photos in iPhoto08 and the camera doesn't show up on the sidebar either although it used to but doesn't anymore.
    I know that my CF card is ok because when I use it in my Canon Powershot S400 it works fine, and I'm able to import photos fine.
    Help please?

    Thanks, I'm fairly certain that WILL work since the card works with iPhoto in my other camera fine.
    I don't have a card reader and I'd like to figure out how to fix the problem I have with my Rebel XTi. Any suggestions on that?

  • Windows 7 64 bit canon rebel xti compatibility issue

    I am having trouble to get my canon rebel xti (400D) to work under windows 7 64 bit. You see the canon camera icon in the devices and printers window with a yellow triangle indicating it's not working properly. Did anyone have the same issue and even got an answer to it?
    Thanks.

    I believe I have a solution for you and any other XTi owners who don't have the "Print/PTP" option in their menu.  I was able to get my XTi to function with Windows 7 64-bit last night.  Here is what I did:
    1) Installed the default Canon utilities disk that came with the camera (which installed without an issue, but wouldn't recognize the camera).
    2) I downloaded the updated EOS Utility version 2.6.1 for Windows Vista x64 from here:http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDetailTabAct&fcategoryid=314&modelid=14256
    3) I installed the default Canon utilities disk that came with the camera (which installed and opened without an issue, but wouldn't recognize the camera to download pictures).
    4) I executed the 2.6.1 EOS Utility update that I downloaded and received the following error: "Installation program of EOS Utility requires administrator priveleges" even though it was being run as an administrator.  Any compatibility options that I selected on the installation resulted in the same error.
    5) When you receive the error mentioned in the prior step, DON'T click the "OK" button.  First, navigate to the follwing path: "C:\Users\admin-user\AppData\Local\Temp\".  Inside this directory, you should see a directory named something like "CanonUPW_000".  Copy this whole directory to another location, then click "OK" on the installation program error on the screen (which removes the directory you just copied). 
    6) Open the directory that you copied in the last step and navigate to the following location: ".\CanonUPW_000\INST\INSTALL\COMMON".  You should find an "Install.exe" file in this directory.
    7) Open the properties of this "Install.exe" file, then select the "Compatibility" tab.
    8) Select the "Change settings for all users" button and select the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3).
    9) Under the "Privilege Level" section, select the "Run this program as an administrator", then click OK twice.
    10) Execute the "Install.exe" file.  The installation should start and finish succeffully.
    11) The EOS Utility should successfully open after you execute it (following the installation).
    12) The only thing that doesn't work exactly the same as with using EOS Utility with XP.  When you plug your camera in, the program doesn't automatically open.  After opening the EOS Utility, you can connect the camera and download pictures, or utilize the software's remote control function. 
    I hope this works as well for you as it did for me.

  • I have downloaded pictures to iphoto from my Canon Rebel XTI.  I can not email or move any pictures that are vertical.  When I double click on the photo to enlarge it the screen fills with an exclamation mark.  I need to email these photos out.  HELP!

    This:

    is why you can't do this:
    I can not email or move any pictures that are vertical.
    It means that iPhoto can't find the photos.
    What version of iPhoto?

  • Canon Rebel Xti/400D Will not download Photos

    I have a canon Rebel XTi/400D . Up until recently I had no Problem downloading photos from the camera onto the MacBook. I recently downloaded an update OS 10.8.3  and can no longer download the photos .

    Here is why my Canon camera died.  There was a loose piece I could hear rattling around inside the camera body so I disassembled the body in order to open the body and see what fell out.  When I opened the bottom of the body a small silver screw fell out of the body.  Apparently this happens to be a problem with this model and maybe others.  A screw from the motherboard backs itself out and rolls around inside the camera body shorting out the DC/DC power board and blowing the fuse labeled "P" on the power board. When I placed a meter across this fuse it reads infinity instead of a normal dead short.
    How does a screw located inside of a camera body unscrew itself.  This is not a software issue or a failed electronics issue and this camera would still be working rihgt now if the screw had not backed out and shorted out my camera.  Canon's answer is of course that they no longer service this camera.
    It sounds as though you have two options:
    1)  Admit that it's time for an upgrade and take advantage of Canon's "Loyalty Program" to get a new camera at a good price. The XTi was a pretty decent camera in its day (my wife and I each had one), but more recent Rebels are far better. My wife's current camera, a T2i, is a major improvement, and there have been several new models since.
    2)  Since you're obviously not a newbie, try to do the repair yourself. Look around for an XTi that still turns on, but has a cracked sensor, worn-out shutter, or other fatal flaw (such a camera should be available for a pittance), and re-use its power board. You have nothing to lose but a few hours of your time.

  • Downloading raw images from Canon Rebel XTi and problem with Border FX

    Aperture no longer downloads raw images from my Canon 400D / Rebel Xti and installed Lexar Professional UDMA card. I am able to download images to my Dell laptop. This is a new phenomenon only occurring since about 10 days ago. I am currently able to download images from my Canon 5D.
    Also, my computer has locked up 4 times today when I have been starting Border FX. I have seen a screen saying that I have to restart my computer by holding down the on button. I have the most recent version of the Border FX software.
    Any suggestions please?

    Join the crowd! I just started to experience exactly the same thing on both of my systems. Apparently the latest raw camera drivers broke something related to Canon Rebel cameras. I'm using the Rebel XT.
    I tried a quick experiment the other day. I shot a bunch of test photos forcing the camera to store them as JPEGs. I was able to download those without a problem. I then forced the camera back to raw mode and shot a few more pictures on the same memory card. The JPEGs that I was able to download previously no longer will download and neither will the raw files.
    I tried reverting to the older camera raw driver on my notebook but for some reason it won't let me do that. I haven't tried reverting on the desktop yet.
    Hopefully this problem is fixed quickly. I've got a ton of pictures from a recent vacation I'd like to off load.
    By the way, this affects the iPhoto, Aperture and Image Capture apps.

  • CS2 BRIDGE- CANON REBEL XTi

    I HAVE A CANON XTi. WHEN I TAKE IMAGES IN RAW, ADOBE BRIDGE DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THEM.
    ANY SUGGESTIONS. THANKS DON LYTTON

    Any and all updates of ACR are released in tandem with the free, stand alone Adobe DNG Converter, which in each release supports the same camera models that ACR does. It does not need any version of Photoshop to work.
    Therefore, you can use the latest release of the DNG Converter, at this time DNG Converter 4.3.1, to convert your files to raw DNG files that can be opened in any version of ACR starting with ACR 2.4.
    If you have Photoshop CS2, use ACR 3.7.

  • Canon Rebel T5i question - smudge/scratch in viewfinder

    Hey everyone, I recently purchased a t5i and it was the store's display model (they display their models OFF and the shutter count was only at 54 after taking some photos). It looks like there is a smudge/scratch on one of the mirrors or the sensor inside the camera and was wondering what I could do to fix this. It was visible through the viewfinder but I cleaned it a little bit to where it's rarely noticeable through the viewfinder when the 18-55 lens is connected, however you can still see it just by looking at where the sensor is. I have pictures to describe what it is. I believe it is the mirror/glass part on the roof of the inside but I would like a second opinion. Thank you! (Might I add this doesn't affect my images or video, they still come out fine)

    ^^ agree!
    The screen is delicate.  The screen is not in the image path for the camera -- meaning if you have dust on the screen it will not appear in the images you capture (you only see through the screen when composing and focusing through the optical viewfinder.)  
    If it does get dust on it, nothing more than a hand-squeeze air blower (e.g. such as a Giottos Rocket Air blower) should be used to dislodge the dust.  Don't physically "touch" the screen.  
    Some Canon cameras have optional focusing screens (e.g. screens with gridlines for compositional aid; screens with extra-fine surface texture to allow for more accuate manual focus, etc.) and these screens come with a tool which resembles a pair of tweezers designed to clamp on to a tiny tab at the edge of the screen because it is so important that you not get your fingers anywhere near it.  (Canon does not make optional focus screens for Rebel series bodies ... but the focus screens on all cameras are basically designed to work the same -- so the same precautions that apply to cameras that DO have user-replaceable focus screens also apply to your camera.)

  • Battery for canon Rebel xti eos 400D

    where do I find the battery that runs the date and time?

    Hi gorja55,
    Thank you for the post.  The date/time battery is inside the battery compartment of the camera.  If you remove the battery that powers the camera, along the front edge of the battery compartment you should see a slide out battery holder tray that has "CR2016 3V" written on it.  If you slide the tray out, you can replace the CR2016 lithium battery that holds the date/time settings in the camera.

  • PSE7, Windows 7 (64bit) and Rebel Xti

    I upgraded my computer a few months ago and installed PSE7. Everything seems to work fine so far... except for one little glitch with my Canon Rebel Xti. When I connect the camera to the computer to download new photos, the automatic dialogue box that used to come up in Elements when I was using Windows XP doesn't come up automatically anymore. Instead I actually have to open the Elements Editor and manually select "Get Photos". Not a huge deal, just a few extra steps. I thought it had something to do with my settings - either for my camera director or possibly for PSE7, but if that's the case, I can't seem to figure it out. Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    There is a driver released back in July '09 that supports Windows 7 64bit.

  • Canon EOS 6D also detected as Rebel XTi camera device?

    In Winows 7 x64 whenever I plug in my EOS 6D, the EOS 6D device plus the Rebel XTi device shows up.
    I used to have a Rebel XTi, but that's the camera I upgraded.  I don't know why Windows thinks the EOS 6D is both a Rebel XTi and a 6D.
    The Rebel XTi device is detected even when the Camera switch is in the OFF position and plugged into USB.  The 6D device is only detected when the switch is in the ON position.
    I installed the 6D software from the CD but I didn't see any prior Canon software to uninstall first.
    How do I stop the XTi device from showing up?

    ddbear,
    To delete the EOS Rebel XTi, you would want to open the Device Manager the next time it's connected.  Then Find the cameras in the Device Manager.  Then you right click on the camera and click Remove or Uninstall.  This will remove the device from within your computer.  Leave your EOS 6D installed to you can still connect.
    If this is an urgent request, please contact us directly using our support and service site.

  • Canon Digital Rebel XTi RAW support?

    I just purchased a Canon Digital Rebel XTi and cannot get RAW files to import into iPhoto. I even tried the Image Capture trick (downloading to disk and then importing) to no avail. The file format is listed as CR2, which is supposed to be supported. Is it possible that Canon is using a different variant of the CR2 format for this camera and that I'll have to wait for another iPhoto or OS X update?

    I'm having the same issue - RAW images (both sRGB and AdobeRGB) from the new Rebel XTi will not open in iPhoto.
    It is important to note that the same images will not open in Photoshop CS2, nor with Adobe Bridge 1.0 and even with the updated Bridge 1.0.4.6.
    I would hope that Apple will recognize that there is a significant difference in file format from the Rebel XT and the Rebel XTi - and that Apple will issue an update to iPhoto accordingly.
    For now, looks like Rebel XTi users will need to limp along on Canon's proprietary (and u-u-ugly) software provided with the XTi.

  • I am trying to download pictures from my canon rebel  eos to my Ipad but i get the message "this device is not supported" what can I do ?

    I just bought an Apple Lighting to USB Camera Adapter. When I got home to and connected it to my Canon Rebel EOS Digital Camera. I received the error message "This device is not supported" I was wondering if there is any software or drivers I need to download?
    Thanks
    Don

    I use Canon Cameras and have no problems downloading photos from the camera to the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter. My questions and suggestions might be basic but just to make sure:
    1. This is an iPad forum area. Are you using the lightning to USB camera adapter with an iPad? Your info in your original post says iPod. I'm not sure that the adapter works with an iPod.
    2. After you connect the adapter to your iPad and then use a USB cable to connect the adapter to the camera did you turn on the camera?
    3. If you did turn on the camera and still did not get the import of photos to start try a reset your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. This will not cause any data loss.

    Wow. I just installed the universal version of this update and now my iMac won't boot. How swell... It sits at the white screen.
    I can hold down the power button and turn it off and on, but that's it. I've tried booting from CD by holding down C and zapping the PRAM and it still just sits at that white screen. I've unplugged it and am going to leave it for about 15 minutes and see if that does it.
    Has anyone else had this problem?

  • Proper sequence settings for importing Canon Rebel T2i footage

    Greetings, all. I searched the forum and didn't find this question answered elsewhere, so I thought I'd ask.
    I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, version 4.2.1, and I'm trying to find the ideal sequence settings for the Canon Rebel T2i, which records in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, with adjustable frame rate. I am running on Apple Mac OSX 10.8.2.
    I've been editing with this footage for over a year now, and it's always been a struggle because I have to render all footage before I can even play it in Premiere. When first imported, the render bar above the timeline is yellow.
    I'd like to see if I'm doing this incorrectly; to know if I have a simple sequence setting that's incorrect. What sequence settings should I use for my imported footage to start out green and not require a lengty render for video that isn't even edited yet?
    Thank you,
    -Matt

    >When first imported, the render bar above the timeline is yellow
    I think this is written for CS5, but the concept should be the same
