EOS 5D Mark II fails to connect (Code 43) but 5D Mark III connects fine!

For a number of years before yesterday, I have tethered my 5D Mark II to my Dell Studio 1735 via a 5 meter long USB cable without a single problem. Laptop runs Windows 7 32-bits. Then yesterday, I tripped on the cable and slightly bent the mini USB connector. Nothing was broken as the cable continues to function but as soon as I turned off the camera to change a lens, from that point onwards, it's nothing but the following ...
Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)
Port_#0001.Hub_#0004
... I've tried every tip on the web to no avail - including resetting the laptop, taking out the battery and leaving it for 10-30 minutes. I've even left it overnight and no help either. I've uninstalled USB ports etc I just don't know what to do any more and being able to review images on the laptop is critical to my work.It's only the 5D Mark II that's having problems .. all other USB devices connect and disconnect without a hitch.
I have 2 5D Mark II and both cameras trip the same error even when I use a different USB cable.
Help!

Shimworld,
The best thing to do right now is to rule out whether or not the USB port on the camera is what caused the error in Windows.  Try connecting the camera to another computer. 
If the camera connects just fine to the other computer, then there is something wrong in Windows that will need to be corrected.  We will be happy to help with this if you Contact Us directly, as this may require some more in-depth troubleshooting.
If the camera does not connect properly to the other computer and you receive a similar error, then there may be a problem with the USB port on the camera.  If this turns out to be the problem, the camera will need to be repaired by our Factory Service Center.  To start the repair process, you'll need to complete a Repair Request on our website.

  • EOS 5D Mark III Firmware Update: Clean HDMI Output and AF Improvements Explained

    Canon has released an important firmware upgrade for the EOS 5D Mark III that will undoubtedly benefit DSLR cinematographers and still shooters alike. The 1.2.1 update enables the camera to record clean, uncompressed digital video data (YCbCr 4:2:2 8 bit) with encoded time code over the HDMI output, while simultaneously displaying video on the rear LCD and recording internally to CF or SD cards. This adds an enormous amount of flexibility to what is already one of the world’s top DSLR camera choices.

    Hi,
    I am using my 5D Mark III with the Black Magic HyperDeck Shuttle 2 and I can't figure out how to get the camera to trigger the deck to record automatically.
    Any ideas?  I thought I set all the menu settings correctly in camerra with the new firmware.
    Thanks,

  • Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III RAW support PLEASE!

    Seriously, the camera was announced in August 2007. 6 months have passed and Apple has failed to provide a RAW support update for this camera!
    Why is this program targeted towards professionals if RAW support takes longer than a half a year?
    If this goes on much longer, I might have to make the dreaded switch to Lightroom. And i truly do not want to do that.
    Sorry, I am upset.

    Large Photographic software developers (of which I'd consider Apple, with its iPhoto and Aperture applications, to be part of the group) can get early access to preproduction copies these high end cameras so their RAW definitions can be nearly complete at camera rollout time.
    This is a process problem that Apple has (batching RAW definition creation and distribution for all cameras, mostly all those digicams, with OS updates). Apple needs to see this (time delay) is a problem for their Pro application users and set up a new process to to fast-track DSLR RAW definitions (creation/distribution).
    The E-3 has been waiting since its release in October as well.
    Word is that the new Nikon Defs are in the OS X 10.5.2 update (according to beta testers), so the E-3 and Cannon EOS 1Ds Mark III is probably in there too. Couple of weeks now...would be the expectation...no word on what you'd do if you're running 10.4.

  • EOS 5D Mark III ratings don't transfer to LR 4.1

    I can't see that ratings transfer to Adobe Lightroom 4.1, but they do transfer to Canon DPP just fine. I think I've looked through all EXIF and IPTC fields and can't find the ratings data anywhere in LR. Where is it supposed to show in Lightroom?
    My workflow:
    - Rate RAW images in EOS 5D Mark III on compact flash
    - Remove compact flash form 5D and plug in to USB card reader.
    - Import in Lightroom 4.1 using LR's import function (on Windows Vista 32-bit SP3)
    I can't see any ratings in LR, but when looking at the images in DPP and in Windows Explorer (with latest Canon RAW codec) the ratings are there. As I can see the ratings in DPP and Explorer it feels like a setting in Lightroom isn't right.
    Any help on this issue would be great.

    That might be true, but I've read on numerous sites (e.g. http://www.wired.com/reviews/2012/06/canon-eos-5d-mark-iii/, http://mansurovs.com/canon-5d-mark-iii-review, http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/star_ratings_set_in_5d_mark_iii_not_ transferred_to_lightroom_v4) that in-camera ratings are transferred to LR. It just doens't seem to work for me.
    Any help on this issue is very welcome.

  • Nutzt Lightroom die Korrekturdaten für Vignettierung und Aberration der Canon EOS 5D Mark III?

    Hallo,
    in der Canon EOS 5D Mark III, und auch weiteren Kameras, kann man ja direkt die Objektivkorrektur für Vignettierung und Aberration aktivieren, so dass diese beim RAW-Bild hinterlegt sind.
    Wisst ihr zufällig ob Lightroom diese Daten auch verwendet und verarbeitet?
    Meinen Versuchen zufolge scheinen diese Daten nicht verwendet zu werden.
    Hintergrund ist dass die Korrekturdaten von Canon natürlich schneller zur Verfügung stehen als von Lightroom bzw. auch vollständiger, da u. a. keine Korrekturdaten von meinem Objektiv mit 2x III Extender zur Verfügung stehen, Canon diese jedoch schon hat.
    Vielen Dank!

    Ich habe sie seit einiger Zeit, bin mit dem Rauschverhalten sehr glücklich und man kann sogar die H-Einstellung 3200 gut verwenden, wenn man exakt belichtet und nachher noch einen Rauschfilter verwendet bzw RAW fotografiert. Allerdings kenne ich die 1d Mk II selbst in der Praxis nicht und habe keinen vergleich, die Kollegen sind eigentlich auch mit deren Rauschverhalten ganz zufrieden. Allerdings haben immer mehr 1D-Nutzer zusätzlich noch eine 5D. Nur ist die 5D im Vergleich seeeeehr gemäääääähhchchlichh... mit den 3B/s. Wenn dich das nicht stört... Auch den Autofokus finde ich im Vergleich zu 20D , die ich auch noch habe, noch zuverlässiger, insbesondere mit dem Sigma 2,8/120-300. Das machte bei der 20D gelegentlich Probleme, mit der 5D eigentlich gar nicht mehr.
    Andererseits hat ein Fotokollege, dem ich sein 2,8/300 von Canon abkaufen wollte, einen kleinen Test durchgeführt. Er wollte sehen, wie viel besser meine 5D gegen seine 1DmkII ist (er ist auch Agenturfotograf). Er hatte bei ISO 100/400 ein paar Vergleichsbilder gemacht. Letzlich kam er zum Ergebnis, dass eine 5D keinen richtigen Qualitätssprung darstellt - er hat sich jetzt eine 1Ds MkII mit 16 MP gekauft und ist super zufrieden. Wobei die 5D bei hohen ISO laut ColorFoto besser als die 1Ds sein soll. Einen echten vergleich konnte ich selbst zur 1Ds mit der 5D nicht machen.
    Andererseits war aus meiner 5D das Sigma 120-300 bei 300 mm nicht sichtbar schlechter als das Canon und "nur" wegen dem IS wollte ich das Geld auch nicht ausgeben und Zoomen ist manchemal saupraktisch... nur sind die 300 mm bei Sigma etwas weniger als bei Canon - liegt wohl an der Toleranz, ebenso, wie sie 2,8 da nicht wirklich 2,8 dondern eher 3,2 oder 3,5.
    Wie lautete nochmal die Frage??
    ;o)

    Hi WC!
    Thanks for posting on the forum.
    It is very likely that the issue is with the cards you have tried and not the camera. 
    You mentioned that you were going to try a faster card. 
    Were you able to do so yet? 
    If so, how did the faster card perform?
    Do you experience the same issue when recording to a high-speed CF card instead of an SD card?

  • Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III and Aperture 2?

    I was wondering if anyone using a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III can confirm if they're able to shoot tethered using Aperture 2? Though it's listed under the RAW support page, this model of camera is not supported in the knowledge base article called: Tips on tethered shooting.
    I tried the demo and though it registered my camera, it wouldn't allow me to capture. Not sure if it's a limitation of the demo, or ignorance on my part. If you know for certain one way or another, please share.
    Thanks.

    To the best of my knowledge the tethered shooting does not work with any of the newer Canon DSLRs. A workaround that may be good for you is the Aperture hot folder script that I used with Aperture 1.5. If you can't find t just hit the thread back.

  • Canon EOS 5d Mark III

    I bought yesterday the Canon EOS 5D Mark III, when can I get the Camera RAW 6.7 for Lightroom 4.0?

    Several abusive replies have been deleted from this discussion. Personal attacks on other users will not be tolerated.
    Support for the 5D MklII is included in LR4.1, and how that works (including sharpening) is of course a perfectly-valid point of discussion. Whether the camera itself is sharp or not isn't anything to do with Adobe software, and everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I know people who think it's fine, and others who've taken their bodies apart to remove the OLPF. Both are convinced about what they see, and they'd argue about it all night.
    If you put three photographers in a room you get four opinions on which camera to use, but let's keep things polite.

  • Canon EOS 5D Mark III and Tamron lens

    I have just ordered a EOS Mark III body and a Canon 70-200 F/2.8 II USM IS lens. Now I want a wide angle zoom lens to complete the package. I'm interested in a 24-70 f/2.8 lens. Canon's version does not have an image stabalizer and is over $2000. Tamron offers the same focal and aperture in their 24-70 f/2.8 with an image stabalizer for around $1300. Are there any issues concerning using a Tamron lens on a Canon body?

    Really folks, when I joined this forum I had no idea it was for only Canon related issues and did not mean to insult the hosts. I am a Canon gal. I also own a Canon 7D. I wish all my equipment could be Canon. I have just spent a great deal of time and money researching and purchasing a Canon 5D Mark III and the Canon 70-200 F/2.8 II USM IS lens. I don’t want to settle for less. But now to complete the package I really want a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. I would have no doubts whatsoever about the Canon even at their price if it had IS. I do not want to regret not having the f.2.8 as I may be in some low light situations during my travels, or the IS as I may not be able to handle a camera and lens of that weight without a tripod. I bought the best tripod I could find made of carbon fiber( I won’t mention the name). It is compact, very light and has a load capacity of 25lbs. I plan on using it most of the time but there will be times that I just won’t have time to set it up.
    I have read a lot of reviews and 90% of them regret not having IS. After comparing the Tamron with the Canon on other sites that test different products, there didn’t seem to be too much difference in performance of either lens. Canon was favored as it should be, but for the price comparison and no IS it failed to make that big of an impression. I think the manufacturers of Canon know this and will probably come out with another version that includes IS. As Bob said…“if a competitor's lens is well regarded for whatever reason, it's in Canon's interest to know that and to understand why. And if a Tamron lens makes a 5D3 affordable by someone who would otherwise buy a Sony, I think Canon would gladly take his money.” That’s an excellent point. And Bob, I have considered the Canon 24-70 f/4 but I really feel that maximum aperture over the total focal range is a plus that only 2.8 can give.
    Ebbigs 1, I have considered the Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 but it doesn’t have IS. The price certainly is appealing, but the Tamron even though more expensive is a better lens (from what I‘ve read). I do agree about the L quality and durability of the Canon lens however and I would buy it if not for the IS. I am getting ready for a long trip and am in need of a wide angle zoom lens as soon as possible.
    I came here to find out if anyone knew if there were any issues with the Canon mount accepting a Tamron as I have never used anything but a Canon lens on my Canon cameras. Thank you for reading my rather long winded response and I apologize if I have offended anyone.

  • EOS 5D Mark III - Serial Number EXIF Error

    Hi,
    I just enquired of PhaseOne as to why their DAM & RAW processor does not show the Camera Serial Number and I received the following reply:
    "The simple reason for this is that the 5DmkIII does not write it in the standard EXIF data which the 5D and the 5DmkII did.
      I have attached a EXIF extract from a 5DmkII and a 5DmkIII to show it.
      This essentialy is a Canon firmware issue or feature depending on how you see it"
    Is this going to be corrected in a new Firmware release or is it a feature of the 5D Mark III?

    RobertTheFat wrote:
     I guess the question is, "Is there a "standard" location for the camera serial number in a RAW file?" Or is the author of a RAW processor responsible for knowing where it is and handling it accordingly? With the exception of a few artificial outliers like Adobe's ACR, aren't all RAW formats camera-specific?
    Hi,
    Yes there is a standard promulgated and agreed to by camera manufacturers from The Japan Electronic Industries Development Association (JEIDA) which produced the initial definition of Exif. Version 2.1 of the specification is dated 12 June 1998. The latest, version 2.3, released on 26 April 2010 and revised in May 2013, was jointly formulated by JEITA and CIPA. Exif is supported by almost all camera manufacturers.
    Unfortunatly though, camera vendors also store important information only in proprietary makernote fields, instead of using available Exif standard tags. An example for this is Nikon's ISO settings tag and now it seems, the Body Serial number tag on the Canon EOS 5D Mk III is used for something else.
    It leads me to believe it is a tag error because my other Canon cameras don't have any problems.
    Don.
    Maybe they put the serial number where they did in order to make it more resistant to Exif-editing software. If so, maybe it's a feature rather than an error. It will be interesting to see where the serial number appears in RAW files from the 7D2.
