EOS Rebel SL1 -- Photos aren't uploading

Hi there,
I use my Rebel SL1 nearly everyday, and I've never had trouble uploading photos by either inserting the SD card into my desktop or using the camera cord to upload the photos to my desktop.
However, I took about 20 pictures over Christmas and for the first time, they won't upload. I can view all of the photos on my camera, however, when they try to upload the message indicates there has been an error, the photo gallery cannot open the photo, and the file format is not supported.
I tried another SD card to determine whether it was the SD card which was broken, but the next SD card I inserted and snapped a photo and tried to upload, the desktop is showing the exact same "cannot open the photo" message.
I'm using the exact same program to view the photos, and the photos were taken on the exact same camera setting as the 2000 other photos that are uploading from my SD card.
So it appears to be the camera (not any specific SD card) that is preventing new photos from uploading to my desktop.
Any ideas?

Hi there
Yes, I can see the photos on the camera screen when the SD card is inserted in the camera. It is when I upload the photos to my computer that I get a message saying the photo gallery can't read the photo.
The same thing happens with multiple SD cards, so it must be the camera.
I'm wondering if there is some way to open them, or something I can set the camera to to make them readable when uploading?

  • EOS rebel SL1 100D, how to point and shoot.

    I recently purchased the, EOS rebel SL1 100D.camera lens, EFS 18- 55 MM,+ EFS 55- 250 MM.
    I know it is over my head, but hope to learn, meanwhile, Is there a setting for point and shoot?.
    I will be 81 next month, like to spend some time taking better pictures.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    ebiggs and cicopo are both basically giving you very similar advice.  There's a subtle difference between the two modes.
    In full auto mode (green A+ box on the mode dial) the camera is fully automatic.  It will set the exposure and it will not let you override it.  In fact, it wont let you override much of anything.  That mode tries to be somewhat "fool proof" in that if you mess with buttons on the camera body -- many of the button presses will be ignored in full auto mode.
    Program mode ("P" on the mode dial) is siimilar in that it also works out the exposure exactly the way it would have in fully automatic mode.  But the difference is that the "P" mode will actually let you override some of the settings.  Given some amount of light... you can either take a short exposrue with the camera allowing a lot of light thorugh the lens (but only very briefly) -OR- you can take a longer exposure duration... but with the camera only allowing a small amount of light through the lens.  Ultimately the same total of amout of light is collected and you might think these would result in identical images.  But it turns out "fast" images tend to freeze action, but have a shallow "depth of field" (this is the range of distances at which things will appear to be more or less acceptably focused.)  When the camera uses a smaller aperture opening (to allow in less light) the depth of field grows dramatically -- so LOTS of stuff is in focus (great for landscape photos)... but since the shutter needs to be open longer, it's not good for freezing action (and you may even need a tripod if the exposure time is long enough.)  
    That last paragraph is meant to say that the creative result of the image captured by the camera will actually be different.  This si THE REASON why photographers want to learn how to leave full "automatic" mode and learn to control those parts of the exposure that alter the creative results.
    If I take a photo of a waterfall, I might want to put the camera on a tripod and use a setting which allows me to use a very long shutter duration so the motion of the water is blurred (but everything else is tack-sharp.)  This creates those gorgeous milky / dreamy looking waterfalls.  If I want to freeze action -- say... birds in flight -- then I'll use a much faster shutter speed so that my bird isn't blurred.  This is what I mean by "creative" results.  Full auto mode wont ask you to make these choices.  It'll just pick a "middle of the road" safe exposure.
    The easiest mode on the dial is the fully automatic green "A+" position.  But it wont let you change much of anything.
    The next step toward taking control is the Program mode ("P" on the mode dial) which will let you override settings (and it will let you override things even to the point of ruining the shot -- but you do have to deliberately override the camera's exposure advice and this is not likely to happen by accident.)

  • For EOS Rebel SL1 what is the correct wired remote shutter/timer?

    I'm looking at getting a Rebel SL1 for someone.  She'll want to do long exposures(bulb).  What is the correct model of wired remote timer?  The website shows the RC-6 (which seems to just be a wireless shutter) but not the wired remote.  The instruction manual shows a jack but doesn't indicate what model remote or what time of jack.

    For wire shutter release, you'll need the Canon RS60-E3

  • EOS Rebel SL1 Mode Dial Problems

    Hi, I don't know much about cameras, but I have always wanted a nice one like this and a friend of mine told me that the SL1 was good for beginners. It arrived in the mail today and I just started to experiment and play around with it. I don't know if it's something I did by mistake or it's just an issue with the camera, but I realized the Mode Dial is not programmed correctly. To elaborate if I were to spin the dial to the A+ symbol (I'm sorry if that's not what it's called), the camera will go to the sports function. I'm sorry, but I really do no understand this and I would love it if someone could help me. Thanks!

    Hmmm.
    On that camera the Sports mode is directly across from the A+ (Auto) mode position.  There is a little pip as the indicator on the camera on the left side of the dial.
    Are you sure you are looking at the white pip and not the power on lever as the indicator?
    If so, that is the problem.
    If not:
    Do ALL the modes register as the one directly across from the correct one, or are they all Sports or are they random or something?
    The modes are printed on a thin metal "cap" that is literally glued on top of the knob.  I know because mine fell off once and I had to glue it back on.  I suppose it is possible that they put it on backwards at the factory, but I don't think so because there was a little slot in thge knob and a tab in the cap that have to line up or else you can't set the cap in flush.
    If you are reading it right and the knob is wrong you need to return the camera.

  • Will the EOS utility for the Rebel SL1 work with the 40D?

    We first bought the Rebel EOS 300D many years ago and then upgraded to a 40D at my wifes shagrine (heavier) and have now bought my wife a new Rebel SL1.  I would like to be able to download all three camers on my computer Win7 and her's WinXP.  I'd like to know if the new discs that came with the SL1 has an EOS Utility application that will handle all three or at least the 40D and SL1.
    Thanks much,
    Bob

    Hi, RobTrek6500!
    The version of EOS Utility on the CD that came with your Canon EOS Rebel SL1 will allow you to download photos from both the Rebel SL1 and the EOS 40D, on both Windows 7 and Windows XP.
    Unfortunately, the "Original" EOS Digital Rebel, known internationally as the EOS 300D, is no longer supported by current versions of EOS Utility, and going to an earlier version will cut out support for the later-model cameras.  EOS Utility's setup does not support having two separate versions on the same computer, so we recommend sticking with the newest version as it will be the most convenient for you.
    The best workaround for this is to use a memory card reader for the original EOS Rebel.  Many desktop computers have CF card slots already built in, and if you don't already have a CF card slot, a CF card reader can be purchased for a low price at almost any electronics store.  This turns your CF card into the equivalent of a flash drive, and image files can be dragged and dropped onto your computer with ease.  Meanwhile, you can continue to use the current version of EOS Utility to download images from the Rebel SL1 and the EOS 40D.
    We hope this helps!

  • How to open Canon Rebel SL1 Raw files in Photoshop CS 5.5? [was: HI]

    Hi! have the adobe creative suite 5.5: Master collection and I own a Canon EOS rebel SL1.  I downloaded the camera raw plugin but it won'tl et me take my photos into photoshop. Its says my camera is not supported but on the camera list it is. I need to get my pictures edited so any help would be much appreciated!!!

    The Rebel SL1 is supported by Camera Raw 7.4 and higher. I believe CS 5.5 uses Camera Raw version 6 and therefore does not support the SL1. Convert your raw files to DNG with the DNG converter found here:
    DNG Converter 8.8:

  • Canon EOD Rebel sl1 (100d) raw photo's (.cr2) cannot be read in aperture. How can I make dat?

    How can I read my photo's from my Canon Eos 100d (Rebel sl1) in aperture.
    The extension is .cr2.
    The extension from my photo's from my Canon 5D Mark III are .cr2 as well, but i can read those in aperture.

    .cr2 is a general file extension for Canon Raw format, but the raw support is specific for each camera. The list of supported raw formats is here: http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    I do not yet see your camera on that list. You may have to wait for the next raw support update to be able to open the raw files in Aperture.
    While you are waiting, you may want to shoot raw and jpeg pairs and use the jpeg as original file, and change back to the raw as master, when your camera will be supported. Or try, if the free Adobe dng-converter can read the images: see  here http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/16064/adobe-dng-converter

  • When uploading photos to eBay, some photos aren't showing

    I have my photos in Aperture, but when I try to browse and attach photos in an email or upload to eBay, the photos aren't available for me to select.

    After reading your post I checked my iTunes for multiple speakers and I thought I had the same issue you described. But since the slider is hidden in Lion, starting to scroll revealed my multiple speakers. Could this be the same for you. Try to scroll to reveal the other speakers.

  • Please help - delay in capturing photo with new Rebel Sl1

    I bought a rebel SL1 a couple months back. It is replacing an older digital rebel from 9 years ago - I think it's an XT. I loved it when I first used it. Then I got it out to use over the holidays and there seems to be a crazy delay when taking pictures. I'm not sure if I have somehow messed up a setting or what the issue is. I'm using it in auto (green square). It's like its taking a long time for the picture to "record". Anyone have any ideas on how I might fix?

    Basketlacey wrote:
    I'll check both of those things. Is it possible that I have the image quality too high??? It is set on 18M which seems to be the highest?
    No.  The camera will take images at any resolution "instantly" because the images are captured to an internal memory buffer.  The images are then saved to the SD card, which isn't as fast as the internal memory.  
    The only way you get a delay due to image size if you you are shooting in "continuous" mode and you take enough pictures to fill the internal memory buffer... which forces the camera to slow down until an image finishes being saved to card to make room for another image in-memory.  
    You would hear this because in "continuous" mode the camera will go "click", "click", "click", "click"........... "click".........."click"... etc.  (in other words several fast clicks in a row... then a long pause between each successive click once the memory buffer is full.)
    The 2-second delay timer is more common.  People switch this on, don't realize it, then are suprised when each time they press the shutter button the camera wont fire... until 2 seconds elapse.  The 2-second delay is great for shooting on tripod when you don't have a remote shutter-release.  This is because touching the camera (on tripod) usually creates a bit of vibration.  That can show up in long exposure photos.  But by enabling the 2 second delay, you allow the vibration to settle down before the shutter open.  This mode is ALSO used to take self-portraits using the IR remote trigger.  The 2 second delay means you can press the button on the remote, then you have 2 seonds to hide the trigger before the camera fires (so you don't end up with photos showing you pointing the remote at the camera.)

  • L Lens and EOS Rebel T3i body

    I've been asking so many questions on here, haha.
    But I'm here with another question. So I've somewhat been researching on the net about using L lens with a t3i and quite a handful of people are saying that they wouldn't work well together? So L lens aren't recommended for EOS Rebel bodies? Can someone explain this to me please.
    I just recently bought the T3i and I just want a good lens. Preferably for landscape photos. I also take some sports, low light, and portrait photos.
    Suggestions for landscape and all around photography lens would be great (:
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Often for landscape photography people want to use a wide angle lens. Not always, there aren't any rules that say you can't use something else. I'm just sayin' it's typically the first thing that comes to mind
    One of the best wide angles you can get for use on a T3i is the Canon EF-S 10-22mm USM. It is not an "L" but that doesn't matter.
    I suspect what you have been told about using an L-series lens is due to your camera's crop factor, as several other responses have suggested. L-series will work just fine on your camera, but all L-series lenses are "full frame" designs, by definition. As a result, none of the L's will be particularly wide angle on your camera. So when people hear "landscape", they suggest something other than an L-series.
    You have four different stated purposes: landscape, sports, low light and portraiture. The whole point of a DSLR such as your T3i is to be able to interchange lenses, to be able to adapt the camera for use in different situations. So I would suggest not to try to do it all with one lens, but to look at several lenses (some of which are Ls), which ultimately should give you better results. For example....
    Wide angle landscape: EF-S 10-22mm.
    Sports: 70-200/4, 70-200/4L IS, 70-200/2.8, 70-200/2.8L IS II, 100-400L IS, 300/4L IS.
    Low light: 24/2.8 IS, 28/1.8, 35/2 IS, 50/1.4, 50/1.8 II, 85/1.8.
    Portraiture (candid): 50/1.4, 85/1.8.
    Portraiture (studio): EF-S 15-85 IS, EF 28-135 IS, 24-105L, 24-70/4 IS , 24-70/2.8L II.
    Portraiture (environmental): 20/2.8, 24/2.8 IS, 28/1.8, 35/2 IS.
    General purpose "walk-around" lens: EF-S 15-85 IS... or, depending upon what other lenses you get, EF-S 17-55/2.8 IS, or EF 28-135 IS, 24-105L IS, 24-70/4L IS, 24-70/2.8L II.
    There are lots of different ways to put together a lens kit. For example, maybe you just don't need as wide a view as the 10-22mm for your landscape photography. If so, instead you might choose the EF-S 15-85mm as wide enough and because it can double as a walkaround lens and can even be useful for some portraiture.
    A "minimal" kit I often carry around with a crop camera is: 10-22mm, 28-135 IS, 300/4 IS w/1.4X teleconverter, and a Tamron 60/2.0 macro/portrait.
    When I'm shooting sports, which I mostly do with crop sensor cameras, I usually carry: 10-22mm and 24-70/2.8, but my most used lenses are 70-200/2.8 IS and 300/4 IS. (In certain situations I also use 70-200/4 IS and 300/2.8 IS.)
    For portraiture with a crop sensor camera, my favorite lenses are: 28/1.8, 50/1.4, 85/1.8 and 135/2. Especially the 50mm and 85mm.
    Your camera can use all EF-S and EF lenses, including all L-series. But just because a lens will fit and work doesn't mean it's the best choice for your purposes. In some cases buying a full frame capable lens for your camera will be wasteful.... FF lenses can be bigger, heavier and more expensive... yet not really give you any better performance, maybe even give less. For example, a 16-35/2.8L II is a wonderful lens on a FF camera, but makes little sense to buy for use on a crop camera. For less money you can either get a lens that's truly wide (EF-S 10-22mm), or a lens that offers slightly wider range of focal lengths and has IS (EF-S 17-55/2.8 IS).
    Depth of field actually is not directly effected by different camera sensor sizes. What changes depth of field are: lens focal length, lens aperture, and distance to subject. If you are looking for shallow depth of field (blurring down a background for a portrait, for example), you need a large aperture and longer focal length... and the closer you are to the subject the more shallow depth of field will be. If, on the other hand, you want a lot of depth of field ( for a landscape shot, for example), you want to use a smaller aperture and a shorter focal length.... and the farther you are from the subject (within reason), the deeper depth of field will be.
    Now where crop sensor vs full frame does come into effect is that in order to get the same subject framing with a crop sensor we need to stand farther away with any given focal length, or if shooting from the same distance will use a shorter focal length. In either case, the result is "less" depth of field, but it is an indirect result of the different sensor size.
    Have fun shopping and learning your new camera!

  • HELP!!! I do the yearbook for my elementary school. I took a lot of pictures on my Canon EOS rebel

    HELP!! I do the yearbook for my elementary school.  I took a lot of photos on my Canon EOS rebel t3i and was transferring them to my computer when I get impatient.  I pulled the disc out of the computer while it was still trying to read it.  Then I put it back in the computer to try to start over.  When that didn't work I put the disc into the camera to see if I could read them there.  The photos did not show in the camera so making things even worse I took a picture to see if it was working at all.  I was able to take a picture but it said that only 1 picture was on the disc.  Then I put the disc back into the computer and it came up showing the icons for the original photos but kept spinning and spinning and didn't do anything.  Now it won't even do that much but what happens now is I get the DCIM folder like normal, then the 100CANON folder and then a folder that says  ╟/ 0A1.u when i try to open that folder it says, "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."  Is there any hope for getting the pictures back or making this disc useable again?  Thank you for your time and your help!  I feel like saying, "Help me o b canon experts you're my only hope!"

    Well, first may I say I think it is appalling that an elementary school would ask a kid between the ages of 6 and 11 like yourself to shoulder such a responsibility.  Budget cuts are what they are, but kids should not be expected to pick up the slack.  You have done remarkably well under these shocking circumstances.  And you write way beyond your age group, which is a credit to yourself and your teachers.
    You should tell your parents to contact their state congressman and demand that they increase funding for schools, or else drop the yearbook program.

  • Canon EOS Rebel T3i 600D Video Problem

    hello there!
    I've been using my DSLR for about a month ago, and I love that it shoots full HD 1080p in 24 frames per second which commonly used for film-making. My Question is, when I browse videos on my computer (.mov files), it's resolution is always 1920x1088. So, it's not exactly in 1080 in height, is this fine? or others do have situation like this? And lastly, if I upload a video on Youtube, does the quality of the video will be remained? Thanks

    Hello francoambatali,
    The video recorded by the EOS Rebel T3i is 1920 x 1080, so I am unsure where you see it listed as being different than that.  From what you describe, your saying it has an extra 8 pixels on the vertical side, which makes it over HD if nothing else.  But again, we do not think what you are seeing is accurate, instead the program is probably reading the specifications incorrectly.  It will not harm the integrity of the video though.
    If you upload a video to Youtube, the quality undoubtedly will be compressed as a result of being uploaded.  Youtube's compression methods are not determined by Canon, so we can't say for certain how much of a quality loss there will be, but it will undoubtedly be lower quality than the original source file.

  • EOS Rebel T2i: the in built flash is not working. What is going on?

    I have my EOS Rebel T2i since 2011. But now, the flash compartment is not functioning right. Any time I need use the flash, the flash's "door" does not open and give me a error message.
    What is going on with the camera??
    Thank you,
    Ingrid

    The three noises you hear are the camera pulling back the latch to allow the flash to pop-up.  The catch is spring-loaded and motorized.  The flash is also spring-loaded so that once the catch is retracted (looks like a small hook) the flash should just spring-up into firing position.
    When the flash is pushed down to close, there's a tiny button which it presses (a micro-switch) which tells the camera that the flash is down.  When the camera attempts to release the catch, it expects the micro-switch (button) to pop-up thus indicating that the flash popped up.  If it does not, it tries again.  After three tries, it will give up and display Err 05.
    The fact that you hear the noise tells us that the motor is working.  
    As you inspect the camera body and specifically the area of the flash, does everything look ok?  Any signs of damage?
    There could be dirt jamming the mechasm.  If anyone has spilled anything on it (e.g. a sugary drink) then it could sticky.
    You can *try* this:  Press the button to raise the flash while applying a _very_ gentle prying pressure (do NOT use strong force -- don't want to break anything.  Just give it a tiny assist so that if it is merely sticky it might just need a little help.
    If it is not physically damaged, then it likely needs to be cleaned.
    I have seen articles on the internet that suggest you oil it... I would NEVER apply "oil" to my camera.  I would probably use a can of compressed air and blow out the hinge area and without fully closing the flash, work it up and down a few times so that if a bit of dirt or dust is jamming the hinge then you would hopefully work it free.  Incidentally... don't use compressed air cans on any camera optics.  There's a propellant in the can and it can leave a residue on surfaces if you aren't careful.  Normally if a can is not shaken and is held "level" the propellant will not spray out.  But it will spray out if shaken or if not level and that propellant will leave a hazy residue on the surface.
    If this doesn't work, I would not "oil" the camera (that oil can manage to get into a lot of places where you don't want it and a small expense could turn into a larger one) -- I would send the camera in for professional service.
