GPS & Canon 40d Wireless Transmitter-Import elevation also.

PC: I shoot RAW using a Canon 40d with the Wireless Transmitter, which uses a usb connection between my Garmin gps and the WT. LR includes the gps coordinate information in the metadata, allowing me to click on the field and be taken to Google Maps.
The frustrating part: Canon shows the *elevation* data (albeit in meters) when viewing the image in the camera, but LR won't import it. Ideally, Canon should also import the electronic compass bearing from the gps, and LR should import both data.
[Compass bearing is helpful for taking time-differentiated photos of the same area (e.g., 4-season photos), and elevation is handy for GIS use.]
Does anyone have an idea of *how* LR imports the gps data?

I'd also be very interested in learning this.
Don - if nobody replies to your thread or offers any suggestions it might be worth your while posting something along these lines in the features request. Who knows, perhaps the LR team will add some more functionality to the GPS input data in a future version.

Canon 40d Wireless shutter release

Hello,
I was in the need of a wireless shutter release for canon 40d, I would like
one as small as possible, I was wondering has anyone here purchased
something durable that they can let me know the model type etc.
cheers
Kenny

Hello,
I got this one
http://www.amazon.co.uk/H%C3%A4hnel-Remote-control-cameras-HWC433/dp/B0019UUYLA
I actually purchased it in Jacobs itself (I needed to see it would work, and
be confident I was nt buying a pig in a bag.)
http://www.jacobsdigital.co.uk/index.php?target=products&product_id=142454
as reviews I have read a few times stated the batteries they can come with
are usually dead etc. but not in my case.
It works, simple to use and with 4 channels. It works with all canon cameras
and it seems robust enough for purpose. It was not cheap at the £49 but it
was a struggle to find suitable quality.
cheers

No previews when importing from Canon 40D

I apologize if this issue has been discussed before, but my search techniques dont seem to be coming up with anything useful in the forum search.
I have recently purchased a Canon 40D and when importing directly from the camera cannot see the .cr2 previews. I only see the file names and grey squares. The import function works just fine, I just cant see previews. I have installed the Canon codec and tried the various previews settings (minimal, 1:1, etc..) but nothing seems to fix the issue.
I have LR 2.3 installed on a Windows XP system.
Thanks
Michael

Going back to a standard screen profil has ever solved the known "grey miniatures" issue, as far as I know.
I have tons of examples on a French Lightroom forum.
That's pretty strange that it didn't solve the issue for you...
Let's take it the other way round:
When a Canon camera is connected directly to a desktop via USB, because of specific drivers/protocol used by Canon, camera is not recognized as a standard mass storage.
By the way, it is way better to use a card reader to avoid this type of issue.

Canon 40D and Geotagging (GPS)

I've been reading posts and I still cant seem to understand how to do this. I have a Canon 40d camera and want to use a gps data logger to track where photo's were taken and then have the GPS information imported into Aperture 3.
Is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks... Gary

I also own a *Canon EOS 40D* and I've investigated how to do that.
It turns out that the regular way is to use an optional module for the camera and hook up a GPS receiver to it.
• First, you need the *Canon Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E3A* that permits wireless transfer and back-up, as well as remote control of the camera in Live View mode.
It can also be connected to various GPS receivers or Hi-Speed USB 2.0 external storage devices such as convenient flash drives or high-capacity hard drives with much larger storage capacity than the memory cards in the camera for instant back-up as images are captured.
The WFT-E3A wireless transmitter also doubles as a vertical grip and requires its own BP-511A battery pack in addition to the battery installed in the camera body.
More on this hardware by googling or searching dpreview : http://search.dpreview.com/?q=WFT-E3A
I've found one on Amazon at $635 instead of $1200. But it's still rather expensive, unfortunately.
• Then, of course, you need to get a USB enabled GPS receiver.
I guess there are a great number of models available, with an equal variety in prices.
And then, your photos will have the GPS coordinates embedded in the file.
I hope this helps.

Canon 40D RAW (CR2) Files import

I've Photoshop and Aperture. Cannot install Elements which would be my preference - so help needed here.
Also - I use iPhoto mostly in the latest Apple OS, yet I cannot import Canon 40D RAW files. I get an error message saying they could not be imported - import failed.
Help please.
Freshacre

Freshacre:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What version of PS Elements are you trying to install? I've installed the PSE 6 demo without any problem.
What type of files are you trying to import and from where?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Canon wireless transmitter to Ipad 3 experience?

I use the Canon 1DX and am wondering how well the
Canon WFT-E6A Wireless Transmitter
would work to see my imaging on an Ipad 3. I've read
poor results from some people, so can anyone help me on this?
Thanks......

Hi JohnWayne!
Thank you for posting!
The WFT-E6A should work great with your iPad. The setup also does not take long. We have an article on the Canon Digital Learning Center about the WFT-E6A that you may want to look at. It describes in more detail the capabilities you gain when using the WFT-E6A. I have included the link below:

RAW import from Canon 40D to Elements 4.0

I have a Canon 40D camera, and still use PE 4.0. I am unable to import my raw files - help! I have downloaded and installed the camera raw 3.7 plug-in. What am I missing? Any advice welcome. Many thanks...

If no-one else comes up with an answer have a look at my thread under the RAW Issues forum
m. It may or may not be of help. It's entitled "Opening Raw Files saved as DNG"
The title might not seem to relate to your question but I think you may be suffering from the same problem I had . If not I'm sure some kind soul will come to your aid.
If nothing else it may pay you to post your thread under the Raw Issues forum rather than let it get lost where it is.
Good luck, James

Canon WFT-E5 wireless transmitter to Airport Extreme to Mac Pro?

Can I use an Airport Extreme to connect a Canon 7D using the WFT-E5 wireless transmitter to get files onto a Mac Pro?
Or is there a better way.
It needs to upload immediately, as soon as a shot is captured.

Slow connections, weak signal, dropped, lost signal after sleep...
While Apple has a good "troubleshooting networking" the Mac Pro using Wireless has had more of its own. I would pick up a Netgear router, go wired.

Tether (not wireless) from Canon 40D to iPad (4th Gen)?

I have an iPad with Retina display (4th Gen) and a Lightning to USB Camera Adapter that I can connect to my Canon 40D. This setup downloads all photos at once, then I have to disconnect the tether in order to regain control of the camera. This is not what I want. As I take images, I want the “client” to be able to see each one. And, I do NOT want to tether wirelessly.
QUESTION: Is there any product(s) that would allow me to accomplish this task?

As far as I know, there is no wired tethering option for the iPad, only wireless (EyeFi and Cam Ranger for example).

Hi all help needed I have a canon 40D. I am thinking of buying a canon 6D.
But not sure that my lenses will work.
I have a 170mm/ 500mm APO Sigma.
A 10/20 ex Sigma HSM IF.
And a 180 APO Sigma Macro or do I have to scrap them and buy others.
ALL Help will be greatly received. Yours BRODIE

In short, I love it. I was going to buy the 5DMark III. After playing with it for a while at my local Fry's store where they put 5DMII, 5DMIII and 6D next to each other, using the same 24-105L lens, I decided to get the 6D and pocket the different for lens later.
I'm upgrading from the 30D. So I think you'll love it. It's a great camera. I have used 5DMII extensively before (borrowing from a close friend).
Funny thing is at first I don't really care about the GPS and Wifi much. I thought they're just marketing-gimmick. But once you have it, it is actually really fun and helpful. For example, I can place the 6D on a long "monopod", then use the app on the phone to control the camera to get some unique perspective on some scenes. It's fun and great. GPS is also nice for travel guy like me.

Drop-shadows
Drop-shadows under images both in Loupe and Grid view on Windows (only on Mac before). Though, in Loupe mode, they are somewhat buggy (they don't show until you zoom in and out) and jerky (as you move through the images, there's a visible lag between drawing the picture and it's shadow).
Responsiveness in Develop
Also, I was surprised (and what a nice surprise that is) to see that the changes applied in Develop module are now applied almost real-time! If you look carefully in 1:1, you can see that the changes are first reflected by a lower quality proxy images, then, in a fraction of a second, re-rendered on the actual image. At least on my machine it was much slower before.

Cannot open SRaw files from my Canon 40D can open Large Raw files

Hello,
I use Windows XP. I have Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. I use Canon 40D. I have run updates in Photoshop and all is updated (I have ACR 4.2). Camera raw only appears once when I look at About Plug-In. I am not able to open the small raw files, but I am able to open the large ones with Camera Raw in Photoshop.
Has anyone else experienced this? Can anyone help?
Thanks! Linda

Jeff,
I also put a level of responsibility on Canon
"Please be sure to place _ALL_ of the responsibility on Canon...it's THIER firmware. "
FWIW, I did lace into Canon Tech support today about two major pieces, first the lack of any information regarding the update. Spoke to a supervisor. He claimed that being only out there a week was not enough time for them to get informed. I reminded him that he should probably add another week to that allowing build time to get the cameras loaded with the new FW and out to distributors, and that 2 weeks was more than enough time for them to hear something. With regard to the "responsibility of the RAW software company to be code to new cameras" I reminded him Adobe already had and it was working fine with the 40D and that their "point release" which no one seems to be able to find (except on the cameras) broke what was working. The Saga sadly continues...

What is the BEST way to get my macbook with lion on it, to communicate with my Canon 40D camera?

What is the BEST way to get my macbook with lion on it, to communicate with my Canon 40D camera? It says the utility disk is a PowerPC app and that is no longer supported. What do I do now? I can't upload photos from my camera.

Also, I had the same problem happen when I tried to install an older version of Corel Painter. Are Macbook Pro users just NOT supposed to be able to use their laptops for the purposes they are best designed for?

Canon MX340 wireless printer no longer connecting over wireless and coming up with "a communications error has occured"

I have a Canon MX340 wireless printer and have only recently started having trouble printing over the wireless connection. No settings have changed on my MacBook Pro, the printer, the router or the wifi connection and it is strange how it has just stopped working. I have tried things like restarting the laptop and removing the printer from the laptop and re-adding it. It sometimes seems to work for maybe one print but then it goes back to saying "a communications error has occured", when I try to print again.
Any help would be great. Thanks

I had the same MX340 problem. My printer was working fine over WiFi connection to my Airport Extreme for years and then suddenly, about a month ago, it stopped printing after the first print job. I can print once and then I have to power-cycle the printer to get it to print another time and then I have to repeat the power-cycle.
The printer seems to be "forgotten" by the network or lose its connection after the first print job.
On my MacBookPro 10.6.8 I get the error code 300...yadayadayad... On my iMac 10.5.8 it just says :communications error".
HERE IS THE FIX - I got it off this link - http://www.techsurvivors.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=24681
You have to connect to the MX340 using the printer cable that came with the printer (or any USB printer cable) and set up a hardwired USB printer queue. Then print a couple of print jobs - I use TextEdit and type in "1234". Then try the same thing but select your WiFi print queue - I just type another line on the same sheet of paper with TextEdit.
The WiFi connection should work again. I did this a few more times and then disconnected the USB cable and now it continues to work without the USB print queue being used. I can also print to the WiFi queue with my iMac.
If you still have problems I suggest you set up the printer again on the WiFi router using the "print cable connection" method. Here's a link to a webpage someone kindly provided instructions for the process:
http://machinesaredigging.com/2011/04/08/how-to-install-the-printer-canon-mx340- wi-fi-without-the-cd-on-mac/
Good luck!

Aperture and Canon 40D RAW

When will Aperture support RAW from my Canon 40D?
In the meantime how should I handle my RAW images? Can I import them into Aperture now with metadata attached and when the support is there all my photos and metadata will appear?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

The first question has been asked many times in the last 4 weeks and there's no answer. Ask more and Apple will lock this thread.
Second question. If you shoot RAW only, Aperture will import the file, and you won't be able to see it or work with it. You can export it to use Canon's DPP, Photoshop or other available converter to process it, save it to TIFF or JPEG, and then reimport to Aperture for now.
If you shoot RAW and JPEG, Aperture will import both files, but it's not apparent where the JPG file is. Control-click or right-click the grey square thumbnail or the reddish main window, and click "New Version from Master JPEG" to reveal the full-resolution JPEG image the camera took.
When OSX starts supporting 40D in the future, those RAW files will automatically be shown inside Aperture.
