IPhoto not exporting description for Canon Powershot

iPhoto is not exporting descriptions for photos taken by my Canon Powershot SX110 IS.
I use the camera to take a picture, import the photo, add a description and use File->Export, choosing JPEG, check box for Title and Keywords, check box for Locations.   Perform export and view photo in Preview, view exif using Tools->Inspector.  All pertinent exif data is there except description, including keywords and location. Specifically looking at IPTC and TIFF data fields.
However, if I export Photos from my wife's camera (a Canon SLR model) or a friend's Canon EOS model, then the descriptions do get exported.   Any ideas or solutions on how to export the description for the Canon Powershot?

I can confirm that. I just imported it to iPhoto and no, I can't see the caption there either. But, and this is odd, there are several blank spaces there - for instance, in the shot below I just typed 'this is a test' where the cursor would let me.
So you can see there is some element of recognition that there is *something* there, which is weird. I tried copying and pasting that out but there are only spaces and no actual text that I can find. This is also repeated with Aperture.
There is some incompatibility between that camera and the Quicktime substructure on the Mac... I've simply never seen anything like this before.

    Which project settings for project for Canon Powershot Video Editing?
    I want to edit video taken with a Canon Powershot SD 550 taken in NTSC 640 x 480. When I start a new project, which project settings should I be using? Also when exporting the project to view on a computer should I stick with the AVI or will MPEG or another universal format give me better end quality?

    Hunt,
    This user has two thread topics here that are identical to ones at the forum which I frequent. Early on I  downloaded video from the Canon Powershot that he says he is using for the basis of my comments. So, I have put that video through gspot myself. Since the user is going between the two forums (mostly here), I did not want anything lost in the back and forth. The goal is to help attainment of the goal. That is why I am including comments at both locations:

    The user has gotten back to me on the video rotation issue, thanking me, but telling me that another workflow was identified...and, as I note, generously shared with both sites. I am in the process of personally checking out what he said worked for him in that regard. However, the user has not gotten back to me on the topic of project settings.
    So to expedite matters, when you get a chance, could you please check out my comments in that thread? I would be interested in your perspective on the matter and what I wrote.

    how to set raw format  for canon powershot  a1100 is ? ,,according to the specs online it can.

    It requires the Canon Hacker's Developement Kit (CHDK). It runs off of your SD card and does not harm your camera. Download a program called Stick-

    Follow the directions and you will be able to shoot in RAW along with some other deatures not available on your camera previously.

  • Info for requesting geo-tagging for Canon Powershot cameras.

    I currently have a Canon powershot which I love, but was hoping to upgrade to a newer model that supported geo-tagging..
    I just called Canon customer service and asked if there were any current or future models that would be including this feature..
    The rep said he is not given any info on future models but that no current models offered geo-tagging.
    He did say that my call would go down as a feature request and if enough people are looking for this feature it will be included soon..
    So for what it's worth, if you are interested in requesting this feature, Canon's number is 1-800-652-2666..
    I would really like to be able to put places to work without entering manually.

    If you have an iPhone, you can use it as a geologger using an app called GeoLogTag. I'm doing this for a couple weeks now and it works great. The app exports GPX files, that can be used with geotagging apps like HoudahGeo.
    With this workflow, you can keep you current Canon Powershot camera, if you have an iPhone 3G of course.
    Another feature of GeoLogTag (off-topic now) is that it can geotag Flickr photos directly from within the app, which is pretty cool!

  • Trouble importing photos to iPhoto 6.0.4 from Canon PowerShot S410

    I have never really used iPhoto before, and decided to try it. I hooked up my camera properly, using the USB cable that came with it, and iPhoto said, "Ready to import 110 items." I gave the 'roll' a name and some comments, and hit 'import.' After a bit of a wait, I got an error saying, 'Unreadable Files: 110 The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)' and a window listing all of the photos currently on my camera.
    I checked the camera model on the 'compatible models' list [ http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/cameras.html ], and it's there. The only support article I could find was for iPhoto 2 [ http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93275 ], and clearly didn't apply to my problem, because the files are definitely photos and there are over 28 GB available on my hard drive.
    I can go back to using the other apps I've been using, but would like to try iPhoto, because it works so well with other apps on my new computer, such as iWork, etc. Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try using Image Capture, located in your Applications folder, to manually upload the photos to a folder on the Desktop. Then see if the files will import form there. If not then there's some format issue possibly.
    Do you have any video clips in the camera that you took? Or any voice annotations that you made for the photos? They could have triggered the failure to import but shouldn't have.
    See how the manual upload goes and report back. You do not need any driver for the camera. It's build into OS X.

  • IPhoto not exporting and slideshows not showing in finder

    iPhoto on my MacBook air will not export slideshows into iTunes, even though the icon is ticked for it to do so automatically. Also, the slideshows I create are not showing in finder. Any suggestions?

    Look in your Pictures folder for a folder titled iPhoto Slideshows.  That's where my converted slideshows end up.

  • Canon Speedlite 430 EX ii slave for Canon Powershot SX 60 HS, How ?

    Without purchasing any wirelss flash transmitter Can I use my Speedlite 430 EX ii as a slave external flash to work remotely ?
    My target is I do not want to attach the flash unit directly into the hotshoe of camera but it should work remotely, How ?
    Is it possible with Canon Powershot SX 60 HS ?
    Details instruction needed. I tried to set the flash Channel 1, Slave A. But while shooting only pop up flash working not the external flash.
    Camera ---------> Flash unit seperated-----> while shooting it must work, How possible ?

    Metal wrote:
    Yes I checked my SX60 HS no seperate menu for controlling external flash only little thing like red eye correction. I clicked zoom button of 430ex ii to set the flash as slave but my camera pop up flash doesn't trigger remotely. I am really sad a premium range bridge camera with a multihotshoe camera doesn't have this function built in. Can any expert check the matter in more details if I am not doing it in proper way/method pls. 
    Ok about 3rd party device like yongnuo YN622 wireless ETTL flash trigger receiver transmitter transceiver woyld work? How to be sure before purchasing?  
    Yes, the YN622C transceivers should work.  I used the YN-622C's with my G1x and they performed well. These transceivers fool the camera into thinking the flash is actually attached to the camera when it is not. 
    The basic optical slave in the link above will not work for two reasons. 
    1) Your camera has an ETTL flash and the ETTL preflash will cause the slave to trigger at the wrong time.
    2) The Canon 430EX II has some circuitry that is incompatible with these types of optical triggers. They will fire once and then the flash will no longer respond.

  • Best export settings for Canon cameras: Key Frame Distance confusion

    Good evening! I have the Canon SX230 camera (for easy understanding, you could consider it as 5D Mark) and Premiere Pro CS5.5, and what I need is to export my project with the best similar to the source quality, as lossless as it possible (but not like absolute lossless oversized AVI's...) To my happiness, there are not so many export settings, but I am very puzzled with "Set Key Frame Distance" point. Okay, basically I understand what GOP is, what I don't understand is what value I should choose for the best result, if my сamera does videos with M=1/N=12? I'm choosing "1" Key Frame Distance, like all frames are I-frames, saving the original sequence, because you don't want to convert original I-frames to P-frames, so it's better to make them I-/P-/B-frames all like I-frames? Am I right at this point, is that wise, and will it be the best reasonable option, matching original M=1/N=12? Or is it not worth it? And will it fundamentally affect the file size? I really need your help on this, worked on this project for three months and really don't want to screw up all:) Thank you very much!
    sample of my sourse files:
    and this is my export settings, which I think is the best of the best, but please correct me if I'm wrong:

    Oh dear Ann, unfortunately it is not possible.
    For some unbelievable reason it is okay to mux H.264 with Dolby, but forbidden to mux H.264 with PCM. That has absolutley no sense. Anyway, that's not a problem, mkvtoolnix does a perfect job. Really need PCM stereo audio for that project. And H.264 is the best codec for Full HD project out there, MPEG is too old...

  • Import/Export Settings for Canon T4i Video

    Hey folks,
    I'm new to Premiere and loving it, but I'm wondering what the best sequence settings, as well as export settings, will be for video captured from my Canon Rebel T4i camera.
    I prefer to shoot either in 1080p with 24 fps, or 720p at 60 fps––what settings within premiere should I use when setting up my project, and what are some good export options for Youtube/Vimeo?
    thanks!

  • Lens profile for Canon PowerShot S120?

    Is there a lens profile for the Canon PowerShot S120?

    Powershsot S100 is available - minor difference in aperture specification but same zoom range - implying that the elements may be the same.  Could serve for your purposes and works well for my S100. 

  • Plugin for Canon PowerShot G 15 camera.

    I just bought a Canon PowerShot G15 camera.  Shot over 100 pictures in Raw to test out the camera.  I used the Canon disk to install their software and followed their instructions.  I then downloaded the latest updates from Adobe only to discover that the company has not gotten around to supporting this camera.  I have owned Photoshop since Version 7 days, gone through several SLRs and PowerShot G series cameras and have never experienced this kind of omission.  Can anyone tell me what is going on and when will I be able to get a plugin to convert my Raw files?

    Thanks Mollysnoot!
    A thoughtful response.. I already have over three thousand G15 images and DPP is a dinosaur to use. I purchased it four weeks ago and in the past I haven't had to wait this long as an early adopter of new gear. Canon doesn't have a lens profile yet either.   About the last thing a person wants to do is buy the latest technology and then find out it's still in the almost ready phase... It's kinda like buying a new car and then finding out that if you turn on the headlights, the stereo stops working. But as soon as Delco Remy gets off it's A$$, it'll be fixed. Until then, suck it up and don't turn on your lights...

  • RAW support for Canon PowerShot SX1

    Hi All,
    In the absence of Apple support for the Powershot SX1 IS any suggestions on how to work with this camera easily in a workflow shooting RAW?
    I have seen a few archived posts with some suggestions such as the Adobe DNG converter but unfortunately the camera is not supported by the converter (just Photoshop CS and Elements).
    Would LOVE to get some apple support here but at the moment I am going to have to find a workaround or go the Adobe application path...
    Thanks in Advance.

    Adobe converter works fine if you haven't adjusted the file.
    I was using LR2 and DNG files and anything that has been cropped or adjusted won't show in aperture 3 even after going through the converter.
    The only way it worked way to open it in Photoshop and change it to a photoshop file. Then Aperture 3 recognizes it.
    I wish apple would just add the SX1 IS to it's raw support.

    Sorry Adobe, but this is Canons Compact camera Flagship and still have no Lens correction profile after 9-10 Months on market??
    I cant't understand it!!

    This is a User to User forum. Official requests to Adobe go here: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/products/photoshop_family_photoshop_lightro om
    Adobe provides a free tool for you or some other G1X user to create your own profile. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5489 It doesn't take that all that much effort.
