Has anyone interfaced LabVIEW to the Canon SDK for digital cameras?

I'm trying to call the Canon SDK to remotely control a Canon powershot g2. The SDK is comprised of DLLs compiled from C code. I'm getting an error when calling the first routine to run the SDK apparently because it needs to allocate memory for itself and is failing. Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA. David

It is always tough to use a third party driver. I recommend first reading "Using External Code in LabVIEW" manual. You can find it by opening LabVIEW >> help >> seach the labview bookshelf. This launches a pdf. The manual will be hyperlinked there.
The next thing to look for is a VB example in the SDK. Translating from VB to LabVIEW is straight forward and usually 1-1. Finally you may want to contact an Alliance member if you need this done fast. You can find the list at www.ni.com/alliance .

Photoshop CS5 disables autoplay for digital camera?

I just received and installed Photoshop CS5 Upgrade a couple days ago. Software seems to be working fine. However, I've noticed that when I plug in my DSLR (Canon EOS 5D Mark II), it will not auto-launch any application assigned to it. Typically, it should launch the EOS Utility so I can select and download my RAW files. The camera is detected by Windows, so it's not a driver problem. And, I can still launch the EOS Utility and download images manually.
When I uninstall CS5, it auto-launches just fine, so something funky is going on with CS5. I've confirmed the same behavior with my wife's camera (EOS 30D) and my point-and-shoot camera (Canon SD1100 IS). None of them will auto-launch their respective applications. I've also tried resetting the autoplay defaults as well as reassigning the applications associated with each camera. Nothing seems to affect this behavior.
I was previously using Photoshop CS2 with no problems. I'm running Windows 7 Professional x64 and the following hardware:
Asus P6T Deluxe v2 motherboard
Intel Core i7 950
12GB DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GTX285
Is there a setting in Photoshop or Bridge that is causing this? Thanks in advance.

Hi Curt,
Thanks for the reply. Card reader autoplay works fine, as does most (if not all) other autoplay devices. It seems to be digital cameras that aren't behaving correctly. I prefer to use the EOS Utility over a standard card reader since it gives me the ability to catalog my photos by shooting date (or other criteria) automatically. I also use it for Live View shooting, so having it load automatically when the camera is connected is a convenient feature.
However, I'm now suspecting it's not Photoshop CS5 that's the culprit. I installed CS5 on my laptop and autoplay works fine with all of my cameras. So, something else is afoot with my desktop PC.

Snow Leopard does not auto adjust time for digital camera

For some reason when I connected my digital camera this morning to auto adjust its time to reflect DST I ended up having to do it manually. Is this not a feature of SL? I did this a hundred times in Tiger without hassles. Maybe I am missing something. I am not using iPhoto for my imports.

I'm curious what software you are referring to. I doubt this is the fault of SL but rather a change in the Canon software. I know Canon's "Camera Window" has changed over the last while if that is what you are referring to but I don't remember seeing a time setting in it ever. Can you look back at the name and version of the software you are referring to?

No Item Info (resolution) for Digital Camera photos?

Hi,
Just imported some photos off my Canon digital camera into my iMac using Image Capture. Looking at at all the Icons for the photos in Finder, I've noticed none of them have their resolution written below them, even though I've got "Show Item Info" ticked.
If someone can explain to me why this, I'd like to know. Any pictures I download from the Internet automatically have their resolution written below them in Finder. But for photos that've come from my own camera, they don't.

The only time I see this is when the images are in a folder that is not indexed by Spotlight. Thus, I have a folder on a drive that has Spotlight disabled for that drive, and the same folder on my startup drive. The pixel dimensions appear when I open the folder my startup drive, they do NOT appear when I open the folder on the other drive. If the folder the pix are in is excluded from Spotlight search you won't see the dimensions displayed in the Finder window. I would guess that the folder the downloaded items are in is indexed, the one from the camera is not.

Imagery Apps for digital camera to iPod Touch / iPhone

Hoping I can pose this question here - does anyone know if there is or will be an APP for linking digital cameras via cable (wireless would be perfect!) to an iPod Touch or iPhone mainly for using the screen as a larger preview screen (maybe with a few handy 'extras').
The number of times you get two or more crowded around a small 2 inch on the back of a Nikon on it's tripod!

Now I'm travelling to China at the end of the year I am hoping even more that some Apps guru can come up with even a basic processing App to load images that can attach to say, my daily news to my Friends on Facebook!
I know my Sony uses USB2.0 so all that would be needed is an intermediary link to plug into the Touch? I noticed there is Apple iPod Camera Connector (M9861) available but reviews don't cover the Touch and there's conflicting reports.
Already you can now get a useful photo retouching App (Picoli) which makes life even easier.
Fingers crossed I guess!

Using Olympus MJU-400 digital camera

Hi all!
I'm on my way to buying a Mac Mini to finally enjoy OSX for myself! I bought my digital camera a year and a half ago and although it came with drivers etc for Mac they were all (obviously) for PowerPC versions. Does anyone know whether the drivers will install on an Intel Mac (or even if I need them at all?). I'm not bothered about the software seeing as I never use it and look forward to trying out iPhoto - it would be nice to be able to install the drivers so I can hook my camera up though!
Thanks in advance,
Nik

This will work great with the Mac. You don't need to install any drivers. Plug in the camera and transfer your photos!

Video In adapter for digital camera

I need an adapter that will allow me to establish a video connection from a Nikon D90 digital camera to my iMac in order to show on the computer screen, in my classroom, a live image of whatever appears on the monitor on the back of the camera (menus, images, camera settings etc). Anybody knows what I need and where I could find it?

Hello,
This should do what you're after. Whether the menu/settings are displayed are down to the camera's output however.

IPhoto 6 - recurring pop-up window for digital camera

Starting a few months ago, I began getting this pop-up window every time I launch iPhoto:
No matter what I click or answer, this window pops up again every time I launch iPhoto.
Why is this happening and how do I get it to stop asking me? I work on an old PowerPC (OS 10.4.11, iPhoto 6.0.6 (322)). The pop-up window comes up irrespective of whether or not a digital camera or card reader is attached.

Rj in WI is correct. I just started using iTunes about a month ago after my wife got an IPod. It took me about an hour of frustration and reading the instruction before I saw in the bottom right of the window "my computer". You click on that and then you can change it to the Airport network. Unfortunately It appears you can only send to only one place. I have two Aiport Expresses and I can only send it to one of the Express devices, or the computer, but not to two or all three places at one time.

Why is the IEEE 1394 Standard for digital cameras difficult to synchronize/trigger with other devices?

In the knowlege base, it generally says under "analog and digital cameras: advantages and disadvantags" that the IEEE 1394 is difficult to synchronize and trigger. Why is that exactly so and how can you solve that problem in DIAdem 8.0 when you would like to trigger your measurement inputs (accelerometers etc) together with a camera.

I would guess it is difficult to synchronize because it provides a software trigger. Latencies in the communication would make it difficult to perfectly synchronize two separate events.
Many firewire cameras also have a hardware trigger. If you were to use this with your other hardware, you would probably be able to get much better synchronization.

Camera not in list for Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.11

Do I need this update if my camera isn't in the list of supported cameras?

45 views and no replies? Isn't there anyone that can answer if I need this update or not or is my question not clear? Does anyone else have a similar question relating to the Digital Camera Raw compatibility update 3.11?

Converter for digital camera

I have a sony digital camera with video capabilites. However, I am unable to burn a DVD out of my videos after downloading them onto my computer. I was told I need a MPIGI muxed converter. Does anyone know how I might get this or if it will even work?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You have posted to the Discussion feedback forum.
Depending on the Digital camera in question, if it has an IEEE 1394 port, or Firewire port, you may want to post this question to the iMovie forum:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=141
which describes your version more concisely,
or you may want to post to iDVD forum with your version of iDVD if trying to burn from iDVD:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=128
Or the 10.4 forum about the Finder, if trying to burn from the Finder with a burn folder:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=751
Be sure to mention the model of your Sony camera in the question, so people can more clearly tell you what options you have. Also please state your Mac model and vintage Mac model so people can help you easier.

Why Won't This Digital Camera Movie Load Into iPhoto

I shot 186 photos and 12 movies with my Canon digital camera this past week while my wife and I were on vacation. The photos and 11 movies (all about one minute or less) loaded just fine but my longest one (3 minutes which is the maximum for my digital camera) will not load. Is there a maximum time limit for digital camera movies that I have exceeded with iPhoto?

Hi David,
when you say "will not load" do you meant it won't open in Quicktime or it didn't download into iPhoto?
This is what I do;
When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD.
The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

Is every Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update necessary?

Knowledge base doc (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825) says “Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard provides system-level support for digital camera RAW formats.” so I assume a system update includes Digital Camera RAW Combatibility updates.
Before I updated from 10.6.6 to 10.6.8, SU showed I needed Dig Cam RAW Com update 3.7 which I didn’t do. After the update to 10.6.8, I needed 3.12 so v3.7 through 3.11 must have been included in the OS X update. Before I got around to doing 3.12, I found SU showed 3.13; I assume each update includes the past ones as well.
My cameras, Samsung Pro 815s, predate the updates.
I continue to do the updates thnking there might be some unmentioned secuirity issues included in the update that are not mentioned, but -- really -- is it necessary to keep doing these particular updates?
Do folks continue to do these ad infinitum as new cameras are added?
Should I eventually purchase different cameras, could I then find the relevant update and just install it?

In my first post I mentioned:
Before I got around to doing 3.12, I found SU showed 3.13; I assume each update includes the past ones as well.
You, TD, kindly added this information - thank you:
Further, Camera Raw updates get rolled into the next OS update anyway, so the next time you update your OS you catch up anyway.
However, I’m running 10.6.8 and probably staying there - so no more OS updates for me.
I do updates manually checking SU first.
As I said above, when I didn’t do 3.12 update (but I did download the installer), it was later replaced in SU by 3.13.
It really is not a big deal, but just a matter of curiosity - do you know if the update for 3.12 was included in 3.13? (The list of supported cameras for 3.13 does not include the one for 3.12.)
As I said, it matters not, just curious how smart SU really is (because I have another really big issue with SU and am just waiting to ask that question later...)
Thanks again,
Mrs H

Recurring digital camera raw compatibility update offer

Hi for the last few months I keep getting an update offer for digital camera raw. I haven't got a compatible camera, I have even clicked on the update thinking that would be the end of it, but I am offered the update time and again. Now it not a major problem to just un-tick it when its offered, today with the latest update I was also offered to update the digital camera raw. Now my ? is there a way to stop being offered this update. Thanks

Rerun Software Update, select this one, and select ignore. Won't come back unless you restore ignores.
