Remote capture with eos digital rebel xt

Is remote capture possible with windows 8 and the EOS Digital Rebel XT?

There is no Windows 8 driver available for Canon EOS Rebel XT, as far as I am aware of. However, there is a Windows Vista driver available on the Cannon Support websites. Try downloading it and installing it in Windows Vista compatibility mode and and see if it makes the EOS Utility work. If it does you should be able to remote shoot with a USB cable.
I have not tried my old XT with Win 7 or 8 but this may do the trick.
Good luck

  • Missing photos after import - Canon EOS Digital Rebel

    Hi,
    After two calls to Apple Support I have solved this issue for this digital roll of 12 raw format images. Here are details for whoever might be interested.
    For some reason, iPhoto 6.0.6 was unable to import all of the images from a Canon EOS Digital Rebel camera. 7 out of 12 downloaded fine, however iPhoto seemed to stall at 5 remaining.
    Further efforts to rebuild photo library did not help, and the images were never transferred from the camera to the iPhoto 6.0.6 on MacBook Pro Intel (not in original folder).
    Then I tried to import the images to the iPhoto 6.0.6 on MacBook Pro Intel via a different user. Then I deleted the first 7 images from the memory card, and tried to import with iPhoto and with ImageCapture. None of these worked.
    Then a new memory card with 4 test images (2 large, 2 raw) did import to iPhoto ok.
    Then I used Canon File Viewer Utility to drag the 5 images from the first memory card to the desktop. And then I reformatted that memory card.
    Before deleting or reformatting the memory card I was also able to import the 12 images to a 12in PowerBookG4 with iPhoto5 version 5.0.4 ok.
    From now on however I will be counting the images from card to iPhoto.

  • Support for tethered shooting for Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i

    I just read online that Apple Aperture 3.1.2 won't tether to my Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i under OS X 10.6.7.  Is this true?  If so, is there a workaround or some software I can install?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    BTW - in case anyone is wondering, I've tested this... Canon T1i does work with tethering. (this camera is natively supported by Aperture for purposes of tethering)
    For any cases where there is a camera which is not supported directly, there is also a work-around which should work for almost any camera.
    Go to the Aperture plug-ins page:  http://www.apple.com/aperture/resources/plugins.html
    Look for a plug-in called "Aperture Hot Folders" (direct link is here:  http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/aperturehotfolder.html?cmp )
    The plug-in monitors a folder (of your choosing).  Any image which shows up in that folder will automatically be imported into an Aperture project (it's on-the-fly).  Essentially you'd use the Canon EOS Utility to do the tethering, which requires that you pick a target folder where it'll save all pictures you shoot during the tethered session.  You then tell Aperture Hot Folders to monitor that same folder and import any images found into an Aperture project. It gives you the ability to create tethering support for any camera that can do "tethering" even if Aperture doesn't directly support the specific camera (by using the manufacturer's own tethering utility.)

  • Canon - EOS Digital Rebel T1i

    Hi! I want to buy Canon - EOS Digital Rebel T1i 15.1-Megapixel Digital SLR Camera - Black, and on bestbuy website says: "digital camera that features an 18-55mm image stabilized zoom lens" But when I come to store, I saw this camera and this kit lens without IS. How it can be?? is it different products, in local store and in online store?? Thank You.

    I don't know what the lens was there, but "Stabilizer" or something like this isn't on it , and the bestbuy worker said that this kit camera doesn't have IS. 
    Ask to see an unopened box that includes the kit.  If it claims that the lens has IS, purchase the unit and open the box in the parking lot to verify that it is an IS lens.  Hard for them to argue that you pulled a swap if you come immediately back from the parking lot.  (The longer you wait to open, verify, and return, the harder it is to return an "inconsistent" unit.)

  • Nikon D40 or canon eos digital rebel xt

    I'm looking to make the transition from p and s cameras to an SLR. I have my eye on these two cameras. I'd be using them mostly for scenic shots and sports photography. I don't really have a budget (I don't mind spending more for the canon), my concern lies with the practicality of using each at my level. If I get the canon will there be too many options for me to grasp? Alternately, if I get the D40 will I quickly outgrow it and have to spend more for a new camera anyways?
    I also had a question about shooting raw jpegs. I'm fairly fluent in Photoshop cs3 in terms of design and compositing elements. Can CS3 edit raw jpegs or will I have to purchase a program like Aperture? Thanks.

    Are you buying these "used" and at a substantial discount from suggested retail? Both are old and have been replaced by cameras in the same price range with substantially better specs.
    The Canon EOS Rebel XS and the Nikon D3000 compare with nearly identical specs. Both have 10 Megapixel sensors. Sensors are nearly the same size. Both come as a 'kit' with an 18-55mm image-stabilized lens, and both have similar street prices (you should have no trouble finding them for about $470 -- both Amazon and BH Photo sell them at that price.)
    When I look for the Rebel XT or D40 they're hard to find and the places that claim to have them want more money for them than the substantially improved cameras that took their places in the respective model lines.
    10 megapixel crop frame sensors do a very respectable job. Unfortunately those start 18-55mm zoom lenses are "good" but not "great". With higher quality lenses these cameras will take much better pictures. Unfortunately high quality lenses cost as much or more than the whole starter camera outfit -- so that's probably something to grow into.
    I don't know the Nikon lens line-up as well as I know the Canon (I'm a Canon guy but I'm not particularly biased.... basically in the competitive landscape of DSLRs it seems to be a slug out between only Canon and Nikon. There are lots of others but I think they trail behind.
    Though you can get models with 12, 15, 20, megapixel I think 10 is really very substantial. At this point the lens quality becomes a major factor in how good the photos will look as many lenses don't deliver enough definition for higher resolution sensors to show off their best work. This is the case with the 'starter' lenses that come with these cameras. They are "o.k." and will take decent pictures (far better than you'd ever get with a compact camera), but when you take a tool like Aperture and put the image in full-size mode (so every pixel on the screen represents a pixel from the camera) you'll see that the images aren't so crisp. At that point it's more about acquiring better lenses than it is about acquiring a better camera.
    On the Canon side, the EF-S lens series are designed specifically to work with the crop-frame sensor cameras. The EF (without the "-S") are designed to work with the full-frame sensor cameras but will also work perfectly with the crop-frame (EF works with any Canon EOS -- Rebel or not). The reverse is not true (EF-S lenses will NOT work with Canon's full-frame sensor models). If you plan to upgrade but keep your lens inventory then keep that in mind when making purchase decisions. On the other hand, EF-S lenses are usually more affordable -- so if the price of EF lenses isn't practical for your budget (especially the EF lenses that come with "L" series optics -- astonishingly gorgeous optical quality but VERY spendy price tags.) you might just stick with the EF-S lenses anyway.
    Similarly, the Nikon's come in crop-frame sensor versions (e.g. the D3000) or full-frame sensor versions (e.g. the D3). Full-frame is MUCH better, but also much more expensive. You'd have to ask a Nikon guy how their lens line-up works. I'm assuming they have similar nuances, but I'm afraid I can't be much help there since I have no experience with them.
    As for Aperture vs. Photoshop... they're very different beasts. Photoshop does wholesale image manipulation. Aperture does better photographic quality adjustment and also manages all your photos but doesn't do wholesale image manipulation (e.g. you couldn't cut a person out of one photo and stick them in another using Aperture. But you can touch-up images in Aperture... e.g. remove a minor object using the clone tool, touch up blemishes, etc.). I have both Aperture and Photoshop CS4 -- not sure how Adobe is for providing RAW updates for CS3 since it's no longer the 'current' version.

  • How can I get my computer to recognize the canon eos digital rebel

    I have not used this camera for more than 2 years.  I now have a laptop with windows 7.  This computer will not recognize this camera when I plug it in to usb to download pictures.  I have tried everything except what is going to work.

    Do you happen to have the original discs?  Or, was EOS utility previously installed on that computer?  If not, you need to do a bit of shinanigans to get around Canon's protection (which I still don't understand, either you own a Canon, or the software is no use to you).  It's not hard, but you have to rewrite a registry file to make the software think it was previously loaded on your computer.
    Go here (providing you're in the US) to download EOS utility:
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer
    It's an "updater".  So again, you need to have had a previous version on your computer or it won't install.   Once it installs all you do is plug in your camera and turn it on and a window pops up offering a couple different options like File Transfer or Tethered Shooting.

  • Tethering and the Canon EOS Digital Rebel

    Aperture site says its supported but all I get when connected is the HUD will the button in ready mode but when you click capture or take a picture with the camera, nothing. I have connected by PTP and it will not see the camera. I have removed the card and taken pictures with the camera and still nothing.
    Is there something I have missed?

    canon changed the tether protocols...over a year ago....all canons from the last year cannot be used tethered in aperture....please do us all a favor and contact apple support and put in a request to finally have this fixed...the more write in, the better our chances are....
    this is the 3rd thread on the first page of the forum on the same subject....apple please listen...

  • I am having trouble importing jpegs shot on my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

    I have about 1000 jpegs that i need to import into FCP. A few specs to start off with. I am working on FCP 7.0 and a brand new MacBook Pro. I have had this camera for about 4 years and have not had a problem importing the jpegs into my old laptop and old FCP program.
    When i try to import the jpegs, the 2 portrait jpegs will import fine, but the 350 landscape jpegs will not. I keep getting the "file unknown" error. The dimensions are exactly the same, just reversed. it is RGB. i am able to open the file in preview and resave and then it will import fine. But, i have 1000 photos and don't want to have to do that for all of them. Plus, i will be taking several thousands more and won't have time to do that to each and every photo.
    How to i solve this problem so I can simply import the landscape jpegs as i have always done?
    Thanks in advance for all of the help.

    Will I have to do that for every picture? I am able to open them in Preview and resave them and they work fine. Is there a camera setting that I need to use to dictate how the pix are imported?
    Thanks for your help!

  • Camera Connector+Canon Digital Rebel XT or SanDisk's reader

    Does anyone know if Apple's iPod Camera Connector work with Canon Digital Rebel XT camera or with SanDisk's ImageMate CF Reader?

    I have a answer for all of you regarding this question.....
    I decided to give a risk and buy that connector and check it out by myself. Well, it doesn't work with SanDisk ImageMate CF Reader, BUT it WORKS with Canon Digital Rebel XT ! All you have to do is change in your menu option from PC to Print. I bought 5G iPod and everything works fine. That only big minus, it's slooooow. Downloading photos to you iPod is just super slooow.

  • When I try to open the EOS digital solution disk ver 24.1 for my new Canon Rebel T3i camera on my Mac 10.5.8 a notice "this software is not supported by the CPU you are using" comes up.  What gives?

    When I try to open the EOS digital solution disk ver 24.1 for my new Canon Rebel T3i camera on my Mac 10.5.8 a notice "this software is not supported by the CPU you are using" comes up.   Do I need this software?  Can I just download the pictures to my Mac without using the Canon software?

    When I try to open the EOS digital solution disk ver 24.1 for my new Canon Rebel T3i camera on my Mac 10.5.8 a notice "this software is not supported by the CPU you are using" comes up
    You need to contact Canon - or read the software specs - it sounds like the software you got form them is not supported by your computer
    Do I need this software?
    Probably not - exactly what about it do you want?
    Can I just download the pictures to my Mac without using the Canon software?
    Probably - if you are shooting JPEG - launch iPhoto and in the iPhoto preferences set action when a camera is connected to launch iPhoto and connect your camera - iPhoto should launch and you should be able to import
    Some cameras need to be set to mass storage mode - read your camera manual for details and procedures
    If you are using RAW then your camera needs to be on this list and you need the versions of software noted - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757 - for older OS versions you can use google to find the list of supported cameras

    Hi Ronald,
    I'm sorry to hear that the pins in the memory card compartment of your Digital Rebel have been bent.
    Because the service life for this camera has expired, Canon no longer offers service for it.  I'm sorry for the difficulty this causes.

  • Is my old Speedlight 550 ex compatible with my new Digital Rebel 4 Ti?

    I just bought a Canon Digital Rebel 4 Ti, but my older Speedlight 550 ex doesn't seem to be following the cameras instructions.  It does fire but more,as if the flash is running in a manual mode.  I have the flash set to ETTL.   Any suggestions?
    thank you
    Byron

    Well I've certainly used a 550EX with a t4i or it's equivalent UK version, and it works fine.
    If you are using the cameras pop-up flash as the master, and a single 550EX off-camera set the camera to Easy Wireless and it should be fine. you could also use custom wireless for more control but if you just want E-TTL control of the flash then Easy Wireless will do fine.
    Also since the camera does the flash metering and your camera has E-TTL II then there is no way to set the camera to the old E-TTL mode. Any more issues then check to make sure that the receiver window on the front of the Speedlite (just above the red panel) is aimed back towards the camera to ensure it "sees" the signal from the camera. Folks holding flashes in their hands often obscure the receiver window.

  • Timelapse remote Capture on G9 - How to?

    Hi,
    Looking to buy a G9 or G10 to use as a high quality time lapse weather cam as my old Olympus software will not work on any OS after XP. I control 2 Olympus cameras and each takes images every 5 minutes to upload to an ftp website, using a constant file name.
    It's proving quite difficult to know if the Canon supplied software (and upgrades for Win8) will do the trick.
    From my extensive research I have come up with the following, possibly erroneous and conflicting information.
    * ZoomBrowser EX can work with Canon Utilities RemoteCapture Task, both compatible with Win8 according to MS. (No sign of Remote Capture being downloadable from Canon, either as a task for Zoom Browser or a standalone product.)
    *CameraWindow DC (available from Canon and compatible with Win8). Vague hints that it can control the camera, but no idea if it can take timelapse at for example 5 minute intervals. And the program will not work in test mode without a camera ... catch 22. Also no help file or guide is available.
    *Digital Photo Professional 3.13.00. There was some message about needing EOS Utilities if one needed the Remote Capture facility - even though that doesn't support Powershots.
    Does anyone have any idea if any of the above would do what I want with my camera?
    Thanks in advance
    Stuart

    DPP is just an editing program used to convert RAW to jpg so it's out AND since you asked such an interesting question I hooked my G9 up to see if I could do this BUT I only have XP so this might not be 100% correct. I couldn't find any way to use the computer to take a photo with my G9 and I tried Zoombrowser & Camera Window. EOS Utility wouldn't even recognize it so you may need to research other options.
