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.)

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...

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.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

this is answered per calls to Apple Support

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.

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.

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!

Canon 7D Mark II fails to connect with LR 5.7 for tethered shoot.

Canon 7D2 fails to connect with LR 5.7 for tethered shoot.
The camera connection does work with Canon EOS Utility.
LR sees the camera but fails to establish and maintain connection. See small video clip to view the camera and computer behaviour while attempting to connect.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28457054/7D2%20tethered%20test.m4v
I also have the Canon 5D3 and have no issues connecting with various software (EOS Utility, LR, Helicon Remote) on that computer. I have a MacBookPro mid-2009 running OS X 10.8.5. Lightroom, Camera Raw and EOS Utility are up to date, same goes for the 7D2 firmware.

It usually takes many months and perhaps more than one version of LR before tethering is supported after raws are supported. The first hurdle is for the camera manufacturer to release a new SDK with the camera supported, so Adobe can’t have tethering ready when raw support is because a camera isn’t added until after it is announced. Canon has added the 7D.2 to their SDK about two weeks after the camera was available, so the ball is in Adobe’s court:

Nikon D750 not supported for tethered shooting??

Tethered Shooting for Sony - Fixed in Aperture 3?

Can anyone advise if Aperture 3 has support for tethered shooting with Sony cameras that was missing in Aperture 2?
The existing support article is for Aperture 2 "The following cameras have been qualified for tethered shooting in Aperture 2:" (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1085) and makes no mention of Aperture 3 support.
Thanks
Paul

The tethered capture floating tool panel is not modal - you can still use Lightroom's regular panels and tools while it's open, so working on a file while a session is active is no problem (provided a new shot doesn't arrive and auto-advance is turned on).
Lightroom cannot directly email images to an address taken from the IPTC metadata, for that you would need either a plugin or an external application. I don't know of one currently available.
Again, exporting metadata to a text file is a job for a plugin - but this time there are several available (such as http://www.photographers-toolbox.com/products/lrtransporter.php )

Can a iPad be setup for tethered shooting with a Nikon dslr

Can a iPad be setup for tethered shooting with a Nikon Camera

Not as a standalone solution if you want stuff like live view and all the camera controls on the iPad. If it's just for transferring photos to the iPad for immediate viewing after shooting the Shuttersnitch app comes to mind. Shuttersnitch however requires a WiFi connection that most Nikons don't happen to have. Nikon's wireless dongles for the consumer range of cameras are also somewhat awkward to use whereas the wireless/Ethernet units for the pro range happen to be very expensive. WiFi SD-cards are also a possibility for retrofitting WiFi but they tend to be unreliable, slow and their setup is quite often finicky.
Another solution would be tethering the camera to a laptop (Win or Mac) through USB and connecting the iPad as a secondary wireless tethering device to the computer. There are programs for Mac and Windows incorporating this feature. I once set this up for a friend who does a lot of studio work but it ended up that he just uses the USB-connected laptop almost exclusively. And unless one would be out for a timelapse shooting already carrying tons of gear not a solution for shooting in the field.
Last not least but also not exactly inexpensive is the Camranger remote control for Nikon and Canon DSLRs. It connects to the camera through USB and has its own server and WiFi built in which allows to connect to iOS, Android, Mac and Windows (apps for all available by Camranger themselves). Probably the most flexible and comfortable solution especially when considering that it can be used for multiple cameras and will mot likely also work with future cameras. More information can be found at http://www.camranger.com (I'm in no way affiliated with them and personally don't own a Camranger remote so I would advise some more web research on user experiences).

Tethered shooting with Canon 1Ds MarkII?

I am curious if Lightroom allows for tethered shooting. The Canon software leaves much to be desired and Capture One Pro is a bit steep at $399. I'd like to trash the Canon software and replace it with something more efficient.

Lightroom3 has 2 options to tether directly or
through the EOS Utility software.
