Tethering canon 300d

How can I connect a canon 300d to aperture?

This may be a solution which I have yet to fully test:
Apple Script:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/aperturehotfolder.html
Canon EOS Utility 2.5.1 Updater for Mac OS X:
http://www.canon.com.au/products/cameras/digital_slr/eos300d.aspx
For the updater to work you will need the origional Canon EOS Digital Solution Disk that came with the camera.
Notwithstanding that this might be a solution the Tether features in Aperture working with the 300D would have been a more elegant solution.

  • Aperture 2.1 will not import .crw from my Canon 300D Digital Rebel?

    Hi
    I am having problems with Aperture 2.1. I have a number of RAW files on my Canon 300D DSLR, which will not import into Aperture. Aperture recognises the camera and the photos via USB connection directly to the camera. However, when I click on import all (or for that matter if I attempt to import a single photo) I receive the following error box:
    "Import From Capture Card Completed with Errors - 0 images have been imported into the project named "untitled project". - Aperture failed to import the 19 images listed below:"
    It then list all of the images, for instance: CRW_0309.CRW.
    I am almost certain that Aperture 2.1 is compatible with the Canon 300D and .crw files: does anyone have any idea why I am having problems? Please feel free to ask me any questions, which may help you to understand my issues.
    This is my first post, sorry if I've done anything wrong.

    You might be onto something there nbirchler ... whilst I have not installed all the Canon software I have got the Canon remote capture installed ... but more to the point I have iPhoto, Aperture, Elements, Photoshop, FinepixViewer, Adobe DNG and various RAW developer type packages, as well as god knows what else lurking ... maybe one of these was interfering as I had not specified a default program to interface with my camera.
    Does anyone know if there is a window (shouldn't use that word in Appleland really lol), or menu in OSX (perhaps in system preferences or something) for selecting the default image download software for your camera? I assume if you say 'yes' to iPhoto on bootup, or 'yes' to Aperture it must just tick a box somewhere in OSX ... wheres the box?
    It would be useful to interface directly with OSX before I insert my camera and ensure I have the package I want to open selected.

  • Camera wont capture when Tethering Canon T5i in Lightroom 4.4. Tried with and without card.

    I just unboxed a Canon T5i (700D). I've been shooting with a T2i for the past three years tethered to LR4 with no problem. Now with the T5i, i connect the camera, set up a new tether session and LR detects the camera in the pop up bar, but the sections for Shutter Speed, Aperture, and ISO are blank. The capture button is able to be clicked, but the camera does not respond. When the shutter on the camera is pressed, also no response. I have tried this with and without the SD card. I have used three usb cable and two different computers. I have checked for updates and my firmware is current. The camera is set to manual mode in the on position NOT the video position and I am tethering to a Windows 7 computer. Please help!

    You will need LR5 for that camera to be supported for direct tethered capture.  Or you can use the LR "Watched Folder" feature and use the EOS Utility or other tethering software packages.  Here is a list of some options - http://www.tethertools.com/plugging-in/software/

  • Tethering Canon 1D X

    I have been attempting to tether via USB my Canon 1D X to my 13" MacBook Air (OS 10.7.5) and Aperture 3.4.3 and finding no success. I've called Canon Professional Services, and with their help have determined that the computer can see the camera in Image Capture. Further, I set Aperture as the default application to open when the camera connects; however, when I select File/Tether/Start Session and the tether HUD opens, it tells me that no camera is detected.
    Just to clarify, I have no trouble shooting tethered with my Canon 5D Mark II.
    Does anyone know the fix for this?

    Thanks. You are absolutely right. With Highlight Tone Priority, the RAW files after they are processes by Aperture are at least 1 stop under-exposed. On import before processing they appear fine. When I import both JPEG and RAW at the same time without Highlight Tone Priority turned on in camera, both RAW and JPEG appear to have the same exposure before and after processing, although the RAW is more FLAT and looks a little under-exposed, but I think that is the difference you would expect between the JPEG processing in Camera and Aperture.
    APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THIS REMINDS ME OF THE RECENT ERROR WHERE PICTURES EDITED IN NIK OR OTHER EXTERNAL EDITORS DID NOT RENDER CORRECTLY IN APERTURE. THESE TYPES OF RANDOM ERRORS ARE GETTING REAL OLD. GET IT TOGETHER OR JUST ANNOUNCE THAT YOU ARE NOT FOCUSED ON PROFESSIONAL SOFTWARE ANYMORE.

  • Tethering Canon 5D MkIII w/10.8

    I'm curious to know if anyone has managed to tether their Canon 5D MkIII to a computer running OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion?  The latest version of Aperture claims to support this but I'd rather not buy the software before I know it works.  Apple also no longer offers a trial version of Aperture.  For the record, at this date no other software supports this such as EOS Utility, Lightroom, Capture One, or DSLR Assistant. 

    That is why I use the 5D3, it takes both CF and SD cards. When using the eyefi card I save RAW to the CF card and the lowest res jpeg to the SD (eyefi) card. With the 5D3 the RAW files can be 27-30MB in size while the jpeg are aroung 750KB. Wireless transfer of the RAW files is therefore much slower with the eyefi card.
    With the eyefi card you set up which networks it will attach to. You can setup private networks, Direct mode and what to do with Public Hotspots.
    I have it set to work on my home network of course and also on an ad-hoc network. I use a Macbook air and when away or on location I setup the macbook to create an ad-hoc network called "stevesmacbook" or similar and I have already set the eyefi card up to "Attach' to this network when it doesn't find my home network.I think this is using the direct mode.
    You also need to specify on the eyefi card where it will save/ send the files to. I have a portable 500GB hard drive that plugs into the Macbook and on that I have a folder called "Today" and this is the folder I specify on the eyefi card. I got caught out a couple of times by creating a new folder on the HDD to save the current photos to and set this folder up as the monitored folder for aperture etc and then couldn't work out why the photos were not showing until I remembered that the eyefi card was sending them to a different folder!
    I use Aperture Hot Folder to also monitor that folder and when I run Aperture I set up a new project that uses the same folder.
    As I shoot I get a full RAW file saved to the CF card and the S3 jpeg to the SD eyefi card that then automatically sends it wirelessly to the "Today" folder on the HDD connected to the Macbook Air. Aperture Hot Folder sees that a new photo has appeared and shows it in Aperture.The first file when you start up, or after you have had a break for a while, is slow to appear but then the subsequent photos pop up pretty quickly. I guess you would have to test for yourself to see if it is fast enough for your requirements. It probably would be OK for my school shoots but, they are usually pretty hectic so I just didn't want to add the extra "thing" to think about at this stage. When shooting portraits in my "Studio"  ( some may call it a double garage) I use the eyefi system all the time - With the macbook air connected to an appleTV showing the photos on a 55inch LCD TV!
    Once setup, and it isn't as complicated as it probably sounds, it all works automatically and easily.
    As I shoot I watch the photos ( or an assistant does for schools) and picks the "Keepers" by giving them a 1 star rating in Aperture and we also put the persons name in the Title field of the metadata for the choosen photos.
    When the shoot is finished I open aperture and look at the jpeg files and filter to only show the "Keepers" I then plug the CF card into a card reader on the mac and import them using the "Matching RAW" option and the "current filter" option. Aperture then imports only the RAW files that match the Keeper photos and the RAW files have the metadata matched. I then select to view the Raw files and away I can go with post and printing.
    It all sounds complicated but isn't really. (Thinking of maybe doing a youtube video to show the setting up and use - which would be easier to follow).
    BTW - As I said before I have had no trouble shooting tethered into Aperture with the 5D3 before or after Mountain Lion and the issue with Lightroom was that Adobe hadn't updated to include tethered shooting for the 5D3 until they released 4.2. Now they have I can shoot tethered direct to Lightroom. It hasn't been a Mountain Lion issue for me at all.
    Hope this helps

  • More RAW issues - Canon 300D

    Just a quick search through this forum shows that others have had RAW conversion problems, I imported my iPhoto library into Aperture 3 from the App Store, the RAW files all look terrible - a red / pink cast which is impossible to fix. Has anyone else seen this with the 300D (original cheap DSLR from Canon). Just wondered. Thanks.

    Bob thanks again for the quick reply. I tried your experiment and got the same result in Aperture, the red haze over two files which look great in iPhoto. I imported them into Adobe Camera Raw (the Photoshop Elements version) and they look fine in there too.
    I don't know why but I just had a thought doing this, the older files came from my old Windows machine, where they had been stored in Photoshop Elements, and in the past I had converted them from Canon's .CRW file format to Adobe's .DNG format. I've just checked in Aperture, and it is indeed only these which are washed out - all of the Canon .CRW files look fine, it's the Adobe .DNG files which are a mess. I'll hazard a guess that Aperture doesn't support the Adobe .DNG format I have and that is the issue, but why they are supported in iPhoto and no the professional app I can't imagine. A call to Apple tomorrow morning is in order to sort this on out I think unless you or any of this excellent forum's followers can offer help. I'm going to post this DNG issue as a separate post just in case.
    Thanks Bob.

  • Tethered Canon 5d 64 bit workaround.

    I have been really disappointed with the lack of 64 bit tethered support for the Canon 5d Mark 2.
    So much so I decided to evaluate Capture One .. and it worked!!
    What's more interesting is that having installed the Capture One trial Lightroom 3 recognised the 5D Mark 2 which appears to work perfectly.
    Interesting eh!!    I wonder why Canon or Adobe can't do what Phase One have done.

    This is not true for the 5D Mk II, but for 5D (see here):
    5D, 1D Mark II, 1Ds Mark II, EOS 350D (Rebel XT/EOS Kiss Digital N) on
    Windows require a driver downloaded from Canon. This driver is not
    available for 64-bit versions of Windows.
    I'm running tethered on Win7 64-Bit with a 5D Mk II without any other (besides Canon) software/drivers installed. But my 1Ds Mk II wont work in Win7 64-Bit :-(

  • Camera Showing "Busy" When Tethering (Canon Rebel XT)

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm new to tethering and such, but I thought I would give it a go. The problem I seem to be having is that the camera is flashing "Busy" on the display and wont let me take any photos. I am trying to tether my Canon Rebel XT to Aperture 3.1 on my Mac Pro running 10.6.4. The firmware version on the camera seems to be 1.0.2 (although I have no idea how to update that should that be the issue).
    Any help would be great! Thanks!
    Phil

    Change your communication settings within the camera to normal (not PTP). To access the settings from the camera itself, select Menu and then tab along until you see communications, then select normal from the options.

  • Tethering Canon

    Has anyone managed to find a way to tether Canon 1DS mk11 or the Canon 5D mk11 ?
    Thanks

    Nope.
    In a way this is kinda funny. Damned program won't connect to my camera, but every time I try to do an import my scanner gets top preference. It doesn't tether (import files) from there either.
    Jerry
    Some may suggest using a "hot folder action" (automator) or Canon's DPP/Utility.
    I can assure you both are lousy.
    The more reliable of the two is Canon's software but it's slow, although not as slow as using the automator "Hot Folder".
    I can't recommend either of the above.
    I am waiting to see if anyone has a better solution.

  • Having a difficult time tethering Canon 6D to OS X 10.9.1 laptop.

    For a short time the tethering worked, but now it shows an error message that it cannot connect to camera.  Any thoughts?

    The System Management Controller may not have much to do
    with the issue found in copying a picture into Pages from Mail.
    After upgrading to Mavericks, did you check for other system
    update or upgrades in addition? Also, by now the Mavericks
    OS X 10.9.2 with security fix and updates has been out, too.
    Software Update should be able to show available items.
    If there were any other updates to Mail or Pages, they may
    (or not) be of some help, of that I am not certain.
    Had you tried to use Disk Utility's 'repair disk permissions'
    on the Macintosh HDD, in D.U's first aid section?
    There may be some ideas on the topic in the Help viewer, in
    either Pages help, or Mail help, in your system; it will access
    Apple Support database as well as a help files in the Mac OS.
    Perhaps someone else with more immediate experience in
    your stated issue will see this and enter the discussion.
    Maybe there is another way to add an image from email
    into a Pages document? To Import, or export.
    You could also attempt to sort out similar issues online via
    a search in google or yahoo (use 'Mac OS X' first in search)
    and see what comes up, with usual modifiers to look deeper.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • IPhoto import problems from Canon EOS 300D.

    iPhoto recognises the camera, says it is 'loading' but just hangs there. Tried all trouble shooting tips. My pocket Canon IXUS camera works fine (iMac running Yosemite latest version of iPhoto).

    Hi Keith, I had the same problem with my Canon 300D on iPhoto/iMac/Yosemite. What worked for me was changing the setting on my camera, menu-tools2, communication: normal -> PTP. This was a trick I found on a MS Windows forum (win7/win8 support). Hope this works for you as well! (you might need to wait a bit if you have a lot of pictures, the flashing red led will promise success )
    Cheers, AR

  • "Bad" colors/banding when going into Edit mode with Canon RAW files

    Just got my iLife '06 suite yesterday and ran into something very disturbing: something wrongwith the colors of RAW files once you go into editing mode. In the library view, they're fine. Try to edit one, and after a few seconds, there's a final refresh of the image window that heavily alters and bands the colors. (Looks almost like a poor conversion down to 256 colors or less - it's that bad).
    This is happening on Canon 300D and 20D raw files, and did NOT happen with iPhoto 5. The RAW files open up and display just fine in Preview (as well as 3rd party apps) - problem is in iPhoto 6 only. I've already sent in a bug report - has anyone else tried double-clicking on a RAW file to go into Edit mode yet?
    David Miller

    I use Huey from Pantone to calibrate my monitor for consistancy in different lighting situations and across applications. But the same effect happens by choosing any one of the non-standard monitor calibrations.
    Try this:
    Choose a RAW photo and monitor calibratioin that causes the banding and discoloration.
    Open the RAW photo in Edit mode and wait the couple of seconds for banding to appear.
    Next, adjust the image size slider so that scroll bars appear at the bottom and right side of the photo. It doesn't take much. Notice the banding disappears!
    Now grab one of the scroll bars and move it. Observe the banding and discoloration. And, when you release the scroll bar the banding disappears again.
    I don't remember this happening with iPhoto 5.
    I think it has something to do with the display
    calibration. After I first saw this I switched back
    to my default iMac G4 profile, and the problem wasn't
    there anymore. I'm not sure what the difference is. I
    set up several different profiles, each with
    different choices for Advanced, White Point and
    Gamma, and some trigger this banding, and some do
    not.
    Anybody have any similar experiences?

  • Importing RAW images from Canon 450D SLR

    I run iPhoto 6 and I have recently updated my digital SLR from a Canon 300D to a 450D. I was able to import CRW Raw files from the 300D but iPhoto will not import Raw images from the 450D (jpegs are ok), which are now coded CR2 instead of CRW. I note that there is a Raw image software update, available but this is only for iPhoto 8. Short of updating to iPhoto 8 is there another solution?

    I was afraid that might be the answer, but many thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
