Using a digital camera with iPhoto 5

I have a nice Kodak camera that is 3.1 MP. It seems like I can only connect my camera to my computer via iPhoto or Kodak's software. I cannot browse the SD card from the computer directly.
Is there some way with iPhoto to browse the cameras images and videos, or do I always have to import the images and videos?
John

Hi John
you can browse the images and video with the image capture application. connect and turn on the camera before launching the application. you can then choose which to import. one other thing, does your camera show up as a removable drive? if it does, open it up as you would a folder.

  • Can't Import large .avi file from digital camera into iPhoto 08

    I have a digital camera with a 4GB SD card. I was shooting video and have several small .avi files on the card and one large .avi file (2.67 GB) on the same card. I did not have a problem importing the small files. iPhoto hung while trying to import the large file. I read in this forum that I should use Image Capture, which I tried. When I used Image Capture on the smaller files (just to see how it worked), my camera would flash while it was transferring. When I tried Image Capture on the large file, the camera did not flash and after about 20 minutes, there didn't seem to be anything going on with the transfer. I also tried an old card reader through Image Capture, and that didn't work either. Should Image Capture be able to handle this size file? Do you know of any way to break up the large file into smaller files on the SD card? What am I missing? Thanks!

    Canon's cameras do not mount on the Desktop. It's a 'feature' of the brand.
    There are several possibilities for Image Capture - including minor directory damage on the card etc. The only solution is get the card to mount, and that means a recent Card Reader.

  • Digital camera with iChat

    I have a digital camera with a usb connection. Can I use that for a video chat? I'm using chat 3.1.9
    Thanks, Michael

    Hi,
    Most likely the answer is No.
    I have a Kodak DC4800 It connects to iPhoto over USB.
    It can not be seen as a Live Camera over this route.
    It does in fact have a very small single channel socket (Smaller than a 3.5mm jack) that has a RCA connector on the other end.
    This can be used to Display pics on a TV Screen (There is a Menu item in the Set up for PAL or NTSC) which can be handy to take Indoor pics if you can not see the display properly. If you have a VCR Recorder you can record video that way.
    I used it to go through a DV converter.
    This was used to convert an Analogue CamCorder but I tried it with the camera.
    If the Video can be seen over USB in say iMovie (It can see many more Video codecs than iChat or Photo Booth) or Quicktime Player (if you have the Pro capabilities to Record) then it will be a question of an Utility for iChat. (http://www.ecamm.com/mac/iusbcam/) This can change the codecs of some USB cameras that have drivers and can be "Seen" in various other apps. (Essentially it converts it to DV format).
    If the USB feed can not be seen in any App you would need a Mac Driver for it much like you would for a WebCam.
    There are Third party Drivers fro many web cams as well as some cameras coming with drivers on the Install Disk or downloadable from the Manufacturer's Web Site.
    However these tend not to exist for Stills cameras, nor do the third Party ones work.

  • Using my digital camera as a webcam

    Hi! I have a Fuji S5000 digital camera. Straight outta the box it is capable of being used as a webcam...but only on a PC. It uses a program called PictureHello. I've heard rumors of third party developers creating programs that let MAC users use their digital cameras as webcams as well. Anyone know if there may be such a program or where I may find it? Any guidance is appreciated.
    Thanx!

    Dave,Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    iChat in Panther allows the use of any camera with a Firewire connection. This little piece of software says it allows you to do the same with any USB camera (which I assume yours is).

    P.S. MAC = Media Access Control, you are using a Mac.

    Since upgrading to Mavericks my iMac no longer recognizes my digital camera.  iPhoto will open, but my camera never appears in the source list or goes into import mode.  Help!

    I found that if you open iMage Capture App that seems to trigger iPhoto to open and thew camera is connected.  At least that happens with my camera.  Good luck.

  • How can I use a USB camera with cRIO 9022. Please see my strange problem.

    Hi,
            I would like to use a USB camera with NI cRIO 9022. I used the same USB camera with NI USB 6216 DAQ device and developed a VI(within a PROJECT and outside it). So, It is working fine with NI USB 6216 device when I use the Vision Assistant Express VI and gets detected in its Initialization Window.  Please see JPEG File 3 where I get NO ERROR.
            I am facing a problem when I want to use it with NI cRIO 9022. What exactly I am doing in this case is:
    1) Create a NEW PROJECT
    2) Add Targets and Devices(NI cRIO 9022)
    3) Use the Scan Interface mode
    4) Create a NEW VI under the cRIO 9022 device 
    5) Use a Timed Loop(Synchronized with Scan Engine) for continuous Data Acquisition and Sending from the Analog I/O modules.
    6) Use the Vision Assistant available through the NI Vision Acquisition 2010 Module(I get STUCK HERE! The Express VI opens the Initialization Window, but I don't see the USB camera like in JPEG File 3)
    I am facing difficulties with this HOST COMPUTER, cRIO implementation differences. On my host computer I have the software packages as shown in JPEG File 1, and on my cRIO 9022 as shown in JPEG File 2.
    Can someone guide me how to overcome this and get the USB camera detected when I am using NI cRIO 9022?
    NOTE: If this is a problem with software mismatches on HOST and NI cRIO 9022 device, please see JPEG Files 1 and 2 for available software and Host and cRIO 9022.
    Thanks.
    Amar.

  • How to use the Bloggie camera with Apple iMovie software.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Follow these steps to use the Bloggie® camera with the Apple® iMovie® program.
    Power on the camera and connect directly to a USB port on the computer.
    Once the camera is detected by your computer, the iMovie software should open automatically. If the iMovie software does not open automatically, go to the Applicationsfolder and open it from there.
    In the iMovie window, choose Import from Camera...
    Choose which clips you want to import and choose the Done button or choose the Import All...button to import all the clips.
    NOTE: You can use the standard iMovie interface to edit and create movies from your video taken with the camera. For more information about how to use the iMovie program, refer to the Help menu in iMovie or visit http://www.apple.com/support/imovie.

  • Digital Camera with Video Capability

    Being the father of newborn twins, I've agonized over the pros and cons of having either a digital video camera that can take skills, or quality digital camera with video capability.  What digital cameras offer the best video options?

    TheLexMachine wrote:
    If you can afford it, get a camcorder that takes stills. The quality is on par with a point and shoot camera and you get better video than you'd get out of a digital still camera that takes video. 
    Camcorders take terrible stills.  I have tried all of the top-of-the-lines camcorders from Panasonic, Canon and Sony and none of them takes even a halkfway decent still.  A P&S will still take far superior photos to any camcorder.
    Rrrrrrr wrote:
    Taking photos or taking videos. I'd go for the one you think you'd do more of.
    I would agree with that.
    If you can afford both, get both.  If you can't, then check out the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3.  It takes good stills and pretty good 720p video for about $240.  If you want a very good camera that takes better 1080p video than most (all?) consumer camcorders, then check the Panasonic DMC-GH1K, which goes for over $1000.  It is a DSLR so its stil capabilities will be well beyond any of the other cameras I mentioned.  If you decide to purchase 2 seperate pieces of equipment, then you could also check out the Fujifilm FinePix F70EXR for stills(about $200) and the Sony Handycam HDR-CX500V for video (about $750) or the Panasonic HDC-HS250 ($600).  I would avoid the Canon camcorders right now unless you can afford the S-series cams, as the lower models don't provide very good indoor video for the money.

  • Help using a Windoze Disney Digital Camera in iPhoto

    Alright, I feel somewhat lame posting this question, but here goes....
    My wife bought our daughter the Disney heart-shaped digital camera (model DDC-9000) but it only comes with a CD and drivers for Win 98/ME/00/XP. Does anyone have any idea if there are "universal" type drivers out there for OS X that would allow me to somehow get iPhoto to recognize this camera? It connects via USB but OS X doesn't see it.
    Thanks.

    It's really hard to make these cameras work, I did a search on Google too for this model but turned up with nothing.
    There is a program called Macam which works with webcams, but it may be worth a try to get OS X detect it. I've used it with old Logitech cameras to take pictures with.
