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!

  • Stop motion animation help using images from a digital camera...how tricky is this?

    I'm teaching a media arts course for the first time, and I'm trying to figure out how to use images taken with a digital camera, import them to Premiere Elements 7, and put them in the timeline without having to shorten the length of them.  As soon as I drag an image from the project bin onto the timeline, it automatically plays for 5 seconds, and I have to try to shorten it to one frame length.  If that's what it takes, this process is going to take a lot of time, because the students are going to be taking several hundred photos.  If I edit them in the preview, it's still just as difficult.  Is there any way to change the settings before I import the images so that they automatically are one or two frames in length on my timeline?  Your help would be GREATLY appreciated. 

    Welcome to the forum.
    As Steve points out, setting the Edit>Preferences>Still Duration BEFORE Importing, will get what you want.
    When doing Stop-Motion, I find that a Duration = 3 to 5 Frames, works best, but that will depend on the images, how far apart, they were shot, and the exact effect that I want. It might take a little experimenting, to get things correct to both your eye, and to the images from the camera.
    Also, Scaling the Still Images, prior to Import is a very, very good idea, and especially so, with Stop-Motion, as you will have lots of them.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - if you are using Transitions, between the Still Images, you will want to alter the Duration of those too, prior to applying them.

  • 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.
    Here is the link:

  • Using laptop to focus digital camera

    Is there a way to view on the monitor what is seen in the digital camera before snapping the picture? I need to look under the dash and take a picture of an installation before removing it. I cannot get my head behind the camera to focus it. Any ideas?
    CGS

    CGS,
    what camera do you have? Some models include software to take pictures from the computer.
    Please post back.

  • Digital camera not working anymore

    I'm pretty sure this worked at least once since I installed archlinux.
    But now, whenever I plug in my usb digital camera, I get the usual kde dialog
    and I open the digital camera in konqueror, but all I see inside is a blank
    0k file.
    EDIT:..
    also lshwd outputs:

  • Problem uploading from Sony digital camera

    I have iPhoto 2.0.1. I've never had problems with this before, but today this happened:
    When I try to upload photos, I connect my Sony MVC CD 400 digital camera and switch it on. iPhoto opens automatically as usual, but, I get a message "No camera selected."
    Any help for me?
    Thanks so much,

    I can't transfer movies from iphoto to imovie taken with my sony cybershot digital camera. Is there a solution?
    Sony CyberShot digital camera store their clips as MPEG VX (MPEG-1) files which are not edit compatible with iMovie '08 or conversion compatible with QT/QT applications. Use a free third-party, MPEG-based converter like MPEG Streamclip or iSquint to convert the files to an iMovie "edit" compatible compression format. MPEG Streamclip can convert to DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264 formats and iSquint only to MPEG-4 or H.264.

  • Connecting my digital camera to iPod Touch w/o a computer?

    Hi,
    Is there any device that I can use to connect my digital camera to iPod Touch for file transfer without linking up with the computer? I am very interested in finding one for my dad as he wants to use the iPod Touch as a secondary storage and photo viewer when he's taking photos away from home or access to computer.
    Also, is there any photo viewer app for iPod that can display RAW files?
    Please help and thank you very much!

    It would be a great feature to be able to view (and back up) photos on the 'big screen' of an iPod Touch when on holiday for instance.
    For me a reason to (for now not) buy one.
    There's seems to be a possibility to get wifi on your camera. (special card) ??
    Then you could use an app called Regal Media to transfer.
    But anyway it would be much better to be able to just connect the camera to the iPod Touch with usb.
    I hope this will be possible soon.

  • Photoshop doesn't recognize digital camera but iPhoto does.

    I want to use Photoshop with my digital camera (Canon Rebel XT).
    Photoshop is CS4 and iPhoto is at version 8.1.2.
    OSX 10.6.8.
    As soon as I plug-in my camera iPhoto starts, i don't want that.
    I don't see my camera in Photoshop's menu in IMPORT or elsewhere.
    thanks!
    louis

    Couple of things:
    1. That's not what Photoshop does. It's not an image manager, it's a file editor. So, you can set Photoshop to start when you connect your camera but it will stat and nothing will happen.
    2. You need to decide how you want to manage your photos. You can do this with iPhoto, the Finder or something else. Which ever you decide let us know and we can help you set that up.

  • Interfacing java application with digital camera

    Dear all,
    I've a question and I need your help.
    I've my swing/javafx application and I need to interface it with a digital camera.
    How should I proceed? How can I understand which digital camera offers support for java integration?
    Do you have some model for me?
    Thanks

    I don't know anything about using Java directly with digital cameras. However I have a few observations. When you say you want to interface Java with a digital camera, do you mean you just want to display the image in a Java application? If so, you can use the software that came with the digital camera to download the images as *.jpeg (or whatever) to the hard disk. Then you can use Java to easily read the files from the hard disk and display them or move them to some other location. For instance, when you display them in Java, then you can then ask the user to fill out various textfields to go along with the image such as giving a title to the image or a description.
    If instead you want to write Java to grab the images from the camera directly, I think that's a bad idea. I imagine different digital cameras have uniquely written custom software to communicate between the digital camera and say, Windows 7 (I'm guessing). I doubt all the manufacturers have agreed upon a common way to communicate. Therefore if you take this route, you will end up creating a large set of Java programs to communicate with each model of camera. A maintenance nightmare.
    However, I have seen applications such as taking passport photos that appear to communicate directly with a digital camera wired to the computer which I imagine the vendor supplied with the application.

  • Photo Booth with digital camera?

    I'm certain this is a silly question however I can't find the answer: Can photo booth be used with a regular digital camera connected via USB? Thanks...

    That would be great if it was only possible. It just can not be done yet.

  • Olympus Digital Camera with HP 950PSC printer

    Hi there.. i have a IMac G4 flat panel, the pod design.
    I just bought a Olympus Camedia X-550 Digital camera... I have a HP 3-in-one printer, scanner, copier, fax. It is model PSC 950.
    I know that the Olympus takes a xD memory card. Can those be used for the HP PSC 950? If not.. is there some adaptor i can use.
    I don't have the printer hooked up with the computer yet.. as i don't have room for everything on my computer table.
    Of course I'd like to download picture onto my computer too.. but don't want them to hog all my memory.. or worse lose them altogether should the computer crash... Wouldn't it be wise to put these photos onto CD disc and can these be the same type of CD disc that i use to burn my music CD's?
    thanks for your time

    When you print, there is a setup dialogue. Select "Page Setup" then your printer should show up in the drop-down box, click "Properties" you should see three tabs. click on advanced and uncheck the box for automatic enhancement. Keep pluggin' away, we'll find something eventually.

  • How do I prevent automatic caption of OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA?

    The caption field of Metadata automatically fills with OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA.  How can I prevent this?  How can I get rid of this on my 3000 pictures of Turkey without manually deleting each caption?  I am new to Lightroom, and have version 4.1.  I use an iMAC, OSX10.6.8.  Thanks.

    Some camera manufacturers do write the camera type in the caption :
    See this note by John R Ellis in his faqs for Elements:
    "Some camera manufacturers insert the name of the camera in the caption field of a photo’s metadata, and when you import the photo into PSE, it shows up as a caption.  To stop this from happening, uncheck the option Edit > Preferences > Files > Import EXIF Caption.  To remove the caption from photos that have already been imported:
    Do Find > By Caption Or Note and type in the name of the camera.
    Edit > Select All.
    Right-click one of the photos and select Add Caption To Selected Items.
    Leave the caption field blank, check Replace Existing Captions, and click OK."
    There must be an equivalent solution in LR ?

  • IPod to TV using digital camera cable, doesn't work. Help

    Hey
    I've got the iPod 5th Generation 30Gb video. I ripped one of my DVDs onto my computer and then used videora to convert the DVD for use on the ipod. I used iTunes to stick the movie on my iPod.
    The movie plays fine on the ipod, but when I go to connect the iPod to my LG Flatron TV it doesn't work. I am using a cable that came with my digital camera, it only has one black and one yellow rca plug. If I use it with the camera, the black is for video, and the yellow for audio. But on the ipod, I don't get anything. I have checked that the send to TV settings are On.
    I've tried changing the format on the output from PAL to NTSC, nothing.
    One thing I am not sure about is why my cable has got a little box thingy surrounding part of the wire, inside the box thingy are magnets, anyone know why these are here? Could this be what is causing it not to work. What should I do?
    Thanks

    Here is some info for the pinout for the iPod.
    http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/2006/04/zen-vision-m-video-cable-other-4 pole-35mm-pinouts.php
    You need to find the pinout of the camera cable you have.
    Probably be easier to get get an AV cable with a 3.5mm plug to (whatever fits into your TV) cable.
    Usually, you simply have to swap the Red and the Yellow for it to work properly.

  • How can i use a digital camera as webcam?

    the iSight camera *****. I have a 12mp canon digital camera, can i use that in lieu of iSight to use in iChat and Facetime?
    if so, what's the procedure? i have a macbookpro on snowleopard 10.6.8

    Hi,
    The External iSight camera has a 640 X 480 pixel picture as do the early internal ones.
    Later versions of the iSight camera have 1.3mp resolutions and the latest are HD.
    However iChat only sends a max size or 640 X 480 picture and that is dependent on your Processor and Internet Speed. (And to some extent that of your Buddies)
    Using a Stills camera was a web cam can present some problems.
    It is mainly about what input the computer accepts and what the camera has as output.
    I have an older Kodak DC4800
    In addition to the USB Output for transferring pics it has a RCA pin type socket that output TV signals which the camera software can change between NTSC and PAL.
    I then used a DV Converter to input that over FireWire to the computer.
    For iChat this had to be converted to DV as it only accepts DV or certain USB web cam formats that the Mac then converts for iChat (effectively it digitizes the pic).
    My camera did not take Video it just had the Ability to output what the camera saw - basically you could use a TV as a super sized Viewfinder.
    If the camera you have has FireWire and it can do video then you maybe in luck  (It will still depend if the Video format is DV (not mpeg, not HDV or any other format such as AVI)
    If the Video it may do can be sent of USB that will need to be USB 2.0
    Again the format will need to be the type that iChat uses (or the OS software converts).
    For most Stills cameras this is impossible.
