How to download images with direct transfer

Solution

By connecting the camera to a personal computer, you can transfer images from the camera's CF card by operating the camera. This is called direct image transfer.

Before connecting the camera to the personal computer, be sure to install the bundled software (EOS Digital Solution Disk/ CD-ROM) in the personal computer.

For instructions on how to install the software, see "Software Guide."

1 Connect the camera to the personal computer.
  • Turn off the camera's power switch before connecting it.
  • Use the USB cable provided with the camera to connect it to the personal computer.

2 Set the camera's power switch to <ON>.

  • When the program selection screen appears on the personal computer, select [EOS Utility]. When the camera model selection screen appears, select your camera's model.
  • The [EOS Utility] screen will appear on the computer, and the [Direct Transfer] screen will appear on the camera's LCD monitor.
  • While the direct transfer screen is displayed, pressing the shutter button halfway will not return the camera to shooting-ready.
  • Before disconnecting the cable, turn off the camera first and pull out the cable by grasping the plug (instead of the cord).

Transferring images to a personal computer

The images sent to the personal computer will be saved in the [My Pictures] folder (Windows) or [Pictures] folder (Macintosh) in subfolders organized according to shooting date.

Transfer all the images in the CF card to the personal computer.
  • Select [All images], then press the <> button.
  • The <> button's blue lamp will blink and the image transfer will start.
  • When the image transfer is completed, the lamp will stay on.

Options other than [All images] are explained below. To start the image transfer, press the <> button.

  • [New images]

Images which have not yet been transferred to the personal computer will be selected by the camera automatically for the transfer.

  • [Transfer order images]

You select the images to be transferred to the personal computer in a batch. To select the images, follow the instructions below
