How to transfer images to personal computer from the EOS 5D Mk II

Solution

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

Before connecting the camera to a personal computer, be sure to install the provided software (EOS DIGITAL Solution Disk on CD-ROM) in the personal computer.

For instructions to install the provided software, see the separate sheet, CD-ROM Guide.

1 Set the camera's power switch to <OFF>.

2 Connect the camera to the personal computer.

  • Use the interface cable provided with the camera.
  • When connecting the cable plug to the camera's <> terminal, the cable plug's <> icon must face the front side of the camera.
  • Connect the plug on other end of the cable to the personal computer's USB port.

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

  • When the program selection screen appears on the personal computer, select [EOS Utility].
  • The [EOS Utility] screen will appear on the computer, and the direct image transfer screen will appear on the camera's LCD monitor.
  • If the [EOS Utility] screen does not appear, see Software Instruction Manual in the CD-ROM.
  • Before disconnecting the cable, turn off the camera. 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 or [Pictures] folder in subfolders organized according to the shooting date.

This is to transfer all the images in the 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.
  • Since movie files are larger than still photo files, they will take longer to transfer.
  • During the file transfer, do not disconnect the cable.
  • Shooting will be disabled while the direct transfer screen is displayed.
Options other than [All images] are explained below. To start the image transfer, press the <l> button.
