Setting a Camera with [Communication] Settings

For a camera with [Communication] included as a menu function, you can communicate with
EOS Utility to download images to your computer by selecting a [Communication] setting.
The setting on this page is necessary for the EOS 5D, EOS 30D, EOS 20D, EOS 10D,
EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT/350D DIGITAL and EOS DIGITAL REBEL/300D DIGITAL.
For cameras other than the above, it is not necessary to perform settings for the
camera. Continue with the procedure in "Connect the Camera and the Computer and
then Start EOS Utility" (p.1-3).
1 Check that the camera is not connected to the computer and then
set the camera's power switch to <ON>.

Set the camera's [Communication].
With the EOS 30D, set [ Communication]
in menu to [Print/PC].
Set the [Communication] for other
cameras in the same procedure as the
EOS 30D, using the following for a
reference.

When setting the [Communication], always ensure that the camera is not connected
to the computer beforehand. Setting the [Communication] while the camera is
connected to the computer will cause camera and software malfunctions.
When using the EOS 5D or EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT/350D DIGITAL, the remote
shooting function and camera setting function in EOS Utility cannot be used if the
camera's [Communication] is set to [Print/PTP].
When using the EOS 30D, the camera and EOS Utility cannot communicate if the
camera's [Communication] is set to [LAN (WFT-E1)].
When using the EOS 20D, EOS 10D or EOS DIGITAL REBEL/300D DIGITAL, the
camera and EOS Utility cannot communicate if the camera's [Communication] is set
to [PTP].
With the EOS 10D, you must change the firmware to version 2.0.0 or later. For details
on changing, refer to the Canon's web site.
