Precautions For The Ptp Function; Other Than The Eos-1D Series Cameras - Canon 1236B001 - EOS Digital Rebel XTi Camera SLR Instruction Manual

Precautions for the PTP Function

Due to Windows XP specifications, you may experience the following restrictions with
the PTP function. We recommend downloading shot images using EOS Utility (p.1-6).
• RAW images cannot be downloaded.
(Even if RAW images are displayed, they cannot be downloaded.)
• When a memory card in the camera contains both RAW images and JPEG images,
you may not be able to download the JPEG images.
• Shooting information for downloaded images may be altered or deleted.
• Images cannot be downloaded if there is a large quantity of images in the camera
(approximately 1,000 images).
• It may take several minutes after connecting the camera and your computer until
the PTP function is operational.
• Vertically shot images become horizontal when downloaded, or an image does not
rotate even if you use the Rotate command.
In addition to the above restrictions, you may not be able to download images
correctly depending on your OS version and computer environment.
With the EOS 10D, it is necessary to change the firmware version to 2.0.0 or later. For
details on changing, refer to Canon's web site.
When using the PTP function with the EOS-1D series cameras, connect with the USB
interface cable supplied with the camera.
Downloading Images Using Your Card Reader
You can also download images to the computer using a third-party card reader.

using the same procedure as in
"Downloading All the Images in a Single

Selected Images" (p.1-7).
Depending on the card reader you are using, you may not be able to download
images.
When downloading images using your card reader, the software that can start up is
limited to ZoomBrowser EX.
For information on connecting the card reader to your computer, refer to the card
reader User's Manual.
When downloading images to your computer using a third-party card reader without
using Canon software such as EOS Utility or CameraWindow, refer to "Folder
Structure and File Names" (p.5-4) and copy to your computer the folder with the shot
images.
