Using Your Card Reader - Canon EOS 1D Software Instruction Manual

Connecting the Camera to Your Computer
While the camera and your computer are communicating, the camera's LCD panel
may blink or the image on the monitor may flicker. However, this is not a malfunction.
When unplugging the dedicated cable, be sure to grip the sides of the plug as you pull
it out.
If you do not perform any operation while the camera and computer are connected, a
confirmation message appears on the computer screen asking whether you wish to
continue communicating with the camera for some computer systems. If you do not
perform any operation even after this message appears, the communication with the
camera is terminated. To re-establish the communication, press the shutter button
down halfway or set the camera's power switch to <OFF> and then back to <ON>.
Do not put your computer to sleep while it is connected to the camera.
If your computer goes into the sleep mode, never disconnect the dedicated cable
while your computer is still in the sleep mode. Always wake your computer up while it
is connected to the camera. On some types of computer, disconnecting the dedicated
IEEE1394 cable while your computer is in sleep mode could prevent the computer
from waking up correctly. Refer to the computer User's Manual for more information
on sleep mode.
When the camera is connected to a computer, you should use the DC Coupler Kit.
If your computer has a 4-pin IEEE1394 port, use a Canon 4-pin to 4-pin IEEE1394
cable (optional).
