Precautions for Connecting the Camera to the Computer

• When connecting the camera to the computer with an interface cable, make sure to connect the cable directly to the computer’s USB port. The connection may not operate correctly if you attach the camera to the computer via a USB hub.

• The connection may not operate correctly if you are using other USB devices, excluding

USB mice or keyboards, at the same time as the camera. If this occurs, disconnect the other devices from the computer and try reconnecting the camera.

• Do not connect two or more cameras at the same time to the same computer. The connections may not operate correctly.

• Do not allow the computer to go into sleep (standby) mode while a camera is connected via the USB interface cable. If this does happen, do not disconnect the interface cable. Try to awaken the computer with the camera in the connected state. Some computers will not awaken properly if you disconnect the camera while they are in sleep (standby) mode. Please refer to your computer manual for instructions regarding the sleep (standby) mode.

Supported Image Types

The following is a list of image types supported by ImageBrowser.

JPEG

Most cameras use this image type. It compresses at very high ratios, taking advantage of the characteristics of the human eye. However, because it is an irreversible compression method (part of the data is lost during compression), if you process and save an image repeatedly using this method, the image may become rougher.

Exif JPEG is an image type that adds information such as shooting data to a JPEG image.

RAW

This is a proprietary image type provided by Canon. It allows the output of the image pixels from a digital camera without any deterioration in the quality of the image.

Some cameras might not support this image type.

Y

PICT

This is the standard image type for Macintosh. This image type is supported by most

Macintosh software.

TIFF

This is a relatively popular image type. It is widely supported by non-Macintosh programs (such as Windows).

COP

BMP (Windows Bitmap)

This image type comes standard with Windows. Most Windows programs support it.

AVI (.AVI)

Standard Windows movie type. The movie icon appears in ImageBrowser’s Browser

Area.

MOV (.MOV)

Movie type. The movie icon appears in ImageBrowser’s Browser Area.

Troubleshooting

Please read this section if you encounter a problem using the software.

Start by Checking This

Investigate the following points first if you encounter a problem.

Does your computer satisfy the requirements listed in the System

Requirements section?

See “System Requirements” in the Camera User Guide.

Is the camera correctly connected to the computer?

See the Camera User Guide for the correct connection procedures. Also check to ensure that you are using the correct cable and that it is securely attached at both ends.

Y

Are the camera and computer in the correct modes to transfer data?

Some models require the camera to be set to the playback mode to transfer data. See the Camera User Guide for details.

Check the battery charge if you are powering the camera with a battery. You are recommended to use an AC adapter (sold separately) to power the camera when it is connected to a computer.

Problems

You can’t find transferred images.

Refer to “Changing the Transfer Destination Folder” to confirm where the destination

folder is.
