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.

OThe 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.

OFor 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).

1Check that the camera is not connected to the computer and then set the camera’s power switch to <ON>.

2 Set the camera’s [Communication].

O With the EOS 30D, set [ Communication] Operation window in the EOS 30D in menu to [Print/PC].

O Set the [Communication] for other cameras in the same procedure as the EOS 30D, using the following for a reference.

O 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.

OWhen 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].

OWhen using the EOS 30D, the camera and EOS Utility cannot communicate if the camera’s [Communication] is set to [LAN (WFT-E1)].

OWhen 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].

OWith 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.
