Canon 350D Raw image download
Hi Group,
I have taken some images with my Canon DSLR in RAW mode but find that I am unable to download them to my computer. The error message I get with Windows is that there are no images on the camera, but they are clearly there because I can see them in playback view on the camera screen. Even the supplied Canon software cannot see them! Does any one have some suggestions, please? Thanks, jpd -- john p davies |

I assume you hooked the camera directly to the computer, and/or took the memory card out of the camera and hooked it directly to the computer? --- Dave |

Hi Dave,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I did both with the same result. All jpeg taken with this camera can be downloaded with no fuss. I am confused! jpd In article h4Umj.3495$fs4.2244@trnddc02, David Nakamoto writes john p davies wrote: Hi Group, I have taken some images with my Canon DSLR in RAW mode but find that I am unable to download them to my computer.

Even the supplied Canon software cannot see them! Does any one have some suggestions, please? A couple. Have you tried plugging the camera into a different computer? (There's no need to install any of the Canon software.) That should help you determine if the problem is with the computer or the camera. If that points to a computer issue, I'd try removing the Canon drivers. You might also try a CF card reader- they are cheap and are generally a better way to get data off a camera than plugging in the camera itself. _________________________________________________ Chris L Peterson Cloudbait Observatory http://www.cloudbait.com |

These cameras present as either mass storage devices or as imaging devices, using drivers that are built into XP. I've never seen any need to install the Canon drivers at all (and IMO, the fewer third party drivers you need to use, the better off you are). _________________________________________________ Chris L Peterson Cloudbait Observatory http://www.cloudbait.com |

Hello Group,
Problem solved! The card had become corrupted and so could not be read by any medium. I removed the card and the camera battery , left overnight and lo and behold, it all worked. Files were transferred via a card reader to the Canon software. Thanks for all your helpful suggestions. jpd In article , John p davies writes Hi Group, I have taken some images with my Canon DSLR in RAW mode but find that I am unable to download them to my computer.
