Then you can just take the CF card out of your camera, put it to the card reader and see your pictures as being files on an external disk.Ĭard readers of many types exist (internal for desktops, external multi-format boxes, external one-format-only small sticks, PC cards), so you can find the most convenient one. If you have problems with connection the camera to your computer then I strongly suggest to buy a USB CF card reader. The point is that Canon (unlike many other camera makers) does not implement the 'Mass storage device' approach to USB connection, which would allow you to connect the camera to any Windows 2000, XP or Vista computer (as well as to same Macs) without installing anything and you would immediately see the content of your card as a disk and use any way of copying/moving/renaming/deleting/viewing files, which you are familiar with. I found that PC connection was giving a immediate display of the pictures present through the EOS Utility tool, whereas the other mode seemed to first review all the pictures (could take several minutes on a full 1GB card) before letting me select and start downloading.

In order to get the pictures to a computer you must install some software and then, when connecting the camera, you are more or less the hostage of that software with its own ideas about what is good for you. On the 350D, I was able to select between two modes of 'Communication': Print PTP or PC connection. Please note that using the EOS Utility option means that you are running with drivers that have not been tested and verified to work with MaxIm DL, so this option should only be used if you encounter problems operating the camera. Connecting to a PC is one of the chronic disease of all Canon cameras. To do this, install the Canon EOS Utility software for your camera model, and then set this option to EOS Utility.
