Getting Ready to Work with
Images
This chapter explains how to connect the camera to your computer and
how to use a card reader (third-party product).
Connecting the Camera to Your Computer
Connect the camera to your computer with the interface cable so that they can communicate.
You can connect the camera while your computer is running.
● When you connect the camera to your computer, be sure to follow the
procedure below.
● Never perform the following operations while the software installed from the
SOLUTION DISK runs after connecting the camera to the computer as a
communications error may occur.
• Setting the camera’s main switch to <OFF>
• Opening the CF card slot cover
• Disconnecting the interface cable, the power cord, or the AC adapter’s plug
• Removing the DC coupler or the battery
Before you perform the operations above, be sure to end the software being
used.
Plug the interface cable into the computer.
1
● Plug the cable into the FireWire
port on the computer.
● You can plug either end of the
cable into the FireWire port.
● The location of the port differs
depending on your computer. Refer
to the User’s Manual for your
computer for details.

Connecting the Camera to Your Computer
About Backing up (Copying) Images
● It is recommended that you should back up (copy) the captured images into the hard disk of
your computer, etc. before working with EOS DIGITAL SOLUTION DISK.
● Use only the interface cable bundled with the camera to connect the camera to your
computer.
● Push the plug firmly all the way into the socket. Loose connections can cause faults
or malfunctions.
● Connect the camera to the computer directly using the interface cable. The camera
and computer may not operate correctly if you connect them via a hub or if you
connect to multiple FireWire devices.
● Do not connect more than one camera to the same computer. The connections may
not operate correctly.
● While the camera and your computer are communicating, the camera’s LCD panel
may blink and, if you are using the LCD monitor, the image on the monitor may
flicker. This is not malfunction.
● 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. (If you are using a household power source, no
message is displayed and the connection is not terminated.) To re-establish the
connection, press the shutter button down halfway or set the camera’s main switch
to <OFF> and then back to <ON>.
● Do not put your computer to sleep while it is connected to the camera.
If you do put your computer to sleep while it is connected to the camera, never
disconnect the interface cable while your computer is still in sleep mode. Always
wake your computer up before disconnecting the camera. On some types of
computer, disconnecting the interface 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.
Getting Ready to Work with Images
When you connect your camera to a computer, you should use the DC Coupler Kit so
that you can continue to use your camera regardless of battery level. It is
recommended that you should set the camera’s Auto power off function to [Off].
