Connecting the Camera to Your Computer
● Use only the dedicated interface cable 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 USB devices.
● The connection may not operate correctly if you are using other USB devices,
excluding USB mouse or keyboards, at the same time. If this occurs, disconnect
the other devices from the computer and try reconnecting the camera.
● 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 a malfunction.
● When unplugging the interface cable, be sure to grip the sides of the plug as you
pull it out.
● 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
communication, 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.

Displaying Images
This section describes how to display images stored on a CF card in a camera or your
computer.
You can display images stored on a CF card via the interface cable while the CF card is still in
the camera. Or you can display images stored on a CF card using a third-party card reader.
This section describes how to display images stored on a CF card in the camera.
Select a folder that contains images to be displayed.
● Double-click [EOS XXX] and then
click the plus symbol [ + ] to the left
of the [DCIM] folder s the
[xxxCANON] folder in [Tree View
Area].
● “10D” (the camera model) is
displayed in place of the “XXX” in
[EOS XXX].
● A number between 100 and 999 is
displayed in place of the “xxx” in
[xxxCANON].
\ The images saved in the selected
folder are displayed.
Images that have been processed on your computer after being shot or images whose
file name has been changed may not be displayed properly.
● The following images can be displayed in File Viewer Utility.
• JPEG images
• RAW images shot on a Canon digital camera
• TIFF images saved in File Viewer Utility (➞W-34)
*
Images that cannot be displayed by File Viewer Utility appear as a question mark [?].
● For either displaying images stored on a CF card in a third-party card reader, or
displaying images stored on your computer, follow the same procedure of clicking
the target folder to display them.
● If RAW images are included in images to be displayed, there may be a short delay
before the images appear.
● You can copy the folder by dragging it and dropping it on another folder in [Tree
