Minimal software to download Canon PowerShot to Mac?

Canon's CameraWindow (at least the version I have, 6.0.0.6) supports transfers from USB card readers. Yes, but this is the opposite of what we're discussing here. The OP wants to use his Canon camera with his iBook while installing the absolute minimum Canon software, and we've already established that the required minimum is nothing at all since Mac OS X already supports USB card readers. -- http://designsbymike.biz/macconsultshop.shtml Mac-themed T-shirts http://designsbymike.biz/musings.shtml Mostly muckraking T-shirts http://designsbymike.biz/prius.shtml Prius shirts & bumper stickers http://cafepress.com/comedancing Ballroom dance-themed shirts & gift |

Even without a card reader, you can configure the Mac not to open iPhoto or any app when a camera is connected, and it'll just mount the card as an external volume. Most Canons don't do USB mass storage. Greg Canon's CameraWindow (at least the version I have, 6.0.0.6) supports transfers from USB card readers. That's great but no help whatsoever to the original poster.

Hei AES
AES wrote: Can anyone say what's the minimal software needed to download photos from a Canon PowerShot A710 to a Mac iBook running OS 10.3.9 via the USB cable? There is no 'minimum' - just plug the camera to the USB, and it'll occour on the desktop. Doubleclick on the camera icon and find the folder containing the pictures and simply drag them to a place/folder after your choice. - Or you can simply drag the whole folder with pics to the folder 'Pictures' in the sidebar in Finder. I really don't want to keep all, or in fact any, of the extensive suite of Canon software that comes with the camera on my Mac. I just want to download the images, in JPEG, not necessarily even RAW, format; and then deal with them with my own software. I don't use Canon myself, but I've seen the software, and I donot like it either... So just follow instructions above for transfering the pics to your computer. After this, just open the picture folder on the camera and drag the content to the trash and empty it. - Now they are also removed from the camera... Simply and easy... And then of course you also can use iPhoto - a part of OS X, but I find this even worse than the Canon software. I'm having an Olympus myself, but I haven't even installed the CamediaMaster software, though it's rather good for organizing etc., but it's so complex in use, and it doesn't always put the pictures, where you want to put them. So for this use, I use GraphicsConverter - picture library mode / slideshow mode, and then edit in Photoshop if necessary.

Hei Mike
Strange - I know a lot of people here, who are using Canon cameras - especially the EOSD and IXUS models. (Some IXUS models in Wurope are identical to some A-models in the US). _ALL_ of these just pop up as HDs when connected...

Cheers, Erik Richard I believe this is true IF you install the Canon software, since doing so will also install a driver. The best way to avoid installing the software is to use a card reader. Card readers are a good investment anyway, since using a camera to transfer pictures requires that the camera can power up. If the camera were to run out of juice in the middle of transferring pictures it is possible (not likely, but possible) to lose all of your pictures. -- "The human adventure is just beginning" |

Digital Rebels and Powershots don't do USB mass storage, I didn't think the other models did either. It's one of the lame things about Canons. I generally trust your posts but this is the second time you've spouted major, easy to check bull****.

the other models did either. It's one of the lame things about Canons. I generally trust your posts but this is the second time you've spouted major, easy to check bull****. Greg -- some do. last week i had an eos 350D and 400D on my desk trying to get them working. i think the 350D's sold as the digital rebel in the US. the 350d can be persuaded to appear as a usb bulk storage device by selecting USB/PC-mode on the camera, rather than the PTP or whatever the other mode is. the 400 can't - the feature's been removed for some reason. drove me bat**** as it just doesn't plain work on our win2k sp4 work clients here in ptp mode - had to use the 350D as an expensive card reader in the end...! i'm sure there's a reason for this but i can't see any justification for removing the ability to appear as a usb bulk storage device on a camera...for when you don't want to install canon's cruft, or want to use it on a new PC... ric |
