Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / September 2005CR2 files access problem (D20)
When my brand new D20 is mounted as a drive .CR2 files don't show up in the list of files on the CF card. Digital Photo Professional does see these CR2s but can't open/preview them. The only way to get to the files are through the CF card reader. This is ok but I am wondering if anything is wrong with my new D20... Did anyone have a problem like this? And/or any idea what it is all about and is it fixable? Win XP Pro Canon firmware 2.0.2 WIA 5.4 Any help is greatly appreciated. - len PS JPG files don't have this problem. Yes, I had the same issue and received good advice here a few weeks ago. Basically, either use the card reader or download Canon ZoomBrowser [or other] software.

I do have ZoomBrowser EX 5.5 installed (from my PowerShot S70) but it keeps showing the message saying that the camera is busy and tells to turn off the LCD even when it is off. Maybe it is not a such big of a deal if you had the same problem. Of course this is assuming that was the only problem with the camera that you've noticed. Or should I be on a lookout for something else? >I do have ZoomBrowser EX 5.5 installed (from my PowerShot S70) but it >keeps showing the message saying that the camera is busy and tells to >turn off the LCD even when it is off. Correction - it is EX 5.0, sorry... Well, not sure about that. Installing ZoomBrowser worked for me. [I hadn't thought it would be needed as it wasn't even included in the sftware package with my 20D.] Its probably a software issue. I assume the camera can successfully be seen when you shoot JPG. Possible reinstall ZoomBrowser. Or just use the card reader. [I might be curious too since the camera was a fairninvestment and you'd like to be sure its perfect.] SignatureRemove -NOSPAM- to contact me. >Well, not sure about that.

But I am not going to obsess about it - I'll see how it goes and if there are more problems then I'll exchange it. I do love the camera - more then my D70 that I switched from Thank you for the shared experience and your help. -len > When my brand new D20 is mounted as a drive .CR2 files don't show up > in the list of files on the CF card.

What you describe is completely "by design". Best solution is to simply get a cheap/nasty card reader - "zoom browser" is something I looked at some years ago - not sure if they've improved it much over the years, but 5 years ago it was pretty aweful - no way I'd let it near any of my computers. Hope this helps. >> When my brand new D20 is mounted as a drive .CR2 files don't show up >> in the list of files on the CF card. > >What you describe is completely "by design". Actually it does seem that this IS by design. Here is a quote from "Canon Camera WIA Driver v5.4" readme: "Cautions on Windows XP -------------------------------------------------------------- 1. General cautions -------------------------------------------------------------- ... (2) RAW images in the camera will not be saved in a computer with WIA-TWAIN driver..." It is an nteresting way to put as "caution"... Thank you for the help. >When my brand new D20 is mounted as a drive .CR2 files don't show up >in the list of files on the CF card.

Set the "commuication" parameter in the camera to "PC Connection" rather than "Print/PTP". It won't pump RAW files out to a printer. >Set the "commuication" parameter in the camera to "PC Connection" >rather than "Print/PTP". It won't pump RAW files out to a printer. It doesn't seem to be the sourse of the problem as it was/is set to "Normal" - I assume this is what you are referring to as "PC Connection" as the other option is "PTP". Just to clarify - the card reader I am using is a separate unit and the printer is turned off. |
