Hi, Ive got an EOS1000 been reading its possible to shoot straight to a laptop using a USB ive installed the canon software but cant seem to suss it out.

Can anybody shed any light on what I should be doing?


Many Thank Yous

Rob
 
connect the camera by usb to the laptop and startup canons EOS utility... I think it should work from there, and you'll want to check the settings to see where it saves to etc
 
Smashing thank you.. Save the wife saying can I have a look at every shot haha.

works perfectly, brilliant thanks ( also updating my firmware 4 versions whilst at it lol)

Ah, good. I wasn't 100% on it, its been that long since I used it last.
 
You might want to try Lightroom3 if you shoot in RAW. :)

Great software to process files and also support tethered shooting. There is 30 day trial available online.
 
I just tried this on my laptop. It's great!! I had no idea until today that the eos utility offered this.
 
Ive just bought a backdrop setup and the wife wanted some high gain photos of the lad. so rather then take them and her saying can I have a look after every shot I just got a really long cable and made her sit at the bottom of the garden well away from me haha.

I havent actually used LR with my 1D as i dont have the correct firewire cable to connect to my laptop..but ive used it with my 30D and it was fine..so i cant see you having any problems..1d mkii is listed as compatible i believe ;)
