Using USB drive

deel1981 · 03-23-2005, 02:52 AM

Hi everybody,

I want to ask you if somebody have tried to use a digital photo camera like USB drive?

I am talking about Canon A400 - the problem is that I cannot upload any files to it!
I use onl windows XP driver. If I need some special software, tell me !

Thanks in advance!!!

what happens if you 'just attach' the camera in windows?

deel1981 · 03-24-2005, 02:38 AM

OK I can download pictures and movies
and delete from Windows exolorer, but I can not upload anything!
And with other cameras it works, but maybe for Canon I need some special software

weird, i use my Fuji camera for this sort of job all the time, comes in handy as the PC at work wont burn CDRW's

does the camera in question use a memory card or does it depend on internal memory? cause you could always use a memory card reader/writer to put stuff on the thing

It is with SD memory card,
but I don't have reader and the stupid thing is that the cammera is in my pocket all the time! That's why I dont want to use USB drive or something like this! I have 512MB in my pocket all the time and I can't use it for data storage!

does windows know the device is read only when you attach it?

Hey bro... what does your Slack say about that??? No use?

deel1981 · 03-26-2005, 02:05 PM

It is not the windows - I can delete files!
And thechnobeast - about my slack I had to delete it cause you know the disk is smal and here I am working with C# and VS.NET
UPS yes and belgium beer cheers

What is the exact error message when you try to 'upload' something? What do you use to upload the files?

deel1981 · 03-27-2005, 06:11 AM

Gref, this is the problem!
NO ERROR message at all!
Just when I try to paste something it is not working

the paste option in the right click menu is not active!

I found in the net some similar problem with another model of canon and they sqid that thev can upload only jpg files - but I can not do even this!

I think that I will have to read the manual

(

Now have some free time and I will try some different options!

**greffov** · 03-27-2005, 09:21 AM

hmmm, that's weird!

deel1981 · 03-27-2005, 10:56 AM

Well now I know what is the problem - it is CANON -
now I installed all the stupid software from the CD that were in the box and I found one option there to upload pictures!
Using this software you can upload only files with .jpg extention!
May be under linux it will work without this software - I think that it is all about the driver !
It is realy stupid that they dont allow to upload with windows explorer!
Thank you all for the help!

**greffov** · 03-27-2005, 12:11 PM

hmmm... that's really dirty man!

deel1981 · 03-28-2005, 02:36 AM

And now I found out that I can upload pictures that are made with canon camera and not edited - it is realy stupid! The next step is a USBDrive!

deel1981 · 03-29-2005, 02:03 AM

Mistake - only jpg - some made with the my friend's camera were uploaded successfuly

Stupid computers
