Can someone please assist with my predicament.
When trying to transfer my latest photos from my 300d camera to the PC, using a direct USB cable connection, the files would not transfer.
The LCD panel on the camera flashed " busy " but nothing else was happening.

Have I inadvertantly activated something in a program on the camera without knowing it ?

I would welcome any observations.

NOTE
I transfered the memory card to my other 350d body and the files transferred OK. So its not a problem with the card.

Assuming some menu similarities between your camera and the 30D: in the camera menu, do you have "Communication" set to "LAN (WFT-E1)" rather than "Print/PC"?

You need the latter...

Keith,
To the best of my knowledge I have not changed any of the menu settings since I last successfully transferred some files.
However, I have checked the communication as suggested and it is currently set as " Normal ".
The only other option available on this 300d model is " PTP ".

I am therfore no wiser !!

Allan do as I did and get a memory card reader.It is a lot less fuss than connecting the camera direct and also saves your battery power.When connected you will get a pop up window asking what programme you want to open the pictures in.Select Photoshop or whatever editing programme you have and Bobs your uncle!

I got a dumb question

Don't you guys take out the memory card to load into the computer?

Hi Gunther.As you know not all PCs have memory card slots (mine doesnt) thats why I use a card reader.Works in the same way.

duh

My blonde roots (now grey) are showing.

I thought maybe there was a reason behind it (the door on the 350D is plastic) and it is something I ought to watch for or some other thing that I don't know about.
