350D mod busy signal

[telecasterguru]

I want to use my 350D with either Nebulosity or EOS utility but as soon as I plug it in and turn the software on, the camera says busy and stays that way.

Any ideas on how to overcome this?

Thanks

Do you have any images on the card waiting to be transfered to the PC?
Maybe try a different CF card or take the card out or try connecting to the camera through camera window or zoom browser.

Cheers Daniel.

From memory on the 350D connected to the PC this is normal in bulb mode?
I might be wrong.. been a while.

Have you tried connecting to the Canon viaPC successfully and firing off a few test shots?

Are u on vista? If so, u need new drivers. Also, I have to ensure that the bulb lead plug into the camera sometimes has to be a mm or two not in. To do this I cut a small piece of thin rubber around the connector. Not sue if this is a problem for u but it has been mentioned before on IIS.

I do run vista but if I need new drivers, what would those drivers be?

Quick question. Do you have PC connection enabled in the Camera Menu setings?

[telecasterguru]

I do not think that I do. I went through all the menu settings to look for it but could not find it.

T2 menu Setting > Communication

change from "Print/PTP" -to- "PC Connection"

Frank, here is the Canon driver site but try everything else first.
