Windows 7 instantly recognized the device and I had no problem whatsoever copying my images over.There are two ways you can update the drivers in Windows 7: manually & automatically just select the way you prefer. While this sounds illogical, it works like a charm. How mistaken I had been! The very first hit pointed to the forums at vista圆4.com, where a very simple solution was offered:Ĭhange the camera’s USB connection mode from “PC” to “Print/PTP”. With my hopes down, I turned to Google as a last resort, not expecting much. I went to Canon’s driver site again only to find that they do not have a single 64-bit driver! Where are those guys living, or better: when? Last millenium? Then it struck me: I am using the 64-bit version of Windows 7. Thinking I could still outsmart the thing I activated the Vista compatibility mode for the installer, but still no luck.
Downloaded it, ran the installer, but it reported it did not support my Windows version. Then I visited Canon’s German driver site, found no driver for Windows 7 (who would have thought otherwise, by now?) but decided to try my luck with the Vista driver. So I waited while Windows 7 contacted Windows Updated, only to report that no driver was available. No, you have to install a driver from Canon. I still knew that the EOS 350D does not present its data via a simple Windows drive letter (that would probably be too easy).
OK, second try: connect the camera via USB (luckily it has a standard micro USB socket). I remembered that Canon sticks to the compact flash format for some reason, for which no laptop know to man has a built-in reader.
My instinctive action (remove the memory card and insert it into the laptop’s card reader) did not work. After neglecting my good old Canon EOS 350D for some time, I took some pictures with it yesterday, which I wanted to transfer to my laptop, of course.
