O Use only the dedicated cable.
O With EOS-1D series cameras, if you connect the plug of the dedicated cable into the
computer’s IEEE1394 port in the reverse direction, the camera or the computer may
break down. Confirm that the shape of the plug and the shape of the IEEE1394 port
match before connecting.
O With EOS-1D series cameras, you cannot communicate with EOS Utility even if you
connect the USB interface cable supplied with the camera.
O Push the plug firmly all the way into the socket. Loose connections can cause faults
or malfunctions.
O Do not connect the camera to your computer via a hub. If you do so, the camera may
not operate correctly.
O If you connect multiple USB or IEEE1394 devices (excluding mouse and keyboard) to
your computer, the camera may not operate correctly. Disconnect from your
computer any USB devices and IEEE1394 connection devices other than the
camera.
O Operation of the Auto power off function will automatically switch the camera off,
disabling to communicate with your computer. Set the Auto power off function to
[OFF] in advance. For more details, refer to the camera’s Instruction Manual supplied
with the camera.
