ipod - Canon G9

Antonio Correia

Hello everybody ! :thumb

I need a little help, please.

I have a 20D, a 5D and a G9. Also an ipod.

I want to connect the cameras to the ipod (one at a time obviously) to backup the photos.
Everything goes fine in both 20 and 5 Ds :barb, but on the G9...:cry

Any tips please ?

:bow

This is no solution at all. Don't you ever think so.

The ipod works with the RAW files and eats them from both 20D and 5D. So far so good. But we can't see them.
We can only see jpgs.

But where is the problem ?
The problem lies on the energy capacity of the ipod.
The transfer eats all the power, drains the batteries in a few minutes/files.

I had some 160 images in the 5D and the ipod had been charged one minute ago.
I connected the camera to the ipod and the transfer began until... until ... the ipod run out of power.

And not all the photos were transferred. I don't know how many were in fact transferred because when I wanted to see that information, there was no power.

You probably know that the ipod can't be connect to the energy at the same time as it transfers because there is only one port/connection, so power and connection at the same time is not possible.

Unthinkable to work with a ipod as back up.

Good device but not for this.
