USB unload issue on 20D

Sweeper · March 17, 2008

Has anyone else seen this? When I unload my 20D to my new computer, several of the photos will show up half baked. In other words, on several of the files it looks like part of the frame was taken in sepia mode. To make sure I get all the pics as they should be, I offload them into my laptop first (where I never have a problem) and then transfer them via mem stick to my PC. But, straight from the camera... can't trust it for a 100% clean download. Any thoughts?

My first thought is that you would be better served by using a card reader. Remove your memory card from your camera, insert into the card reader, and as far as the computer is concerned the memory card looks just like a disk. Downloads are faster and more sure this way.

After that, you might want to look at downloading some upgraded software from the Canon sight. I think the 20D has drivers that are unique to it and that these software items have been upgraded since the disk that comes with the 20D was burned.

Just a couple of ideas.
