I purchased a powered firewire hub, which I was told would ensure that the camera is getting enough power.-ilya
Yes, that was my recommendation from http://www.hasselbladdigitalforum.com/inde...sg2344.html#new and sometimes I had issues with FC seeing the camera a long time ago... but no problems lately. What I suggest is try connecting the camera before starting FC and then after, try restarting the PC... at some point it should be seen. Fact that a powered hub helped points to your PC. Post your config over at the link at hasselbladdigitalforum.com.Otherwise, maybe David or Nick-T could offer some other suggestion. Good luck.Kind regards,Derek
Thanks! I've restarted my computer more often today than in the last year, I think... I've also tried every possible sequence of power on, open phocus/flex color / connect imaginable... do you think i should forget phocus until i get flexcolor to work? should phocus still see the camera even with latest firmware from fc?thanks!-ilya
So I've restarted the computer again and performed some combination of camera-on / firewire-in / phocus openthat made phocus see the camera and I was able to shoot tethered.Then i disconnected the camera and was never again able to make phocus see it...This is frustrating. Is there a magic dance I need to perform each time to make this work? I've never done tethering operation before, but have heard/seen people struggle with it. -ilya
I've been hesitant to move to Macs, though I know mostly everyone in the industry uses macs... It's just that I've always had PCs with windowsand am kind of afraid of running into compatibility issues going from one to another... plus all my software is for windows...I don't hink there is a clear performance advantage one way or another, other than the fact that mac clearly has better firewire support.
