EOS Utility for Leopard & 5D?

[dmward]

I have updated to 2.2.0 but still no joy.
I get a camera busy message comm error message.
Also, when half depressing the shutter button, get a busy message on camera as well.

I am trying to setup the 5D for remote capture and this is frustrating.

Worked great using V1 and 10.4  would hate to go through the pain of downgrading.

I think the workaround was to have an image on the LCD when you tether the camera, then when the error message say camera busy, you delete the image and will be able to work from there.  I had the exact same problem last week, but I borrowed a laptop for the shoot.

I'll try the workaround in a few minutes...

I tried the workaround with success.  When you tether the camera and open the Canon utility have an image on your LCD screen on the camera, you will get the camera busy/please clear lcd warning, just clear the image from the lcd and you will be able to proceed normally.

Hopefully Canon will have a software update soon.

Exactly. You need to shoot an image and review it from the card. You then launch EOS utility and when the warning that camera LCD is busy you press the camera button to engage AF etc. The message then will clear, and EOS capture can launch.
DPP is updated to v3.2 BTW, and some other updates too. I had to have the original CD in the drive bay to be able to update the software. All that just to allow LightRoom to auto import.

The better and more permanent work around is to switch to Adobe Lightroom. It's awesome on my Mac Pro 8-core running Leopard 10.5.1.
