Connecting an EOS-1D Series Camera to Your Computer
Connection procedure for the EOS-1D Mark II N, EOS-1Ds Mark II, EOS-1D Mark II, EOS-
1Ds and EOS-1D
Before downloading images to your computer or specifying the camera settings, you must
connect the camera to your computer with the dedicated IEEE1394 interface cable supplied
with the camera. You can connect the camera while your computer is running.
For instructions on connecting cameras other than the EOS-1D series cameras and your
computer, refer to the
previous
page.
Plug the dedicated cable into the computer.

Plug the cable into the IEEE1394 port.
Refer to the computer User's Manual for
information on the terminal areas.
Plug the dedicated cable into your camera.

For cameras supplied with the cable
protector, attach the cable protector to the
camera, and then follow the procedure
below to connect the dedicated cable.
Make sure the <
> mark on the plug is
facing the top of the camera and then
connect the plug to the camera's
<
> terminal.
Set the camera's power switch to <ON>.

Communication between the camera and
your computer starts. The dialog box in
step 4 is displayed.
For Windows 2000, a dialog box such as

EOS Utility starts up and the camera is
ready to communicate with your computer.
Proceed to "Downloading Images from
Your Camera" (p.1-6).
For Windows 2000, double-click the [EOS
Utility] icon on your computer's desktop to
start up EOS Utility.
The procedure in steps 3 and 4 is only
necessary when connecting the camera
and your computer for the first time. From
the next time you connect to your
computer, EOS Utility will start up when
you set the camera's power switch to
<ON> in step 3.
The above window shows information displayable when EOS-1D Mark II N is
connected. The displayed information varies depending on the camera model
connected.
If [EOS Utility] does not start up even after performing step 4, double-click the [EOS
Utility] icon on your computer's desktop, or click the [Start] button
