Comments on: Aperture Tethered Shooting Tutorial http://digitalopia.com/aperture-tethered-shooting-tutorial/ Innovation, insights and comments in the digital world Sat, 05 Jul 2008 15:37:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Ian http://digitalopia.com/aperture-tethered-shooting-tutorial/#comment-19 Ian Tue, 13 May 2008 12:50:41 +0000 http://digitalopia.com/?p=73#comment-19 Thats quite strange, as the Digital Rebel is definitely supported. After reading up and seeing that you met all of the requirements, I tried it out with a friends Digital Rebel (hence the late reply). They have an iMac (new model) with OS X 10.5.2 and Aperture 2.1. Setting the camera to PTP, we connected the USB cable and opened the tether hud in Aperture. It recognised the camera model and allowed us to take shots from either the camera shutter or from the hud itself. I have done some more digging and there were a couple of references to problems with the rebel on the Apple Support Aperture forums (http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=184). It may be worth checking the forums, but I could not find any responses to the issue. If you are still experiencing the same problems, I recommend posting on the Apple support site. They are pretty active forums, and tethering (or the lack of !!) is discussed a lot. Would love to know how things progress.

Thank you for taking the time to publish it. I am having a problem with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel (which is on Apples list of approved devices). First I should mention that I am running Aperture 2 on a MacBook Pro and Leopard 10.5.2. My problem is this. When I set the camera communication to PTP and start a tethered session the HUD does not show my camera, it just says Canon Digital Camera. Furthermore, my camera says busy while Aperture is looking for files on my CF and it stays like this. However when I set my camera communication to "normal" the HUD shows that it is an EOS Digital Rebel and allows me to operate the shutter, but no picture is displayed and no file transfered.
