Importing via a Wired Connection (USB Terminal)
Import images by connecting Connect Station to a camera/camcorder with an
interface cable (USB cable). For information on the interface cable, refer to the
Camera/Camcorder Instruction Manual.
Compatible cameras/camcorders
Cameras/camcorders from which images can be imported via a wired connection are
Canon compact digital cameras, digital single-lens reflex cameras, compact system
(mirrorless) cameras, and digital camcorders released in 2010 or later. Although
cameras/camcorders other than these may be connected via a wired connection,
there is no guarantee for the import of images to Connect Station.
When connecting or disconnecting the cable, hold Connect Station in place. When
disconnecting the cable, be sure to hold the plug; do not pull the cable.
When connecting the cable to Connect Station, do not lift or move Connect Station with
its power on. Dropping Connect Station or hitting it against an object may damage its
hard disk.
If you connect a camera/camcorder or insert a card and the import of images does not
start even when there are images that have not been imported yet, disconnect the
camera/camcorder, remove the card, restart Connect Station, then try again.
When connecting to a camera/camcorder, use fully-charged batteries.
Images cannot be imported to Connect Station from a USB charging-compatible
camera/camcorder by connecting them with an interface cable.
Do not connect a USB cable or insert a card while the Connect Station's hard disk is
being formatted or its firmware is being updated.
Movie files exceeding 4 GB in file size shot with the EOS-1D X Mark II cannot be
imported via a wired connection. Import them from the card (p.23).
Images can be imported even when Connect Station is standing by (p.16).
When all images are already imported, import does not start.
Importing images
Use the interface cable that you
use to connect a camera/
camcorder to a computer.
Connect the USB terminal on
Connect Station to a camera/
camcorder, then turn on the
camera's/camcorder's power.
The access lamp will blink, and
the import of images will start.
The import is complete when the
access lamp stops blinking and
stays lit. Turn off the camera's/
camcorder's power, then
disconnect the cable.
