Cannot ingest using usb cable

[Stephen]

Hi I cannot ingest using usb cable. OK using card reader. Using usb cable worked in the past, Canon firmware update installed on my camera. Could this have anything to do with this issue? If so how do I resolve it. Thanks in anticipation Stephen

Unless your camera's card mounts as an actual drive, PM won't ingest from it.  You'll either need to figure out how to get your camera to mount its card as a drive, or better yet, use a dedicated card reader and free your camera up from that task.

Please post a screen shot of of your Ingest dialog.  Use the 'Attachments and other options' link when you're composing your reply to this message and there you'll be able to upload your JPEG format screenshot.

Thanks,

Stephen,

Thanks for the screenshots.  Your camera cards are not mounted as a disk.  They have no associated drive letter.  You'll either need to figure out what settings in your camera or drivers on your computer makes the cards mount as a real disk (are assigned a drive letter) or use a dedicated card reader.

Thanks for your help Kirk, I will try to figure out how to name the drives.

I know this isn't the answer you are looking for, but a good CF card reader will be much faster for downloading. It might be less hassle in the long run.
