Hi,

Just bought this camera 2nd hand and don't have the software to download images from the camera, I think the guy forgot to put it in the box..

I have checked the canon site and cannot find it..

Can anyone help me find this? I think its the EOS utility software..

Thanks in advance..

Unfortunately it's not a very straight forward process.

Check out this post for more information.

You can read the rest of the thread here.

I've never had to use it myself, but a quick glance through the thread shows most people have had success...

Aye... and shoot in RAW so you don't have to worry too much about your ambient light balance (just use Auto on the camera) then use the software / lightroom / histogram to adjust it how it looked originally if you've shot in say tungsten blub light (less orange)

Plus, RAW is more flexible and easy to work with (giving more leeway to adjusting photographers/camera mistakes) JPEGS is great for shoot and ready (provided you've adjusted the saturation e.t.c to your liking)

I recommend this site:
