Thumbnail View with ES-E1 software

[bill_goldman]

I have just purchased the ES-E1 Link Software for my EOS-1V and

everything seems to work ok except I cannot display thumbnail views

for downloaded data from camera.

 

The version of the software I purchased is Version 1.20 and I have

updated to 1.30 from Canon's website. I am running Windows XP home

version.

 

The data I downloaded for previously shot rolls displays fine but in

the thumbnail view I see only blank boxes.

 

I updated the camera's date/time to the current date/time.

Previously data shows default date/times.

 

Any help will be appreciated.

I am sure you realise that the EOS-1v is a film camera and therefore cannot produce digital thumbnails of the pictures taken directly. The thumbnail feature is so you can associate a scanned image (i.e. from film) with the data stored by the camera for a given shot e.g. aperture, shutter speed etc. Therfore, until you associate an image with the "thunbnail" it will appear blank.

Thanx, Colin. The instruction manual was not very clear on that point.

Bill,

 

Agreed. In fact the whole package is somewhat over-priced and under-featured. I bought it half-price, but still feel it's not a bargain.
