<p>Hi Jonathan,<br>

welcome. great to see another aussie here.</p>

<p>Hi Duncan,<br>

Hope you enjoy your trip round Oz. It's a great place for photography, sometime you might have to dig a little deeper though.</p>

<p>I've just bought a used EOS 1Ds and already I've had a lot of help from others on this site in trying to get a little technical issue sorted.<br>

I'm an enthusiast so I'm shooting mainly for fun and for myself. But I love getting inspiration from the work of others here.<br>

Thanks again for the help I've already received.</p>

<p>So a change of the cable was all it took to get things working. Almost embrassing (almost).<br>

Thanks for everyone's help. Now I can get to finding the tone curve to give me something closer to Fuji Superia Reala film out of the camera.</p>

<p>Thanks for your suggestion Simon. I tired it, but no luck. I'll look for another computer to try it on and I'll try to get in touch with Canon in the meantime.<br>

If it turns out to be a simple solution, I'll post it up.</p>

<p>Mike, thanks for your response. As puppyface said, the only connection port is a firewire port. I've been surfing the net looking for updated drivers and have tried a few things, but it's always the same result. I don't want to try and return the camera unless I'm 100% sure that's where the fault lies. Also, it wouldn't stop me from taking pictures and using a card reader to transfer the images to the laptop. but I'd like to get to the PFs and other personalisation functions.<br>

Thx.</p>

<p>Hi all,<br>

I've just bought a 2nd hand EOS 1Ds (Mk I) and started playing around with it. I've tried searching, but I couldn't find any answers to my problem.<br>

Basically, I'd like to know if anyone has experienced the same problem as I and has found a solution. I'm trying to connect my 1Ds to my laptop via a IEEE 1394 cable. I've loaded all the software and I've connected the camera.<br>

The instruction manual says that the act of physically connecting the camer completes the process by installing some drivers (?). When I connect the camera, Windows XP gives me a CODE 10 error. All the other software says it can't find the camera.<br>

Is this a known issue with the 1Ds? There's so many variables, the camera, cable, computer, s/w. I've already resisntalled the software and drivers twice.<br>

Thanks for any help.<br>
