Ok so it is true confessions time. I'm totally flummoxed by something
I though I should be able to figure out.
First of all I want to let you guys know that one of you, Steve
Desjardins to be precise, loaned me an elderly DSL - indefinitely _
a PENTAX - so I can honestly take photos for PUG now instead of diggin
gup stuff my my archives all the time and
can use full Pentax for the next PDML book. and even maybe get onto the
Pentax online gallery, if I have the patience.
While I'm eternally grateful to my friend, I'm hitting some snags using
the equipment.
So here is my problem... the loaner is an ist d - and I have the
software loaded for PEntax Browser and Pentax Lab...
but I don't have the cord that goes from the camera into the USB2
port... couldn't find one anywhere. However, I
do ahve a little card reader - a Targus that takes the cf cards the ist
d uses.
I couldnt make things go with the card reader. the computer recognized
the hardware it said.
So I took the card out of the D and put it in my canon rebel and voila!
I was able to read and download all the jpg files
I had shot with the D. But then I set the camera to do RAW and
couldn't download that way.
When I attach the card reader I hear the bell that tells me the
computer knows somethign is there but I don't know which pentax stuff to
open to connect with it...
I've been using the Canon zoom Browser for everything .. and I'm used to
just doing it directly from the camera.
Can someone plese talk to me like I was a totaly neophite and tell me
step by step what to do to get the images from
the card reader? I don't know what the computer calls the card reader..
I need to get the PEF files on and then I imagine I can open them with
Adobe Elements... I"d like to be able to extract the jpgs too.
Ive got Windoze XP, Elements 5.0 .
Oddly, I got the card reader to respond at one point but using the Canon
software and I ahve NO idea how it happened... I
really can't remember what ive done from one minute to the next unless
ive done it at least twenty times.
T I A
now I'm going out to shoot for a bit
