Images cannot be downloaded to the computer [There are no images in the camera or memory card that match download conditions]

Content Id: 8202588800


Refer to the following explanation if images cannot be successfully downloaded to the computer using EOS Utility.

The Cause and Meaning of the Error Message

The following problem is a possible cause of the [There are no images in the camera or memory card that match download conditions] message being displayed after [Download images to computer] -⋗ [Start automatic download] is clicked in EOS Utility.

All of the images in the camera have previously been downloaded and there are no new images, or the [Settings for downloaded images] in the [Settings] of EOS Utility are set to [Images not yet downloaded].

Clicking [Select and download] in EOS Utility will allow download of the same image.

Caution

When the same image is downloaded more than once, "_xxx" (underscore and 3 numbers) will be appended to the end of the file name.
The procedure is shown in Windows 7 for the purposes of explanation.

Caution

If the [Settings for downloaded images] in the [Settings] of EOS Utility are set to [All images], clicking [Start automatic download] after reconnecting the camera will download all images. However, if images are not erased from the camera, the same images will be downloaded every time images are downloaded using EOS utility.
If the [Settings for downloaded images] in the [Settings] of EOS Utility are set to [Images not yet downloaded], previously downloaded images will not be downloaded again.
