DSUSB Question

Post by rich.shippee » Fri Mar 05, 2010 11:57 am

I just go my DSUSB box and camera cable and they look great. Im having problems connection to the camera. I was planning on using Nebulosity 2 for capture but I can't find the right camera in there. The canon that is listed is the newer ones. I have a canon 10D.

The camera is in manual mode. When I plug in the box to the computer it finds it and installs it as a human interface device which one would expect but when I plug the camera in it makes no noise at all.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Rich

For Nebulosity, you'll need to connect both the camera's USB cable and the DSUSB cable to the computer. Then, in Nebulosity select Canon DIGIC II / III DSLR under the camera menu. I'm not much of a Nebulosity expert, but this should be the way to hook it up. You might also try getting Nebulosity-specific support from http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/star ... -software/
