  Anyone use istopmotion? We have a problem…….

  Posted by Patrick on June 7, 2005 at 7:03 pm

  Hi,

  We’re using istopmotion to do some stop motion capture (obviously), and we’re having major capture issues between the camera and the laptop – G4 latop (Tiger OS). The problem lies in the device recognition of the Canon G6 camera. The process will start off okay (some of the time), but inevitably, istopmotion says that it cannot recognize the device.

  Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks,

  Patrick

  Is this recent?
  Did it work a few days ago?
  Canons are notorious around here for Firewire issues so are you certain it’s on the mfr’s list of approved input sources?
  Is there an auto-power saving protocol running on the camera that might be causing it to drop the connection?

  This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

  Thanks for responding! Per your questions…….

  It was working fine recently (the last week has been fine), but then suddenly developed these problems.
  Also, the connection is a USB. I’m not sure if that would cause any problems.
  As for a powerdown, protocol. The on-camera LCD does shut off after a time. But that function wasn’t causing any problems before.

  Any additional thoughts? Thanks,

  Patrick
