- The supported software version may differ depending on the camera you use and the operating system installed on the computer. (Version 3.8 or later is supported.)
- When using a camera or computer that differs from the model used initially, install the supported version of EOS Utility. EOS Utility Updater for a variety of cameras/operating systems can be downloaded from the Canon Web site.
- For details on system requirements that are compatible with the application, refer to the Related information at the bottom of this page.
- EOS Utility and the camera may not communicate normally with a cable other than the EOS DIGITAL camera-dedicated Canon interface cable. Connect your camera and computer directly with the interface cable. Do not connect the camera via a hub; doing so may prevent EOS Utility and your camera from communicating normally.

Your camera does not support CameraWindow. If you are using CameraWindow, install and use the EOS Utility application.
