Canon Rebel XT

Canon does not seem to provide a driver for the Canon Rebel XT camera that is compatible with Windows Vista 64 bit.   This leaves you with the option if purchasing a compact flash reader to transfer you photos – but, not anymore.

All you need to do to get Windows Vista 64 to recognize your camera is to change one setting in your camera’s setup screen.  Turn on your Canon Rebel XT, Press the ‘Menu’ button and go to the 2nd menu.  Then, under ‘Communication’ change it from ‘PC Connection’ to ‘Print/PTP’.  Yes, it seems counter intuitive but it works!
That’s it.  Told you it was easy.
