I use 400D & need to submit the file for validation. Somehow copying the file from CF card direct from camera in windows explorer is not working. I normally transfer my files by using Lightroom. The file is shoot in RAW. Should I send the file copying from camera software. Any clues?

| You can use the EOS utility to transfer the files from the camera instead of going through the windows explorer route or maybe you can use a card reader for transferring the same. Personally i find the EOS utility very convenient |

| Thank you manish. But my doubt is weather file copied though EOS utility will create problem for validation or not? Does this software changes files EXIF information? |

If you still have the original file in the camera card, you may be able to use a card reader, and upload the file directly from the card using the "choose file" " upload" route.
I think that there are a couple of threads dealing with "uploading files for validation" if you do a search for that in the Community/ Forums/ Announcements section.
Maybe this will help;

Bottom line is, you have a 400D. If you connect the camera to the computer, you must use the file transfer software. Use a card reader and cut/paste the file that way. That is the only way unless your computer has a CF slot. If it does, plug the card in there and use cut/paste.
The camera/software will not allow you to do it any other way. |

With RAW you're OK, with JPEG it depends whether the EOS utility modifies the JPEG file. If it auto-rotates, it may tag the file and the file would then not be a valid original.

So this means he CAN use the EOS software to transfer his originals with NO problem :)
Nice find :) |

Well, if there's any problem, he can blame Kirbic!
I'd suggest maybe he read the rest of the thread, though... someone may have contradicted Kirbic later on.... I just thought of that.
I'll grab the link.
eta; here :)
EUREKA!
From the OP;
If you shoot in RAW:
Transfer software does not affect the original image data of a RAW file. Therefore, RAW files moved by transfer software are valid originals. Note that you must submit a RAW proof file when requested. A JPEG saved from the original RAW is not sufficient.
(missed that the first time because I searched keywords and only looked for the highlights)

Actually he probably just needs the proper Codec... All Canon (digital) cameras become a drive (no need for the xfer software) when the right driver is installed (Windows).
ED: Actually I think the WIA drivers are provided with Windoze... He is using RAW so he probably only needs the RAW Codec for which ever flavor (Vista/XP) he is using so Windows (File System) recognizes the file...(assuming he is on Windows)... It is availalbe on the Canon site under downloads for the 400D.

| Thanks to all for the replies & helping me out. Anyway I have formated my drive & reinstalled my OS & other softwares since I was facing some other problems with some other softwares. Now I can directly copy from CF card in windows explorer.Well it's nice to read that copying RAW file through EOS is also having no problems. |
