Support for the latest Canon EOS SDK

[kshirg]

I’m currently using a newer Canon RF body (EOS R100), and I understand that recent Canon cameras rely on updates to Canon’s EDSDK for full third-party compatibility. I wanted to ask, if there is an update planned (or under consideration) for BackyardEOS to support the newer Canon EOS SDK versions?

I completely understand the challenges involved in tracking Canon’s SDK changes and appreciate the work that goes into maintaining compatibility across so many camera models. Just wanted to get a sense of what might be possible going forward.

had you tried connecting your camera to the latest pre-release?

 

It will not connect, but you should be getting something like this displayed in the message center, send me those numbers; they will tell me your model is supported by the current SDK, and we'll take from there.

14:26:58  YOUR *REAL* MODEL NUMBER IS 2147484722(80000432)

Heere is the log:

20:49:00  BackyardEOS 3.5.0 RC9
20:49:07  Attempting to connect camera...
20:49:08  Canon drivers 'CanonX64\' initialized.
20:49:08  DEVICEINFO DESCRIPTION IS Canon EOS R100
20:49:08  DEVICEINFO NUMBER IS (let me know if this is needed)
20:49:08  YOUR *REAL* MODEL NUMBER IS 4294967294(FFFFFFFE)
20:49:08  YOUR camera is not currently supported by the Canon SDK available at the time of this software release.
20:49:08  Camera Not Found!  Make sure it's connected to the PC and turned ON

This confirms the Canon SDK compiled with 3.5.0-RC9 does not support the R100.

20:49:08  YOUR *REAL* MODEL NUMBER IS 4294967294(FFFFFFFE)

Give me a few days, I'll see if Canon has released a new SDK supporting this model.
