Canon 77D support?

[Guest Pat Hanrahan]

When will the new Canon 77d model be supported?  The T7i is essentially the same camera and both were recently released.

Ah, now I get it.  I had to go into Advanced Settings and tell BYEOS to ask for the drivers and then restart it.  After that I saw the selections and chose the right one.  Everything seems to be working fine now.

I must have told BYEOS not to ask for it again after selecting drivers for my older camera.

 

thanks,

Al

Any update on this?  I have the latest version and still can't connect.  Connects fine to the EOS Utility.  (Which is not running when I try to connect with BYEOS)

It would appear that the SDK is now available at https://www.developersupport.canon.com/

I read the following:

"EOS SDK v3.6 is now available.
Support added for the EOS Rebel T7i and EOS 77D."

Any idea when we might see this available within BYEOS?

thanks,

Al

BYE 3.1.16 includes the EOS SDK v3.6 version of the SDK that supports the 77D and the 77D is in BYE's supported cameras list. So it should connect.

There is something else going on. How are you trying to connect? What error do you get?

Did you try it?

This has been implemented in August 2017 with the release of 3.1.13.

Yes I have that version (3.1.16).  It connects fine to my T2i and the 77D connects to the EOS utility, which I loaded to hopefully get the correct drivers as I could not find any link to download just the drivers.  When I try to connect the log says:

Attempting to connect camera...

Canon drivers 'Canon215\' initialized.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION IS Canon EOS77D

DEVICEINFO NUMBER IS 3470492101.

YOUR *REAL* MODEL NUMBER IS 4294967294(FFFFFFFE)

Generic model 153 is assumed!

I can see the camera under Devices and Printers (Windows 10) but not in Device Manager.  I don't let the EOS Utility run on start up and it is not running.  Any help would be appreciated.

Well, you're using the older Canon215 drivers, it won't work that.

You need to select the more recent drivers in BYE, the "Canon" one, not Canon210 and not Canon215.

If Canon repeat history it can take 6 to 12 months for them to release the SDK :(.

Al,

I'm glad that you figured it out.  BTW, both your cameras ( T2i/550D and 77D) are supported by the latest version of the SDK (3.6) that is used when you select the Canon drivers during connection.
