Can't connect with Canon T6s


tlveik

Question

I can't seem to get BYEOS to work with my Canon T6s.  The camera works fine with EOS utility.  I stopped EOS utility before running BYEOS.

When I click connect I get this:

09:55:32  Licensed to tlveik
09:55:51  Attempting to connect camera...
09:55:51  Canon drivers 'Canon210\' initialized.
09:55:51  DEVICEINFO DESCRIPTION IS Canon EOS Rebel T6s
09:55:51  DEVICEINFO NUMBER IS 3470492101.
09:55:51  YOUR *REAL* MODEL NUMBER IS 4294967294(FFFFFFFE)
09:55:51  Generic model 153 assumed!

But I can't do anything after this.

Windows 10, 64 bit.

BYEOS version is 3.1.11

How do I get this going?  Thanks.

Tom

The Canon210 driver/SDK that you were using in your post above is for the very old (DIGIC II) cameras that Canon has dropped from the latest version of the SDK. You need to use the driver/SDK labeled "Canon" to connect with the T6s.

If you still get the same error then it is likely that you are the first BYE user to try to connect the T6s. Guylain needs to incorporate the device and model info that you provided into BYE in order for you to connect. He is currently in Europe growing his business, but he typically is able to quickly provide a beta release for you to test with.

Please be patient, I am sure that he will respond.

That was it!  The tricky part was that the program wasn't asking me to select a driver.  I needed to go into advanced settings and check the box so it would ask me which driver I wanted to use.  It working now.  Thanks!
