gl2 not detected
i've attempted to import images/video from my gl2 with both usb and firewire on two different computers. both computers say they can't detect the camera. is there some setting that i changed by switching back and forth between usb and firewire? or is there another problem w/in the camera that could cause it to be undetectable?

What platform? (Mac / Windows)
What O/S? What capture software? Has it ever worked in the past? If so, what changed since then?

When capturing video, make sure the TAPE/CARD switch is set to TAPE. When copying images (from your memory card), set it to CARD. The switch is located directly above the Start/Stop button.
Also, depending on the OS your running (on the computer), you may also need to install a "driver" to recognize your GL2. Windows XP does not need a driver. |

<<<-- Originally posted by Ken Tanaka : What platform? (Mac / Windows)

well, now that i've got some time, i've decided to try and remedy this problem.
i was concerned that there was a blown port on my camera or something, but my desktop now recognizes the gl2 through usb. however, my laptop still does not seem to recognize it through firewire...there is no 'canon dv' listed anywhere on the device manager ('canon dv' is listed on the device manager for my desktop). and i still get the 'dv device is unavailable for device control' message when i try and to capture w/ the laptop. i know this much... -the 'dv in' light on the gl2 is consistently blinking when it's plugged into the laptop. -when i plug/unplug the firewire notebook adapter the computer makes the 'da dun' noise, so it apparently knows the adapter is there. -i have tried two different cables and there has been no difference. -the laptop used to be able to recognize the camera...don't know what i could have done to change things. any ideas? |

one more thing...
the laptop does NOT recognize the camera through the usb either. so... my laptop does NOT recognize the camera through usb OR firewire my desktop DOES recognize the camera through usb (no firewire port on the desktop) there HAS to be some kind of explanation for this! |

Oh!
My experience is that I plugged my f/w into a PCMCIA card. I could "eject" this card and then "re-seat" it - this assured me that it was seated correctly. But I'm thinking now that you don't use a PCMCIA card for f/w capture - yes? You use a small f/w female plug somewhere on the body of the laptop? - Grazie |
