Recently bought a classic 1Ds, and want to change the owner information.. I have DPP installed (from my 50d) but need some guidance on what sort of firewire cable I need to get the 1Ds hooked up to my pc... For some reason when I bought it I thought it used USB!

So, can anyone point me in the right direction please.

Thanks,
Sam
 
Hello Sam,

i have a 1D mark 2, and i did this about six months ago, you need the following firewire cable,

the firewire is for not only setting up personal info , it is also for setting up the settings on the camera that cant be accessed on the camera itself, (AEB on mine was set to 3, but with software can be set to 7)

hope this helps, the picture is off wiki, and it will have all the details you need for that type off cable, i bought a couple off 1.5 m from Amazon, cheap as chips

Thanks, have got a 6pin - 6pin cable on order (as my PC has a 6 pin connection).. £1.89 from amazon :D
 
Luck guys, my laptop does not support firewire, any ideas how to do this otherwise(1Dmk1), I had considered asking someone in my local computer shop if they could do this on a demo model, but, since I don't spend much there thought it might be a bit cheeky.?
