Solution

    If CameraWindow does not run when a camera is connected, uninstalling (deleting) and reinstalling the software is recommended.
    (Uninstalling is the process of deleting unnecessary drivers or software in the event that a problem has occurred.)
    IMPORTANT
    • Administrator rights are required in order to install or uninstall software.
    • Before beginning the procedure, be sure to back-up/move any image files that you have saved to the [CameraWindow] folder.
    • The screens displayed may differ depending on the model you use.

    1. Click the icon of the hard disk to which the image folder was installed, and then select [Applications] > [Canon Utilities] > [CameraWindow].
