I've run into a problem and can't for the life of me understand it.
When I attach the camera to the computer it gets recognized nearly instantly. I need a little more distance from the computer. I tried attaching an extension Firewire cable but the computer does not recognize the camera. I tried using a simple 3 foot cable but no dice.
Seems like the computer and camera wont communicate with anything but the single cable that came with the camera.
Tried talking to CPS but the only answer they had was that Canon doesnt recommend cabling longer than 5 meters. I can't get it to work with a 1 meter cable.
Anyone had success connecting the 1 series bodies to a longer cable?
