Which software should I use for Powershot A4000 on a MacOS Ventura 13

rlew49ers — Wed, 13 Sep 2023 23:23:01 GMT

Just switched from a Windows Platform to Mac (1st time ever). Want to use my Powershot A4000 IS on the Mac to download pictures. Can't find the appropriate software; not sure if it exist! My specific OS is Ventura 13.5.2; listed are Monterey, Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra and many more but not Venture!

Use a card reader and download using the Apple provided software Image Capture. You don’t need any Canon software to download images.

Or, don't bother with the card reader: plug in the camera and Image Capture should open automagically, if it doesn't , run it so it knows what to do when you plug in the camera.

Fantastic! I was thinking about alternatives and your recommendation did crossed my mind. I'm an old school Windows user since Windows 3.1. Very new to apple. Greatly appreciate your response.

Ventura has an issue of inconsistent behavior sometimes with USB connections.
