Image Capture runs fine for me. Try having image capture running when you plug in the camera and turn it on.</P> Tue, 28 Feb 2023 02:23:46 GMT kvbarkley 2023-02-28T02:23:46Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/I-cannot-figure-out-how-to-connect-my-new-Canon-Rebel-T8i-to-my/m-p/407910#M97104 <P>Hi friends,&nbsp;</P><P>I've just upped my game getting a DSLR to do stop motion with. I just bought the Canon Rebel T8i and cannot figure out how to get the camera to connect to my computer (so I can run it through the software, DragonFrame).&nbsp;</P><P>From what I read, once you plug your camera into the computer via USB it should pop up with Canon Utility, but it's not.&nbsp;</P><P>Any suggestions?&nbsp;</P><P>Thank you,&nbsp;</P> Tue, 28 Feb 2023 02:09:07 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/I-cannot-figure-out-how-to-connect-my-new-Canon-Rebel-T8i-to-my/m-p/407910#M97104 Thechrisreid 2023-02-28T02:09:07Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/I-cannot-figure-out-how-to-connect-my-new-Canon-Rebel-T8i-to-my/m-p/407911#M97105 <P>I don't usually use the Canon software.

I realized I was using the HDMI connection from camera to computer. I don’t know if the camera can only work with a USB connection? &nbsp;</P> Tue, 28 Feb 2023 02:49:38 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/I-cannot-figure-out-how-to-connect-my-new-Canon-Rebel-T8i-to-my/m-p/407914#M97107 Thechrisreid 2023-02-28T02:49:38Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/I-cannot-figure-out-how-to-connect-my-new-Canon-Rebel-T8i-to-my/m-p/407917#M97108 <P>Yes, it has to be USB. HDMI is pretty much only video output.</P> Tue, 28 Feb 2023 03:06:15 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/I-cannot-figure-out-how-to-connect-my-new-Canon-Rebel-T8i-to-my/m-p/407917#M97108 kvbarkley 2023-02-28T03:06:15Z
