Updated to Eos Utility 3 on a Mac 10.9.4 using either a 5d or 6d with a USB cord. I can' find where in EOS Utility I can set it to record the file both to the laptop as well as in camera cards(CF or SD)? There is not the normal check box under Remote Shooting in the preferences .
Second question, I've been using EOS Utility linked with DPP for tethered shooting for many years but really seem lost with these new versions are there any updated online video tutorials that someone can point me towards?
thanks, jeff

Hello Archfotos,
Of the many options available when shooting tethered with (compatible) cameras, the save to card option is not present. Images are saved to your computer's memory.

I'm looking at a Windows 8 computer as I write this, but I think it would be the same for Windows 7.
If the EU Launcher sees that you're using a FF camera, I think it will call Version 3 by default. So you just don't go there.
In the folder where the installer puts the EOS Utility, there are two subfolders, EU2 and EU3. In EU2, open "EOS Utility 2.exe". Once you're sure it does what you want, you can make a separate shortcut for it.

Hi Bob, thank you so very much! I truly appreciate all your help. Yes I found the folder version 2 and it looks like that will work. Still not sure why Canon would even consider removing this feature as I can't imagine shooting tethered without creating the backup - but this works and that's what I needed to figure out.
Thanks again,
jeff

thank you thank you! I just switched to Capture One from LR, and got totally freaked out on-set when I saw that nothing was saved to the CF card while shooting tethered. This seems to solve it!
