Hello Norbert,
I have some questions for you:
1. Which CANON EOS camera do you use?
2. Support National Instruments this camera?

3. Do you use a National Instruments Vision Software?

4. How do you connect your CANON EOS camera to you PC?

Hi Norbert,
http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-4155
Do you use the "Picture Control"?

You can also use the canvas control.

If you just want to display the image, look into a library on the NI Device Driver Reference CD called NI-IMAQ.
There is a very fast image write routine for a canvas control called imgPlot.

Hi,
found this thread as I'm also going through this in these very days. This is rather a Canon EDSDK question. Anyway, if still relevant, the answer, which is undocumented by Canon, but apparently known to developers, is that the evf buffer gest filled with a jpeg stream, which you have to decode. There is no VI in labview doing this in memory (I don't know about labwindows), the detour would be either save the stream to a file and reload it (I hate), using some contributed ad hoc function (e.g. http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-13513). But the real answer is that the function EdsGetImage can transform jpeg data into an RGB stream, which with further gymnastics can be casted into an IMAQ image.
For a labview implementation: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CanonSDK/attachments/folder/446301336/item/1078603953/view?picmode=ori...
In general, www.canonsdk.com and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CanonSDK/ are valuable resources here.

Hello,
I'm thinking about trying this with a Canon EOS. Did anybody get this to work?

Of course (in Labview, not Labwindows). http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/CanonSDK/conversations/topics/1626 , http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/CanonSDK/conversations/messages/1716 . LV2010, SDK 2.9, certainly not 2.10 and no intention to check any other version.

Hi Jeff,
yes i got it to work. Actually we use different models of Canon EOS and the Canon EOS SDK 2.130.
Greetings Norbert
