Nov 27, 2004Is there a "Preference" or option I can check for this body only?
To my knowledge you can't set this behavior per camera only global yes or no. When you click on file/ get photo's or use the camera icon in Bridge Window top left you get a menu asking what to do if you did not
chose this already or have chosen to 'not show again' this warning message.
In Bridge prefs general tab under 'behavior' is also the option to set it on or off.
Assuming you already have updated to the latest ACR (6.7) to support your brand new dSLR, or do you only shoot jpeg?
When you are on a Mac you could also try to delete the Photodownloader plist file from user library preferences to refresh the prefs for Downloader.
Don't know the Windows equivalent of this file.
However I'm with Yammer P about not favoring connecting the camera directly to your computer. Instead I would use a card reader.
Personally I have put the Downloader icon in my dock and start it manually when having put a CF card in the card reader.
Other advantage of this manual method is that Photodownloader does also not start when syncing my phone or iPad because APDL also wants to read this devices

Nov 27, 2004I have a card reader but pulling cf card out and reinserting time and agin is tantamount to pin problems in camera and card.
To add my experience about that:
I started using a card reader 11 years ago with 2 (very costly) 128 MB CF cards. Don't know the number of shots and certainly not the times I've pulled them out and in since then but it is a lot, a very lot...
Next was 256 MB, 512 Mb 1 Gb etc etc and now I have 16 GB CF cards ( at not even one third of the original price for 128 MB...). I lost the functionality of some card readers that failed due to hard ware malfunctioning (not pins!) over the time but never a CF card.
I since have used 6 or 7 dSLR that also never failed on CF slots.
Besides that, it is very hard to destroy a CF card at all, I even had one in the washing machine and yet it refused to die...
The reasons to not use download from camera may not be that value at all anymore with newest versions (the EOS 1Dx seems able to ethernet connection) but they where;
Speed, a quality CF card reader was faster then in camera reading.
Power save (not that valuable with todays lithium ion battery)
Possible problems when camera did an auto shut down while still transporting files.
And the main, It is a very bad idea to use your computer to delete files from a CF card at all but especially when in camera. The risk of overwriting in camera soft or firmware was always mentioned as a main reason not do so.
And yes, there will be people stating the opposite, but the bottom line is that this workflow never did cost me a camera, CF card nor an image that was on those cards

That's very surprising to know the truth about those two young hearted men in de midst of the digital era...
I feel a lot younger now but not that young because I'm only 16 years behind
This should be enough Off Topic, back to the serious work!
