How to download from Canon s45 with original filename without cardreader?

canon digital camera zoombrowser image

Luey

Whenever I connect my Canon s45 digital camera to either of my Windows XP computers, the scanners and cameras dialog box comes up and then asks me to give a name to the photos before downloading them. This happens for either normal or PTP mode, either with their WIA driver installed or not. How do I get the files to download with their original names. I hate pulling the CF card and using a card reader because I just know I'm going to bend one of the pins in the camera reinserting it someday. This camera is not recognized as a USB Mass Storage Device and doesn't show up as a removable drive.
There is no download for the entire ZoomBrowser or I would have tried it myself. There is only an updater download. I bought the camera used without software thinking it would be like my Olympus and Panasonic cameras that are USB MSDs. I was wrong. Canon just has to do things differently.

Answer
Use the Canon ZoomBrowser software instead of the XP camera wizard - you can download it here at the Canon Support Website:

Question about connecting digital photo camera to computer?

JamyJenny

Can you please tell the name of a software with which you can take photos on computer while the digital photo camera is connected by usb?

And is it possible to use it as a web camera?

Answer
It totally depends on the camera model.

Not all cameras can be controlled by USB, though many of the better brands can. Webcam capability is probably more common on compact cameras (non-DSLR), and maybe for those DSLRs with movie modes or "Live View".

Windows XP and above has its own camera wizard that can take stills, and usually comes as part of the OS. Nikon has their own Camera Control Pro software for still photos as a separate purchase. Canon usually includes ZoomBrowser EX with their compact cameras, and offers EOS Capture for their DSLRs.

Some other companies sell software that does remote shooting.
