t2i tethering situation

[kanuski]

I had the T2i tethered to my laptop using Lightroom. Everything worked great until I turned off the camera to change the battery and replace the SD card. Now Lightroom recognizes that a T2i is connected but does not tether. The camera screen goes black and I cannot take a picture. I have to disconnect the cord, take the picture, then reconnect the cord and import the image. Arrgh! Any ideas about this?

I've always found that tethering was a bit finicky. It always seems like I had to turn the camera on and off, un-plug and re-plug the USB etc.

Maybe it's because I don't do it often enough to figure out and remember the proper sequence.

So I guess, all I can suggest is that you reset everything. Close and restart LR, maybe restart the computer. Turn off the camera, unplug and replug the USB etc.

Thanks, I am sure my problem resulted from allowing the memory card to become full. I restarted everything and it still wouldn't work. The next morning it was fine.
