Taking into account the the 350D is an old model, the CD-ROM will be probably defect. Try to download it from the canon web. http://www.canon.co.uk/support/consumer_products/products/cameras/digital_slr/eos-1d_c.aspx?type=download&language=&os=Windows%207%20%2832-bit%29 The CD-ROM is the same regardless of the camera model.

Photoshop, GIMP, Rawtherapee, Darktable, Lightroom, etc... You can even do it in batch with linux. But I recomend to set the camera to jpeg+raw and let the camera do the conversion for you. Then if you need an special retouch of a photo, use any of the above applications.

Go to manual mode (very important) Go to the last tab Select "Clear all camera settings" Select "Clear all custom Functions" by the way, have you tried to upgrade your camera?

if you're using pop up flash, you'll get more shadows doing a portrait shot than a landscape shot just due to the position of the flash bulb and the angle the shadows are cast.

example?

Err 20 Malfunctions related to the mechanical mechanism have been detected. Warranty repair.

Your camera must have an exposure metter in the viewfinder that you can see or? (an arrow moving from -2 to +2 may be or somenthing like that) How do meassure the light? Matrix, center, spot? Check that you may meassure in the wrong way may be.

it only means that your camera is accessing the memory card

Hi This site helped me in the past about the drivers: Driver Update Software enjoy

Those quick fast flashes usually mean the camera is trying to find contrast to take the photo but it can't. The scene might be to dark and the camera can not set it's focus and there for cannot take a picture. Move the camera slightly from left to right on the subject and see if it can manage to set focus. It's normal for the camera to give out these quick flashes as it is trying to find some sort of contrast in the subject, turning on a room light might help this? Now when you manually focus, then the camera does not have to use it's built in auto focus sensor and will let you take a photo when you manually focus on the subject.

it will work with your rebel t3 just set the flash on manual mode and adjust the desired flash power needed .

It depends on what setting your main top dial is set on? The flash will not pop up if you have your main dial set on P, Tv, Av, M, A-DEP . If you are using one of these setting you have to manually turn on the flash by pressing the small button on the side of the lens with a Flash icon next to it. The only time the flash will automatically pop out is if you are using AUTO, Portrait, Close Up...etc. these icons would be underneath the Auto setting which are called Scene Mode, hope this helps ?

Try using FastStone image viewer

Software can be found at driverupdate us. Take a look... I hope this was helpful. Cheers

Most digital cameras can shoot 150.000 shots before the shutter becomes unreliable. If you take care your camera should do the same. The shutter is supposed the weakest part, because it is the only mechanical part in the camera.
