Having issues using your EOS Utility application on Windows 8? Here's the solution.





I use a Canon EOS 650D and whenever I connected it to my Windows 8 PC (x64), EOS Utility would not pick up on it and all options would remain grayed out and disabled. This problem is also reported on the EOS 7D and 5D.





To fix this problem is pretty simple.





Go to the Canon Support Page here.

Select your camera. I'm going to select the 650D.

On the next page, check out the numbered links below for news on your camera. Might find something important. I just learnt there's a problem with 650D's producing a white irritating substance on the grip over time, luckily their check system said my camera is not affected.
