Canon 5d Mark Iii Utility Software For Mac

Original reason for this article was the Technicolor profile, which is available here (Read Vincent quick review)! The only problem is that you need to have EOS Utility installed on your computer.

If you are like me, you threw the Canon CD away as soon as you opened you 5D Mrk II box. No problem you think, I just have to download the app from the Canon site. Problem is that Canon is only providing an updater, not an installer. Basically this means that you can only update your app, not install it. Luckily they made changes to this issue for Windows users, but problem persisted with the Mac users. But don’t worry we have solution.

Solution for OS X users

After 2.14 version of the EOS Utility Updater, you will not be able to use old tutorial that worked flawlessly so far, but there is a way to install newest and current version: 2.14.20a to your latest MAC OS X.

May 21, 2019  Re: 5D Mark III Software (MAC) In reply to TimTapio. Feb 12, 2013 Check the CD is or has the Mac version on it, Canon sometimes have 2 CD's one PC and one Mac. Apr 29, 2020  The EOS Webcam Utility Beta software is a nice addition for Canon users. The upgrade in quality over a computer's webcam is exceptional. Hopefully it's available for macOS soon and more cameras will be added to the compatibility list. Going forward, it should be a standard feature on all cameras, and not just Canon.

Older Mac OS X users have option to download Solution Disk Software which includes EOS Utility as well.

Solution for Windows users

If you want EOS Utility on the Windows 7 and you lost or trow away your disk, you have two options:
1. Go to official canon site, find your camera and Download EOS Digital Solution Disk Software located under Software (link for 5D Mark II here)

(it will ask you to input your Camera serial prior downloading)

Description: EOS Digital Solution Disk Software” is a software suite containing the applications “Digital Photo Professional”, “EOS Utility” and “Picture Style Editor”, dedicated for users who cannot use the bundled CD to install the suite to the PC.

2. If you have done already Windows Registry for older Updater you can download just new EOS Utility (current 2.13.40) and run install,
or if it doesn’t work follow modifications that you need to do:

Open Notepad and copy/paste or write:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonEOS Utility][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonDPP][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonZoomBrowser EX][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonZoomBrowser EXSettings][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonZoomBrowser EXInstall][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonPhotoStitch
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonEOS Capture][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonEOSViewerUtility][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonODSK]

You could insert only keys for software you want to install, rest is not needed, but no harm to put it all at once.
Pick to save as All Files from drop down (*.*). Save file as CanonPreInstall.reg, you can as well save as *.txt and then rename, be sure you have option to see extension turned on. Run it (double click or right mouse click “Merge”), confirm it !
After that you can run DPP update that you downloaded from official Canon site.
