Shooting With Remotecapture - Canon PowerShot A40 Software Starter Manual

Shooting with RemoteCapture

RemoteCapture will start if you click the [Edit] menu in ImageBrowser and select
[RemoteCapture] when the camera is connected to the computer via a USB interface.
RemoteCapture lets you control the camera's shutter remotely from the computer to
shoot still images.
• You can also save images directly to the computer by pressing the
camera's shutter button. However, if you press the camera's shutter
button while a file is being transmitted to the computer, the shutter will
not release until the transmission is complete. Other buttons and
switches on the camera, including the zoom, will also not operate with a
transmission in progress. The camera's shutter button cannot be used
with RemoteCapture on some models (p. 12).
• You may notice that the interval between the shutter release and activation is
slightly longer when RemoteCapture is used to shoot than when the camera
is used in the normal fashion.
• Images shot with RemoteCapture are automatically saved to the folder
selected in ImageBrowser.
• You cannot use RemoteCapture when the USB Mounter is running (p. 101).
