Operating The Shutter Remotely - Canon PowerShot A530 Software Starter Manual

Operating the Shutter Remotely

You can record still images by using a computer to control the shutter of a connected camera.
This is particularly useful for checking images on the larger display of the computer as you
record them and for high volume photography without worrying about filling the camera's
memory card.
Preparing for Remote Shooting
1
Attach the supplied interface cable to the computer's USB port and the camera's

the correct mode for connecting vary between camera models. Please
refer to the Camera User Guide.

[CameraWindow] icon in the Dock (the bar at the bottom of the
desktop).
The Camera Control Window will display.
