Operating the Shutter Remotely -
RemoteCapture
You can use a computer to control the shutter of a connected camera to record
still images. This is particularly useful for checking images on the larger
computer display as you record them.
Start the RemoteCapture program to perform this task.
Starting RemoteCapture
Start RemoteCapture from ImageBrowser.
Close the ImageBrowser Camera Window before starting
RemoteCapture.
1
Attach the supplied USB cable to the computer's USB port and the
camera's Digital terminal. Prepare the camera for communication
with the computer.
2
Close iPhoto or Image Capture if either program has started.
3
Open the lens cover or remove the lens cap on models equipped
with them.
Proceed to Step 4 if your model does not have one.
4
Start ImageBrowser.
5
Click ImageBrowser's [Edit] menu and select [RemoteCapture].
6
Click [Connect] when the "Connect to camera?" prompt appears.
The Communication Settings window will display. This window only
displays on the first connection.
7
Confirm that [USB port] is selected as the port option and that your
camera model name or [Canon Camera] are selected as the detected
camera. Click [Set].
iPhoto or Image Capture may automatically start up at the same time. Skip
to Step 9 if neither program starts up.
Procedures for attaching the camera to the computer and
placing it in the correct mode for connecting vary between
camera models. See Information about Your Camera (p. 91)
for details.
