Operating the Shutter Remotely (Remote
Shooting)
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.
• Ensure that you turn off your computer's standby mode before you begin
remote shooting. The device performance cannot be guaranteed if the
computer enters the standby mode.
•RAW images can not be recorded.
Remote Shooting can only be used with camera models listed as compatible
with remote shooting in the Specifications section of the Camera User Guide.
