Using the Software on the Macintosh Platform – Advanced Techniques
Operating the Shutter Remotely (Remote Shooting)
63
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.
This function may not be available with certain camera models. Check your Camera User Guide to see if your model supports it.
Preparing for Remote Shooting
1 Attach the supplied interface cable to the computer's USB port and the camera's DIGITAL terminal and place the camera in the correct mode for connecting.
•Methods for connecting the camera to the computer and placing it in the correct mode for connecting vary between camera models. Please refer to the Camera User Guide.
•If the Camera Control Window does not automatically appear, click the [CameraWindow] icon in the Dock (the bar at the bottom of the desktop).
The Camera Control Window will display.
2 Open the lens cover or remove the lens cap on models equipped with them.
