Shooting with RemoteCapture

RemoteCapture will start if you click the ZoomBrowser EX [Edit] menu and select [RemoteCapture] when the camera is connected to the computer via a USB port. RemoteCapture lets you activate the camera’s shutter button remotely from the computer. The captured image is automatically saved into the currently selected ZoomBrowser EX folder.

RemoteCapture can only shoot still images.

If an EOS D30 camera is connected via a USB port, clicking the shutter button on the camera also downloads the image directly to the computer.
