PSRemote Details

Features

• Take control of your Canon PowerShot camera from your PC

• Photos automatically downloaded to the PC and displayed in a large preview window (see below)

• Fullscreen mode for large, uncluttered display of images
  
  

• Live viewfinder display on PC screen

• Time-Lapse feature allows the number of photos in a sequence and the interval between shots to be specified over extended periods

• Photos are saved on the PC's hard disk and can also be saved on the memory card in the camera

• Grid overlay display for accurate alignment of studio shots. The size and color of the grid is user definable

• Automatic screen blank option - blanks the screen before taking a photo so that the light from the PC display doesn’t affect the subject lighting

• Choose to take photos from the camera or from the PC

• Automatic edit option - automatically loads the image after downloading into the editor or program of your choice

• Automatically stores a short comment in the shooting data of images for easy identification e.g. the person’s name when taking id photos

• Optional flashing highlight display to make it easier to identify over exposed areas

• ‘Onion skinning’ option in live viewfinder display. ‘Onion skinning’ superimposes the live viewfinder data over the last image taken and is a big help when creating animations

• Full size preview window can display a critical area of the photo e.g. the eyes and face of your model during a portrait shoot

• Remembers camera settings and restores them when the camera is next used with PSRemote

Interface with other applications

PSRemote also includes a DLL and a sample program (complete with C++ source code) which allows other applications to release the camera's shutter and adjust the shutter speed and aperture. This opens up many exciting possibilities such as movement or sound sensors being used to trigger the camera for taking wild-life shots with this remote capture tool. Please see the online help pages for details.
