Chapter 6 Using Supplementary Features Operating the Camera Shutter from a Computer (1/4) This section explains the procedures for remote shooting, the process of operating the camera shutter remotely from a connected computer. IMPORTANT • To confirm whether your camera supports remote shooting or not, check the guides that accompanied the camera. • Ensure that the camera and computer are connected with a USB cable and that the camera is ready to communicate before attempting remote shooting. If the camera is equipped with a lens cover, ensure that it is open. • Ensure that you turn off your computer's sleep feature before you begin remote shooting. The results cannot be guaranteed if the computer goes to sleep while remote shooting. • Close the Camera Window while remote shooting. • Except for the shutter button, the camera's buttons and switches, including the zoom, cannot be manually operated while the camera is being remotely controlled. • The time lag between pushing the shutter button and the release of the shutter is slightly longer for remote shooting compared with the normal mode of operation. • Depending upon your camera model, a program different from the one shown here may start up. Please refer to the manual for the software supplied with your camera if this occurs. REFERENCE • See the Help menu (it can be opened from the [Help] menu in the remote shooting window) for detailed operating procedures for remote shooting. • Images captured while remote shooting are saved into the folder that was selected when Remote Shooting was started.
