IMPORTANT • This function may not be available with certain camera models. Check your Camera User Guide to see if your model supports it. • On camera models with lens covers, open the lens cover before remote shooting. • Ensure that you turn off your computer's standby feature before you begin remote shooting. The results cannot be guaranteed if the computer enters the standby mode 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.
