Precautions when Shooting with RemoteCapture

• If your computer is set to go into sleep mode, there is no guarantee that

RemoteCapture will continue to function after the computer has entered sleep
mode. Always turn off the sleep function before you start shooting with
RemoteCapture.

• The camera’s auto power save setting is disabled while connected to

RemoteCapture, and the power remains on until manually turned off. You are
recommended to power the camera with a household power source while it is
connected.

• Please note that the camera will not be able to shoot at the specified interval if it is

shorter than the time required to send the image and save it on the computer.

• If the camera is set for “mirror lockup” shooting, the shutter will activate

approximately two seconds after the release button is clicked in RemoteCapture.
(Supported by the EOS D30 only)

Setting Basic Shooting Settings in RemoteCapture

The camera’s shooting settings can be adjusted by clicking the [Shooting Settings] tab
in the RemoteCapture window.
Please adjust the shooting settings for the EOS D30 on the camera itself.
