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 an
interface cable and that the camera is ready to transfer data
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 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.
