Remote Shooting using ZoomBrowser EX ver. 5.x
This section explains the procedures for remote shooting, the process of operating the camera shutter remotely from a connected computer.
IMPORTANT - See your Camera User Guide to check whether your camera supports the remote shooting function or not.
- 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.
- See the Help menu (it can be opened from the [Help] menu in the remote shooting window) for more detailed operating procedures for remote shooting.
