Description
A remote control solution for Canon cameras, DSLR Remote Pro allows you to control
one or more cameras from a single PC, view the pictures while you are shooting, add
IPTC data automatically, store the images locally, and conduct time-lapse photography.
Its features include automatic bracketing (up to 15 shots by varying the shutter speed
or aperture), image preview in black and white or color, overexposure warnings, grid
overlay for accurate alignment, and focus point overlay to assist focusing.
Comments
There are dozens of potential applications for this exciting product, especially using the
auto-bracketing feature. With this technique you can make high dynamic range (HDR)
images that would be impossible to take with manual operation of the camera.
Birdwatchers and other wildlife photographers can hook it up to sound or movement
sensors to capture close-ups of the subject with wide-angle lenses.
Shortly after its launch, DSLR Remote Pro was highly praised by Michael Reichmann
on his Website The Luminous Landscape (www.luminous-landscape.com). He called it
“a revelation” because it places full-sized images on to the computer screen within seconds
of taking them remotely. This means you can play with exposure, color balance,
and compositional changes, and then examine the effects without delay. Quite apart
from all its other applications, DSLR Remote Pro is clearly a great educational tool.
