• 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 detailed operating procedures
for remote shooting.
