tethering - Is it possible to do remote capture on a Canon DSLR?


Is it possible to do remote capture on a Canon EOS DSLR? I have an infra-red remote, but when I connect the camera to the PC via USB I only get the option to download pictures from it.


I'm a pretty proficient Windows user, currently on XP, Vista or Win7 depending on which machine I use. The laptop is Win7, so any information with a bias in that direction would be most appreciated. :)

If you're on Windows, then you'd use the "EOS Utility" application (which you can download from Canon if you haven't already got it).


This application supports:



  • Functions for downloading and displaying images

  • Remote shooting, and camera control of each setting when an EOS DIGITAL camera is connected to a computer
