What is Remote Live View Shooting?
You can operate your camera remotely from EOS Utility Ver.3.x and shoot still photos and movies while looking at the subject on the EOS Utility Ver.3.x screen. Also, the captured still image is directly saved on your computer; therefore, you can check it with Digital Photo Professional Ver.4.x.
After shooting a movie, you can download the image data from the camera's memory card to a computer and save them in a selected folder.
This page describes how to shoot still photos and movies remotely using the Remote Live View function in default settings.
For details on how to change settings to enable Remote Live View shooting, please refer to the camera’s instruction manuals (included on the CD-ROM).
