§
Canon: When in a continuous mode, pressing and holding the Capture
button behaves in the same way as pushing the physical trigger on the
camera.
o It is noted that there can be a very slight lag between the pressing of the
“Capture” button and the image capture. The delay can be more pronounced
while live view is active. For time critical applications, a remote trigger, such as
an RF trigger, can be used in combination with the CamRanger.
Auto / Manual Focus Toggle
o The AF/MF Focus toggle button allows the user to change the focusing between
auto and manual without having to physically adjust the camera.
o This AF/MF adjustment is not possible for all cameras in all modes. For example,
some Nikon cameras are required to be connected in “PC” mode, which is
accessible by selecting “Connection” on the Mac CamRanger menu bar followed
by clicking “PC.”
o After any touch or incremental focusing while in live view, the focus mode will
automatically attempt to switch to manual focus such that the user specified
focus is not overridden by auto focus upon capture.
Live View
o The “Live View” toggle button is used to turn live view on and off.
o When live view is on, the main image view is updated with live view images as
well as updating the RGB histogram in the Data tab if the live view histogram is
turned on.
o Note: running live view is relatively intensive and there may be slight
performance lags in other areas.
Movie Mode
o The “Movie Mode” toggle button is used to turn live view on and off, but within
movie mode.
o When movie mode is on, the main image view is updated with the live images.
o The “Capture” button changes to “Record” and pressing the “Record” button will
start and then stop the recording of a movie.
o Note: movies cannot be downloaded to the Mac using the CamRanger.
