CamRanger CamRanger User Manual - Commands

Commands
• Depending on the camera and the mode, capture can fail if the camera fails to acquire
focus.
• Intervalometer and Bulb commands are stored on the CamRanger hardware such that
the Mac does not need to remain on and connected.
• When an operation, command, or setting is not available or not working the issue is
often related to the camera setup. For example:
o Toggling to AF is disabled if the camera lens switch is set to MF.
o Live view will fail on Canon cameras if Live View Shooting is disabled in the
camera’s menu.
o Capture fails because the removable media on the camera is full.
• For Canon cameras, the Live View focus mode within the camera’s menu must be set to
“Live View”.
• Adjusting or viewing the number of bracketing shots is not currently supported. The
display assumes three shots. However, if the number of shots is actually 2, 5, 7, 9, etc.
the bracket amount is still correct it will just incorrectly display 3 shots.
• Some features are not supported by some cameras. For example continuous capture
mode is not supported on the Canon 40D and many Nikons do not support bulb shots.

Images
• The thumbnails are not downloaded until after the image has been recorded to the
camera’s card. On most cameras this is relatively quick. However, depending on the
camera, speed of removable media and number of shots taken in succession, there can
be a lag.
• CamRanger can be used to view and download pictures captured through other means.
So a photographer could be capturing images, or a RF or light trigger could capture
images and the CamRanger application would automatically download the thumbnails.
