Triggering exposures
- Must avoid touching the shutter button - vibrates the camera
- Really want a remote control, via cable or radio
- Or use the self-timer delay available in most cameras -
vibrations from touch die away before shutter opens
- Or use a black card in front of the lens (not touching) -
open shutter manually and wait 1 second before removing card
Canon DSLR* cameras come with a free application called EOS Utility - you can control the camera from Windows PC or Apple Mac via USB cable (also supplied)
* DSLR = Digital Single-Lens Reflex
