ASSIST

Canon photographers and users who rely on the Stereo Data Maker to tweak their digital cameras could find that installing it is a rather cumbersome process, due to the numerous camera builds available. ASSIST is a straightforward application that was created in order to help users deploy the SDM package on their cameras with ease, therefore avoiding any installation wizards.

ASSIST presents users with a minimalist interface that will allow people to use any image taken with the camera who’s firmware they prefer to update, in order to determine the appropriate firmware revision.

Effortless drag-and-dropping of the image will determine the application to automatically detect the build and make of the camera. After displaying the camera information, ASSIST will provide users the option to download the latest available firmware revision.

Users will be able to select the download for the firmware revision that corresponds to the build and make of their camera. Provided that they have their camera connected to their PC, the application will offer people a four step automatic sequence for performing the necessary update.

By simply clicking on the download button, one will initiate the application’s automatic process that will obtain the required build, prepare the camera’s SD card and copy the required files to the card. All with a single click, therefore allowing novice users to avoid the trouble of manually searching for the corresponding build.

For those who require a quick fix for their Canon cameras by installing the SDM package, this utility will provide a swift deployment process. It use images captured with their cameras and automatically detect the required build for their model. Inexperienced users will benefit most from ASSIST’s features, since it will allow them to install the required SDM package without the need to manually search for the corresponding version.
