Canon Utilities RemoteCapture

Canon Utilities RemoteCapture can work with a Canon camera in order to transfer the photos taken with the device automatically on a preset folder on your computer. It acts as a link between the camera and your PC, allowing you to manage digital photos without the need of a third-party utility.

The program was designed in an attempt to provide Canon users with a camera controller that also includes a viewer for displaying the photos in their full size. Learning how to use it can be done intuitively or aided by the help file included in the package.

Needless to say, the camera needs to be connected to the computer for all of the tasks described above to be carried out properly. After a short installation process, users can make acquaintance with the interface, which is fairly simple and easy to work with.

The images captured by the camera can be automatically downloaded to the selected folder when the device’s shutter is triggered. Alternatively, you can set the application to transfer the files on the memory card first and then, to the computer.

As soon as the images have been grabbed, they are displayed in a list of thumbnails in the upper part of the UI, while the lower part serves for the viewing of individual photos. For each of them, it is possible to view information such as camera model, shooting mode, aperture value and so on, accompanied by a histogram.

An added benefit of this software is that you can add comments to any of the photos and rotate them to the left or to the right on the spot, as well as to delete the ones you don’t fancy. Another possibility is to print the thumbnail index that is automatically generated by the software.

Canon Utilities RemoteCapture offers plenty of features that ease a photographer’s work and is comfortable to work with. Note that not all cameras produced by Canon are compatible with the application, however, a detailed list is provided in the ReadMe file.
