pkTriggerCord

pkTriggerCord is a remote control application that you can use with your Pentax DSLR camera to take photos and even create time-lapse videos.

The application is lightweight and allows you to control the camera settings from its GUI or operate it from Command Line.

pkTriggerCord enables you to control the tethering process for your Pentax camera. Simply connect your DSLR to the computer using the USB cable, then control its options with the program.

Not only can you set parameters such as exposure and ISO, but you can control the shutter speed or automate the trigger.

The program is thus suitable for creating time-lapse videos since it can manage the photo capturing process and automate the changing of the settings.

The program can detect the camera model, as well as the platform on which it operates. Moreover, you may enable or disable the notification prompting.

pkTriggerCord can work with several Pentax models, but there are only a few fully supported devices.

Limited support for a particular camera model implies that you can take photos or change the settings, but you cannot read the status fields. The afferent documentation indicates exactly which models are partly supported.

The program allows you to set the camera aperture, shutter, ISO and exposure levels. The output settings include picture resolution, quality, image mode and quick adjustment levels: saturation, sharpness, contrast and hue.

The main interface features several focus points that you can use separately or combined. You may also preview the camera buffer and the settings window, plus enable the real time histogram tool.

Moreover, you can choose the output folder and the name of the pictures. You may save the images with titles that include incremental numbers. pkTriggerCord can easily be operated from its GUI or from the Command Line, using the dedicated arguments.
