Compose the Perfect Shot with Live View

Reduce re-shoots and post-processing by using live view in a window or full-screen or even on another monitor to make sure your composition and exposure is perfect before you take the shot. You can even capture an image with motion detection.

Remotely autofocus or manually adjust the focus without touching the camera. Includes copystand mode, compositional guides, focus peaking, inner and outer exposure markers, overlays, slide simulation, jitter reduction, rotation overrides and cropping.

And if you are shooting with strobes and find the live view is too dark, you can bump up the brightness so that you can compose with ease.

Keep Your Images Organized

Dynamic File and Folder Names - Take advantage of ControlMyCanon's extensive options for naming files and folders. Use numbering, dates and even embed data from batch shooting sessions. File and folder names modified by a barcode? Yes, it can do that too.

Backing Up - For safe keeping, use ControlMyCanon's optional mirroring function to transfer a copy of your captured image to another location, such as a network or USB drive.

Save Time with Batch Shooting

Perfect for those product, school, lab or other shoot that requires accurate record keeping. With the batch shooting feature, you can import a data file in advance of your shoot or query a live database and have ControlMyCanon embed the data into your image filename, folder name and metadata. If you don't have a data file, you can embed the barcode instead.

Use an optional barcode scanner for bulletproof data entry. Keeping all those images organized has never been so easy.

You can even trigger the shutter automatically when you scan the barcode.
