Editor's review

DSLR Assistant is camera control software that can control a Canon EOS digital camera from a Mac. The remote connection is through USB or Firewire cable.

DSLR Assistant is an application which lets you connect a EOS family DSLR through USB or Firewire and control just about everything in a photo taking process. The Mac is able to set resolution, shutter speed and aperture, white balance, ISO, metering modes. You could, of course set these values at the camera too but in many environments, setting it at the computer screen may be convenient. Particularly when you want to shoot the photo remotely, view it and then store on the local HDD. This way, you are able to verify that the lighting, exposure, focus and all the necessary settings are just right for the photo taken. You can arrange to name the photos automatically and then get them organized as they are stored in the drive.

For time lapse series of shootings you can set the time interval that should be used between shots and a series of photos would be taken automatically. RGB and individual channel histograms are shown on the interface so that you can immediately decide if the tonal quality is the way you wanted it! The interface will also highlight, focus points on shots taken. That enables an overlay that highlighting focus points used by the camera when recording the picture. You can thus make sure the right parts are in focus. The DSLR assistant is able to extract EXIF information from the cameras taking the pictures. The assistant is able to automatically highlight the areas that are over-exposed. It is then easy to balance the photo. It runs on Mac computer with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and supports a range of the EOS cameras from Canon.

Publisher's description

DSLR Assistant is an application to remotely control your Canon digital camera from a Mac computer using USB or Firewire cable. Control most camera parameters, including but not limited to resolution, shutter speed and aperture, white balance, ISO, metering modes. While it is still possible to set all options in the camera, it often makes more sense to work on the larger computer screen and to make the changes remotely.
Remote capture from your Mac and take pictures directly onto the hard drive. One of the most useful functions for studio photographers or anyone needing to work remotely with their camera. All procedures from shooting to saving images are smoothly processed. Great shots all the time! You finally have the ability to verify 100% of the time that focus, exposure, lighting, and of course composition are all the way you want them.
