Question


I want to be able to control a DSLR camera to start/stop recording video.
Canon has a nice SDK, but it seems that Video capture is not supported.
Anyone know if Nikon SDK supports this ?
Maybe there is a workaround for shooting video using Canon's SDK ?

Thanks.

Was it helpful?

Solution 2

It seems this is impossible using Canon's SDK. I solved this with a hack - using a USB-IR transmitter that sends the signal used by a Canon Remote to start/stop video. Ugly but works.

OTHER TIPS

Another hack: you might be able to capture the liveview images and stitch them together into a movie file.
