Most digital photocameras have PTP mode. This mode allows you to control the camera's main functions such as preview, focal length, image size, shutter release, etc., from a remote computer. The camera must be connected via the cable supplied with the camera.
In the photocamera's menu for computer connection, select the PTP mode.
Connect the photocamera to the computer.
In the program select:
from the Tools main menu -> Settings -> Digital Camera: PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol);
