Shooting by Operating the Camera
Even when remote shooting is set, you can still operate the camera and
shoot – as when shooting with only the camera. Also, since the shot
images are saved to your computer’s hard disk, you can shoot large
quantities without having to worry about the capacity of the memory
card.
You can check the shot images immediately in Digital Photo
Professional (hereinafter DPP), which is linked to start up automatically.
