Studio Photo
Who can help me automate a digital photo studio?
I have to create a digital photo studio at work. I operate a businss that has to take alot of pictures of art. For years we have used our digital camera with our semi-pro equipment and have made our business so successful that our current process is too slow. I want to automate as much of the process as possible. I think I should be able to use a remote on our camera and have a monitor so I can see what I am shooting instead of looking through the camera. I also think that I can shoot directly to my hard drive...etc...etc..I can not find anything on line to read, I am getting now where with this. Does anyone know where I can talk to someone or recommend to me what or where I should go next.
Every DSLR (interchangeable lens digital camera) and many higher-end non-DSLR digitals allow "tethered" operation -- where the camera is connected to a computer by a USB cable, and the computer can control the camera (including exposure settings, focus, and taking the picture). The image is then downloaded directly to the computer, bypassing the camera's memory card, and shown on the computer monitor. You get a nice large assessable view of the image immediately, don't have to take out memory cards and download them to the computer, and quick adjustment of exposure parameters.
Check your camera's manual to see if the one you have can already work tethered (you may have to buy additional software -- with Canon cameras it comes with the camera, with Nikon you have to buy "Nikon Capture" software for about $100, other brands vary).
The link below has some 3rd-party software links to give tethered operations for a wide variety of cameras...
Good luck.
