Who Uses DSLR Remote Pro?

Product photographers use the grid overlay option for accurate alignment and composition of product shots. The ability to control shutter speed, aperture, ISO etc. from the PC and to take fast, large preview shots saves valuable time when setting up a shot. The flashing highlight display and histogram display (intensity, red, green and blue channels) give accurate exposure feedback. Provides color managed previews for more accurate display of colors for critical applications.

Press photographers find the ability to embed IPTC data in images as they are downloaded particularly useful. The IPTC data can be prepared before a shoot and then automatically added to images as they are transferred to the PC ready for immediate onward transmission to the picture desk. DSLR Remote Pro is used by both press agencies (including Getty Images and Reuters) and freelance photojournalists.

Portrait and event photographers take pictures using the camera as normal and download them automatically to a PC where an assistant can show them to customers, take reprint orders or print them on the spot.
