DSLR Remote Pro v1.1 improves exposure control and adds support for new cameras
20th October, 2005 : Breeze Systems today released DSLR Remote Pro v1.1. Photographers can now use Breeze Systems' highly regarded software to control Canon EOS 5D, 350D/Rebel XT, 20D, EOS-1D Mark II and EOS-1Ds Mark II cameras as well as the 10D, 300D/Rebel, EOS-1D and EOS-1Ds models.
Improve exposure control in tricky lighting conditions with DSLR Remote Pro's unique ability to auto bracket up to 15 images with Canon DSLR cameras by varying either the shutter speed or the aperture. This greatly simplifies the taking of sequences of images which can then be combined to make High Dynamic Range (HDR) images in your image editor. This technique is particularly effective when taking interior shots or product shots without the need for sophisticated lighting.
View color managed previews where color accuracy is critical. Previews may also be sharpened using the highly acclaimed HQ sharpening routines used in BreezeBrowser Pro.

This photo was taken inside a 12th century church using available light. It illustrates how a series of images taken using the auto bracketing feature in DSLR Remote Pro can result a blended exposure with far more detail than can be obtained using a single exposure. The single exposure loses detail in the roof due to under exposure and in the stained glass window due to over exposure. By blending the auto bracketed shots in an image editor it is possible to retain detail in both the roof and the window.
The blended exposure used the seven shots below which were taken using DSLR Remote Pro's auto bracketing feature:
The photo was taken with available light inside St Andrews Church, Sherborne St John, England using a Canon EOS 5D controlled from a laptop using DSLR Remote Pro.
