Will there be a version of this great piece of software for the sony a300 anytime soon?

Joan, and John, sorry I have not yet been able to work out how to do LiveView or Bulb mode. It may be impossible using the WIA interface.

Barry,

1. It is intended to open that way, I’ll see if I can make an option for an alternative way as you describe.

2. Does it work for you with Bridge?

3. No, there is no way I can do that via WIA.

4. I see no problem there.

5. 4.0 should handle this better and timeout but I still need to improve it.

How would one access “B” through your program?

Specifically how would you open the shutter and then close it again as you would with a cable release?

Thanks

John

I installed and succesfully ran v3.1 with D300 under XP SP3 today. I also studied .hta and css files for answers to the following (but could not discover solutions).

1) clicking thumbnails opens image in MS IE browser. This is not my default application for .jpg filetype. I would like to have the image open in BreezeBrowser. Is it possible?

2) Push to external viewer did not work when checked. Still I need to click on thumbnail.

3) I would like to shoot combined RAW and JPEG. This can be achieved if the shutter is released on-camera. If the shutter is released on PC,then only raw OR jpeg can be used.

4) The .hta file instructs v3.1 WindowState to open “maximise”. I changed to “restore downward” and assume no problem.

5) If the camera fails to achieve focus-lock and no camera customs are set to disable shutter release without focus lock acheived, then v3.1 appears to hang (PC release mode). Could this not auto timeout & reset itself?

“No cameras detected. Ensure camera is connected and visible via Widows Explorer as a camera, not a drive” What does this mean? What went wrong? My Windown xp do recognize the cmera by popping up the start window, but the Camera Control 3.1 cant read it? Im having the Nikon d50 camera. Thanks for your help allready. This is so awesome if I’ll make it work!
