Helicon Remote 3.8.4

A great tool that all photographers, amateur and professionals should have.

Helicon Remote is a software solution that allows you to take control of your DSLR camera and shoot using a tethered connection.

Helicon Remote allows you to control Canon or Nikon DSLR cameras remotely and automates focus (DoF) bracketing, exposure bracketing (HDR), and time lapse photography. It can even combine all these methods together.

Helicon Remote can also control StackShot macro rails and Trinamic stepper motors, devices typically used for focus (DoF) bracketing in macro, extreme macro and micro photography.

With Helicon Remote you can remotely capture and view full-resolution JPEG/RAW images to check their focus and exposure. You can also view and capture video. This is ideal for macro photography, when your camera is often in an awkward location and you want to avoid camera shakes caused by pressing the buttons.

The application automates focus bracketing. You set the nearest and the farthest points of the object that you want to have in focus, and the program does all the rest, calculating the depth of field in one shot at the current settings and how many shots need to be taken. Helicon Remote facilitates precise focusing: you just click or tap on the Live View to focus the lens. The focused area is then highlighted so that you can preview the DoF with the current settings and make incremental focusing steps.
