Canon EOS 1000 / Nikon + Delphi

Question

hi!

I am looking for a way to be able to control my Canon or Nikon camera from delphi, Basically I need to find a way to receive the new image while the camera is connected with USB on the fly, i.e. detect when a new picture was taken, so I can take action in my application for example cropping the image, adjusting brightness etc etc

I look at Canon's homepage and seems they do not offer SDK for europe.

please advice, anyone ?

Answer 1

To control a device like a camera you have two options

1) use an SDK which is supplied by the manufacturer of the device.

• Canon SDK Web Page
• Nikon SDK Web Page

2) use the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA), from the delphi IDE you can use the Component->Import Component->Import Type Library option to create a wrapper to work with this library.

Answer 2

I have good experience with CamRemote and integrated it in several applications

Answer 3

Look also for (Delphi) TCamRemote for Canon camera. It comes with sources and many demos.
