Images can be downloaded to a directory of your choice and optionally shown with the program associated to the JPG and CR2 extensions (see the “Destination folder” in the “File” menu).ĪBUtilities2 replaces ABUtilities distribuited in previous versions of this library.

You cannot download images from the compact flash. Only pictures taken with the camera (either with remote shooting or with the shutter button on the camera) will be downloaded. Only some basic functions are supported: remote shooting, shutter speed/aperture/ISO/white balancing and a few other things.

Since the kind of photography I normally do is (deep sky) astrophotography, this library has been designed and tested with that kind of use in mind. Not having found a suitable solution I decided to write my own, and soon (well, not that soon), this library was born. This prompted me to find a way to use both camera on the same PC at the same time.

I used the original Canon library (and in particular the Canon Utilities software) on my old Acer Ferrari PC witth Windows XP for nearly 10 years without any problem, and I was very happy about that.
