Can I capture directly into the computer without storing on a card?
Yes. The E-1 and E-300 can capture directly to a computer and do not require a card. Any of our SDK capable Storage Class cameras can be set to bypass writing to the internal memory card.
This depends on many factors including shooting mode, resolution and whether you download between shots but will be similar to operating the camera by hand.
Most camera functions can be controlled from the PC. • Capture and download. • Resolution. • Optical and digital zoom. • Aperture and shutter speed. • Focus and flash modes.
Some camera settings are not available to the SDK. • Special function modes such as B&W and Sepia. • Flash compensation. • Manual white balance. • Camera language.
This only applies to V1.5 and V2.0 cameras. It is VERY important to match Connect and DisConnect calls, even after an error. Failing to do so will cause the camera connection to fail and require manually resetting the camera.
I am matching the Connect and DisConnect call and am still loosing connection with the camera.
This only applies to V1.5 and V2.0 cameras. Try to place the Connect and DisConnect calls as close as possible to the actual camera commands. If there is too much time between calling Connect and sending a camera command the connection may time out.
Some of the camera settings I set using the SDK are reset after sending the DisConnect command.
This only applies to V1.5 and V2.0 cameras. Some settings do not persist outside of a Connect/Disconnect block. The application should repeat these commands before each capture.
Can the camera be operated manually when connected to the computer?
No. When the camera is connected to the computer all buttons are disabled. The E-1 and E-300 do have a mode that allows them to be operated manually when connected to the computer.
My computer recognizes the camera but I cannot connect using the SDK.
Storage Class cameras using the Rye, RyeNV or RyeDLL controls must be placed in PC Control Mode and the proper registry string must be set. Information on setting PC Control Mode and the proper registry strings is included in the SDK manual.
Why does the Connect command take so long when using the Wheat control?
Set the Port property to the proper port. If the Port property isn’t set the control must scan the serial and USB ports for a camera which can take extra time.
How can I get back the SDK capabilities for my C-740 / C-750 after firmware update for Pictbridge
For C-750 there is an update in the code library. For C-740 it can only be done from the service. There is no possibility to do this roll-back at your side.
