Overview
SmallHD has launched Camera Control for Canon, a new software solution designed to give filmmakers greater control over their Canon EOS cameras directly from their SmallHD monitors. This integration streamlines workflows by allowing adjustments to critical camera settings without needing to directly interact with the camera body.
Key Features and Functionality
Built upon SmallHD’s PageOS platform, the Camera control software provides a extensive suite of features. Users can view their shot while simultaneously fine-tuning camera settings and navigating Canon’s menu systems-all within the familiar SmallHD monitor interface. Specifically, the software enables control over:
- Exposure Settings: Adjust shutter speed, aperture, and ISO.
- Image Quality: Control codec selection and ND filter settings.
- Recording: Initiate and stop recording directly from the monitor.
- Focus Control: Utilize touch-to-focus functionality for precise adjustments.
- Full menu Access: Access and control the complete Canon camera menu system.
