Controlling Digital Camera using a SDK

[Adarsh]

Hi,

For an application I am using two Canon PowerShot SX 110IS cameras. I need to control the camera parameters (Zoom. Click, focus, macro on etc) form LabVIEW. I have SDK which is supplied by Canon. Can any one help me out in this regard? I will be more thankful if you share example code.

Thanks in advance,

Adarsh

Hi Adarsh,

what contains the supplied SDK? Do you have a dll or an activeX interface?

Hi,

Thank you for reply 🙂

SDK contains dlls(PRSDK.dll and PSLIB.dll).

Hi Adarsh,

try controlling the Camera with Active controls or DLL`s supplied from vendor.

Also make sure that the camera is supported for remote capture feature,

since some canon camera`s with digic 3 processor does not support this.

Also try this link and use this DLL . I have tried this with my application some 

time back . It works but without registration of this app the operation isn't very smooth.

Hi Adarsh,

do you have a description for your dll files? You can use the "call library function node" to call the exported functions of the dll.

But it looks like we have to pass pointers while calling the function. How to do that ?

I have attached dll descreption pdf.

Hi Adarsh,

as i already wrote, you can use the call library function node. There are options to send a pointer or to get data from your dll. Please see the before attached link.
