Burst capture of Canon 77D

Post by zorro » Sat Jan 26, 2019 7:30 pm

Hi,

Just a quick question. I am using Canon 77D. I notice there is a 1-2 second pause after each capture before I could take another shot. However, with EOS Utility, I could take shots much quicker, with minimal pause between shots.

My PC uses super fast NVME SSD, so I don't think it is due to disk writing.

I love DigiCamControl as it is so much more versatile than EOS Utility. I hope there is a way to increase the capture speed.

Thanks again.

Update: My workflow currently uses the Remote Utility to trigger capture as defined below:

http://www.digicamcontrol.com/doc/userguide/remoteutil

The command I am using is: CameraControlRemoteCmd.exe /c capture

Everything is working perfectly, except for the "pause" or "freeze" between shots.

It seems like Digi Cam Control Software requires several seconds to "process" each photo transferred to PC before the Remote Utility could perform the next capture.

Is there anyway that would allow me to capture at around 1/2 second interval with the Remove Utility (or any other methods without using a physical remote or touching the camera)?

Your help would be greatly appreciated :)
