I'm using digiCamControl to manage three synchronously shooting Canon EOS 5DSR's that are taking photos every seconds, triggered by an external intervalometer. I'm writing in high-quality JPEG to the SD cards and the computer so I can review the photos and adjust settings as needed.
I'm having issues with digiCamControl crashing, or with the cameras disconnecting, probably because it's overloaded/can't write the files quickly enough. It may be a limitation of my PC, but I wanted to check to see if there are any settings I should change to maximize transfer speeds.
I have disabled: auto preview, auto rotate image, load thumbs in download window, automatically send usage statistics, load canon transfer mode, disable hardware acceleration, and webcamera support.
I am not using Live View, but I noticed that it's still mentioned in the logs:
2019-07-20 18:27:12,681 [42]DEBUG DCC [(null)] - Camera.ResumeLiveview(); DONE
Is this a background process that is running that I can disable?
Thanks!
Maximizing transfer speeds- LiveView fully disabled?

Re: Maximizing transfer speeds- LiveView fully disabled?
That debug line is somehow wrong, the live view is resumed only if already was started in other cases don't do anything
