CuteCanonCapture enables hands-free photography via a USB cable


When I look at the elaborate setup our driver licensing bureaus use to photograph people, I've often wondered if there isn't a less expensive solution. A decent Canon camera and CuteCanonCapture looks like it would be up to the task.

CCC is compatible with ten different PowerShot models: the A620/640, S80, S3/5 IS, G7/9/10, and SX100/110 IS. Plug in a USB camera to your camera and click to connect. Once active, you'll get a realtime view of what the camera sees. The program also allows you to adjust the exposure mode, flash, auto focus, and zoom.

It's fairly similar to the applications that come packaged with webcams, except the image quality is much better.

CCC is open source and available for download from the project's wiki site or from Freeware Files.

You bounce around picking up gems and talking to the denizens of 'Level Upland'. Eventually you feel tired and head back to ...
