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.

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