Take the following steps to connect your camera to a PC and pass the camera control to inPhoto ID SLR:
Step 1. Switch the camera to program mode (P).
Depending on the model, the camera mode is switched either using the mode dial or from the camera menu. If the mode is set from the menu, it should be switched before the camera is connected to inPhoto ID SLR. After the camera control is moved to the application, buttons and other control elements on the camera body will be locked and you will not be able to switch mode from the menu.
To switch the mode when the camera has already passed control to inPhoto ID SLR disconnect the camera from the PC, switch the mode, then connect the camera to the PC. If inPhoto ID SLR cannot detect the connected camera run Reconnect.
Step 2. Remove SD memory card from the camera.
