How to control a camera with Delphi


A Delphi programm should make produkt photos with a Nikon D5000AF SDX. The only commands I need are "make a photo", "get me the photo".

Which library or API can help me?


Solution

  • @Heinz, to control a device you must use an SDK, which must be supplied by the manufacturer of the device.

    from the nikon site :

    ....We are offering Library Programs and Command API Specifications for software applications that offer remote control functions for Nikon digital-SLR cameras connected to a computer. When these are utilized, the software application can be used to modify camera settings, including shutter speed, aperture, and ISO sensitivity, and to control camera operations, including shutter release.

    in this page you can find the SDK for the Nikon cameras, including the D5000 series.

    Bye.
