You can use a computer to control the shutter of a connected camera to record
still images. This is particularly useful for checking images on the larger
computer display as you record them.
Start the RemoteCapture program to perform this task.

Close the ZoomBrowser EX Camera Window before starting
RemoteCapture.

Attach the supplied USB cable to the computer's USB port and the
camera's Digital terminal. Prepare the camera for communication

with them.
Proceed to Step 3 if your model does not have one.
