OVERVIEW OF KEY NEW FEATURES
Video mode
The Promote Control’s new Video mode allows you to remotely control Canon digital SLR cameras capable of Live View video recording. You can remotely control aperture, ISO, shutter speed and even perform a rack focus while recording.
Repeated Time-Lapse
You can now automatically repeat a Time-Lapse sequence at pre-defined intervals.
