PicThrive Instant allows you to connect to your camera, take photos, get a liveview, adjust settings and transfer photos automatically into albums. Check List of supported cameras to see if your camera is supported.

To connect your camera to PicThrive Instant

  1. Open PicThrive Instant (or Install it if you haven't already)
  2. Navigate to "Settings"
  3. Go to the "Folder Detection" section
  4. Enable folder monitoring, and specify a local folder. This is where photos will automatically be transfered from the camera to when they are detected.
  5. A new window will automatically appear.
  6. In this new window click "Cameras" on the top-left
  7. Turn on your camera and enable CCAPI (Enable CCAPI on your Canon Camera)
  8. Copy the Address (eg. 192.168.0.21:8080) displayed on the camera into the text box on PicThrive Instant
  9. Click Connect
  10. The camera will now appear, with controls, in the window below.
