This is NOT A WEB CAMERA SOFTWARE. Please read the full description before purchasing.
Multi-point live view, focus peaking, dual histogram, variable-step bracketing, industrial strength reliability and swift operation are the cornerstones of this premium Canon EOS tethering app. Photographers practicing slow-paced genres (like architecture, product, portrait, macro, landscape and astrophotography) will benefit from working on a large screen with advanced composition and evaluation tools, extensive exposure automation, precise exposure control and improved focusing accuracy — a must with today's high-megapixel sensors.

Kuuvik Capture 6 version 6.5
Updated At: 2024-01-04
Changes: Jan 4, 2024
Version 6.5
New features:
• Added support for Canon EOS R6 Mark II, R8, R50 and R100.
• Added audio recording level indicator in movie mode.
• The Record/Stop button turns red during movie recording to function as a tally lamp.
• Added support for 1/8-stop aperture increments in movie mode for EOS R series cameras.
• Thumbnails and embedded preview images are displayed from Canon RAW movie (CRM) files. Image import also supports these files.
• Live view can be restarted automatically. Immediately or after 2/4/8/16 seconds following a single image capture.
• Option to disable captured image downloading.
• Improved mouse wheel focusing, including support for using the Shift key as a large step modifier.
• To restrict AF to the specified AF point, [AF: Whole area tracking servo AF] is set to [Off] and [AF: Subject to detect] is set to [None] automatically on cameras having these settings.
• Added "Open in Kuuvik Capture 6" service to folder context menus in Finder.
• Improved USB connection problem detection.
Changes:
• RAW data is not loaded automatically for images made with in-camera distortion correction, as it may cause RAW clipping warnings to become unaligned with the displayed preview image. This new loading behavior can be changed with the updated "Automatically load RAW data" setting.
• "Prefer RAW" is turned off when a RAW clipping warning layer is turned off. Turning "Prefer RAW" on will automatically turn on both RAW clipping warning layers.
• The bracketing monitor is disabled in movie mode.
• Canon EOS cameras discontinued 10 or more years ago (1D Mark IV, 60D, 550D, 600D, 650D, 1100D, Rebel T2i, Rebel T3, Rebel T3i, Rebel T4i, Kiss X4, Kiss X5, Kiss X6i, Kiss X50) are considered obsolete. Kuuvik Capture may continue to work with these cameras, but we no longer validate compatibility and no longer provide bug fixes or technical support for obsolete cameras.
Fixes:
• Worked around the missing daylight savings time option in the EOS R5 C to ensure that time and time zone in VIDEO mode are always the same as those set by the app in PHOTO mode.
• Corrected a problem where the device's pairing name might appear garbled on the camera.
• Running a sequence with Cmd+R is disabled when there's no camera connected.
• Corrected a problem on macOS 14 that might lead to a crash when a camera is disconnected from the USB port.
