You can send serial commands through the Camera File Interface using the
Camera File Generator. Open your camera file and choose the
Camera Control Tab. There, you will see the
Attribute Tree. Once you have added attributes to the tree with its list of possible values, it will look like Figure 1 below:
Figure 1. Camera Control Attributes
When you click on a possible value for an attribute, you can select the
Serial tab in the
Actions. From there, you can add the serial command to send to your camera to set the attribute you have selected. You can usually find the serial commands available to send to your camera in your camera manual.
The
Add and
Edit Serial Action Interface, as shown in Figure 2 below, lets you send commands directly to your camera.
