EOS Utility: Remote Live Shoot with Flash and view Histogram

thomaswestin — Thu, 24 Feb 2022 14:32:04 GMT

Hi all,

It is my first post (and sorry if it is duplicated as it seem to not have been submitted). I have a 5DSR with a pair of Elinchrom studio flash. I connect to EOS Utility on my laptop via USB.

I use EOS Utility to remote control my camera but want to be able to see the actual histogram directly after the shoot (not the simulated one you can see in live view). I.e. similar to how you can it on the camera display after each shoot.

How do I do that? I have a workaround to transfer it to my computer and check it in Photoshop but it is not as fast as seeing directly.

Best,

Thomas

I don't think you can. But you can configure EOSU to open Canon DPP4.

Thanks John, that is a reasonable workaround, I'm just surprised that a professional tool like this doesn't have this basic functionality built-in after all these years.
