I had that for my PowerShot A510 and it was a fun utility. I'm not sure when they removed it or why. My PowerShot G12 and SX150 IS don't have that either.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Steve M.</P> Mon, 06 Apr 2015 15:56:07 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Point-Shoot-Digital-Cameras/Computer-Control-of-PowerShot/m-p/137665#M7615 smack53 2015-04-06T15:56:07Z
