  4. Editing, image slots, and publication follow automatically.

Canon and studio software at a glance

What is exchanged
With Photopilot Studio, for Windows and Mac, you control a Canon camera from your computer: live view, focus, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, white balance, and image quality. You scan the item, and every photo is added directly to that item in Photopilot, without renaming files. With the mobile app, you can also shoot with a phone.
How often
A photo is linked to the product immediately after it is shot. Automatic editing runs afterward, and the original is kept unchanged.
What you provide
A Canon EOS camera that works with Canon’s developer software (EDSDK), a USB cable, and Photopilot Studio. On Mac, a wireless remote can also be used as the shutter release.
Good to know
Three customers shoot with Photopilot; over the past month, more than 10,000 studio photos came in. If you use other studio software, photos are received through a shared folder with fixed file names.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cameras work with Photopilot Studio?

Canon EOS cameras that support the Canon EDSDK, via USB, on Windows and macOS.

How quickly does a studio photo appear in Photopilot?

Immediately after capture, with the scanned item. Automatic editing follows after that.

Does this work with our existing studio software?

Yes. Canon connects directly via Photopilot Studio on Windows and macOS. Photos from Capture One, Profoto, OrbitVu, or StyleShoots come in via a shared folder or network drive, with fixed filenames. There is no direct integration with that software.

Does my team have to approve every studio photo manually?

No. Teams only approve exceptions or creative choices. Publishing then flows to the web shop, DAM, FTP, or export.

How to start

First the trial route, then the technique

The integration is the starting point. After that, Photopilot keeps linking, editing, writing, checking, and publishing together.

  1. What is the source of truth?

    Which fields, images, and barcodes define the item.

  2. What can be automated?

    Link, crop, and text, or show an exception first.

  3. Where should it go?

    Webshop, FTP, Azure, or API, before anything is built.
