The program enables tethering of Canon and Nikon DSLRs that support Live View mode.
Helicon Remote does not support cameras of other brands because they are not compatible with the required remote control protocol or do not have the relevant features (e.g. Live View, focus adjustment etc.).
NB! We are aware of all the cameras that are being released, each of them is checked for compatibility and if compatible it's added to the Supported cameras list as soon as possible (typically within one week after release). If you do not find the camera on the list it means that it's not supported due to certain technical reasons and most likely will not be supported in the future, unless it's a new Canon or Nikon DSLR that has just been released.
