Google changed the requirements for authenticating Gmail emails this year. As a result many Gmail users found they could no longer send emails from third party apps.
How does this affect emails from Breeze?
Gmail users now need to ‘authenticate’ ie approve third party applications which send emails from their gmail accounts.
If you do not use gmail to send emails from Breeze, this post does not affect you.
The latest release of DSLR Remote Pro (v3.15) adds support for Gmail’s new authentication requirements. Similar support will be rolled out to Breeze Kiosk, Hub and Booth (Windows + Webcam) aka Webcam Photobooth in the next release of each product.
You will need to authenticate Gmail emails for Breeze on every PC sending gmail emails from DSLR Remote Pro. The remainder of this post explains how to do this.
How to get your Gmail emails working again:
DSLR Remote Pro 3.15 users should go to the Email Server Settings screen, and
(1) Set Host to gmail.

There’sa new tutorial for DSLR Remote Pro users on the website explaining how to add privacy statements, Terms and Conditions or other information pages to the booth. Find it here
Tuesday 26th February. Canon announced at Photo Booth Expo that the EOS Rebel T7/2000D camera has been updated to add a center contact (X sync) on the hotshoe.
Why does this matter?
The updated T7/2000D B2B version camera will trigger most external flashes or studio strobes, making it a great budget choice DSLR camera for photo booths.
Older versions of the T7 did not have this center contact, meaning that this camera model was not suitable photo booths which use flash.
Spot the difference
Can I use the new EOS T7 B2B with Breeze?
Yes, all versions of Breeze which supported the original T7 will support the new version of the camera. That’s
Canon call this a running change, and have not changed the model name. Initially the camera will only be available to B2B customers. US buyers will need to place their order through Canon Inc.
There may be a mixture of new and old versions on the market. Do take care that you are sourcing the new version with X Sync when you order this camera.
We will have the updated EOS T7 on the Breeze stand (1113) when the Photo Booth Expo tradeshow opens this afternoon.
Southpoint Casino is buzzing as boothers arrive in Vegas for Photo Booth Expo. The main expo starts tomorrow and the tradeshow on Tuesday evening.
Steve and Chris are putting the finishing touches to a fabulous set of demos based on big brand activations. Come to stand 1113 and be inspired.
We’re delighted that Jürgen Mayr (Photobooth Deluxe) will be joining us on Wednesday afternoon. Jürgen is an expert Breeze user who offers a number of Breeze Addons including background removal.
Background removal
Background removal is a great alternative to green screen. The quality is awesome, there’s no cumbersome backdrop, and lighting is much simpler. Photobooth Deluxe and Gadbooth already offer add-ons supporting background removal for DSLR Remote Pro. You’ll be able to try background removal with both Breeze Booth for iPad and Breeze Booth (DSLR + Windows) on the stand.
