Breeze Booth (DSLR+Windows) aka DSLR Remote Pro 3.19 was released today, bringing users support for two new cameras, an easy to use Survey Generator, Outline/Sticker Mode, Print Compositing and Time Limited events
Grab attention with DSLR Remote Pro’s new scrapbook style Outline effect for photos and slideshow GIFs. Guest love them.
Breeze Booth outlines come in any color you choose, and work with both greenscreen and AI background removal.
No Photoshop required!
A whole new level of creative control. Wide range of innovative photo effects ranging from transparency and blurring to filters and blend modes.
Repeated image with varied opacity
DSLR Remote Pro adds suport for Canon’s new EOS R8 and EOS R50 cameras.
The EOS R8 is a compact, high quality full frame camera with excellent autofocus which is capable of 180fps slow motion video. It’s less expensive and more compact than the Canon EOS R6 Mark II while offering similar autofocus and image quality.
The EOS R50 does not have a center contact on the hotshoe. To use this camera for a photo booth with external flash you need a Canon AD-E1 Multi-Function Shoe Adapter which fits into the hotshoe and provides a hotshoe with a center contact. Please note that this adds to the height of the camera: please ensure there is enough space in your photo booth housing for it to fit.

Did you know that there are several ways to add a simple consent screen or disclaimer to DLSR Remote Pro?
Data is usally collected using a survey. However there are simpler ways to ensure guests agree to disclaimers or terms and conditions at the start. This post runs through three alternatives:
Note: All three methods provide a gate guests pass by answering one question. In the worked examples I use But first.. May we share your photos online. Replace this with any question which suits your purpose.
When you need guests to answer several questions, record or analyze their responses, use a survey instead.
To query consent at the standby screen,:
Auto standby returns the booth to the Welcome screen instead of the Ready screen at the end of each session.
Start DSLR Remote Pro and click on Advanced Settings. Check Auto standby and save your changes.
Make your graphic a jpg image which is the same size as your screen (in pixels). Call the graphic requesting consent to use the photos welcome.jpg and add it to your PhotoboothImages folder.
To attract attention, you can also animate the screen. How to animate screens.
Add the touchscreen action Switch from standby to ready to welcome.jpg
You can ask the same question on the ready screen instead of the standby screen.
You can also link from the ready screen to Information pages providing detailed term and conditions.
Guests clicking Yes! starts the countdown. Guests choosing No are returned to the standby screen. Guests clicking Maybe are shown information screen(s).
In the example above, ready.jpg is white with Yes, No and Maybe buttons. (Maybe is optional and links to information screens.)
ready_overlay.png provides the question text on a transparent background so that it shows in front of the live view.
Make sure both ready.jpg and ready_overlay.jpg are the same size in pixels as the screen.
You may prefer to switch off live view in the ready screen by checking Disable live view in ready screen in Live View Settings.
You need to add three touchscreen actions to the ready screen.

This option may be preferred by advanced users comfortable with profiles. If you are not familiar with profiles, use one of the approaches above.
Build a menu profile asking May we share your photos… ?
Use
Check everything works and save your changes before you finish.
Create custom surveys to collect guest data and record consent.
Survey data can be analysed, displayed in prints, and used to separate images into different folders.
To add a detailed GDPR compliant privacy statement, terms and conditions or any other information screen(s) to your booth use DSLR Remote Pro Information screens.
Watch out for DSLR Remote Pro 3.19, which will introduce a new way to create simple surveys.
