Automatic Camera Import

To deactivate the automatic camera import you’ll have to check third party applications or services such as Dropbox. If you don’t, then those will interfere with the camera control.

  1. For example with Dropbox go and check the settings of the Import tab in the preferences.

  2. Make sure that the photos and videos upload is deactivated whenh a camera gets connected.
    If you don’t, applications might get launched automatically when you connect a camera and this will block Solar Eclipse Maestro from being able to control the camera.
  3. When connecting a digital camera Dropbox will display a dialog to start importing photos and videos. It is recommended to click on the Never for This Device button in order to prevent any potential conflict.
