Implemented the Lua Scripting Photo Mode. This photo mode lets you load a script written in the programming language Lua. The script can be run on the host PC to remote control the camera by accessing camera functions and waiting for camera events. A whole API to access the camera is implemented. For more infos, including an introduction and an API cross reference, see the document LuaScripting.md Lua scripting uses Lua version 5.3.2.

Implemented the "Previous images" view that shows all images taken with RemotePhotoTool. The view is accessible even when no camera is connected. It shows only the images taken in the current program session.

Redesigned the user interface to use the ribbon more:

  • When a camera is connected, the Camera contextual ribbon tab is available. It lets the user start a shutter release and adjust various camera settings, such as shooting mode, aperture, save-to location and more.
  • When scripting photo mode is selected, the Scripting contextual ribbon tab is available. It lets the user open Lua scripts, start and stop running scripts, and switch to the standalone scripting editor RemoteScriptingEditor.exe.
  • When live viewfinder is active, the Viewfinder contextual ribbon tab is available. It lets the user start auto focus and auto white balance, zoom in/out, select a lines mode and toggle showing overexposed areas in the live viewfinder.

RemotePhotoTool now uses the Canon EOS Digital SDK version 3.2.1 that supports many newer EOS DSLR cameras. For a full list, see SupportedCameras.md.

RemotePhotoTool is now built with Visual Studio Community 2015.
