Applying for SDK access

Before you can use this library you need to obtain the EDSDK native library from Canon. You can do so via their developers program:

Once you were granted access - this may take a few days - download the latest version of their library and follow the usage instructions.

This currently only works with OSX. You will need drop “EDSDK.framework” into “/System/Library/Frameworks/”.

camera_index = 0
Canonball.take_picture(camera_index)

Download photo(s):

camera_index = 0
