DSLR and Maxim
      #3408523 - 10/24/09 04:37 PM

For those that control their DSLR with Maxim, question: I have a Canon XSi. Do I have to load any Canon drivers to utilize Maxim or does Maxim have everything contained within the program to operate the camera?

Thanks!! David

You have to load up the Canon drivers. Maxim uses them to control the camera.

I've used Maxim several times working with my 400D, and yes I did have to load the drivers, but I must say it worked VERY well running my camera.
