DSLR and Maxim       #3408523 - 10/24/09 04:37 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   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!!
