Name: Entangle
Author: The Entangle Photo project

Entangle is a program used to control digital cameras that are connected to the computer via USB.Entangle can trigger the camera shutter to capture new images. When supported by the camera, a continuously updating preview of the scene can be displayed prior to capture. Images will be downloaded and displayed as they are captured by the camera. Entangle also allows the settings of the camera to be changed from the computer.Entangle is compatible with most DSLR cameras from Nikon and Canon, some of their compact camera models, and a variety of cameras from other manufacturers.
