Which camera is this? Image Capture has no native API for remote control, however, you could potentially use PTP pass-through if you have the camera protocol docs or reverse-engineered protocol info. (Look for ICAPTPPassThroughPB in the docs.)

If you are using a high-end Canon camera, you can use Canon's EDSDK (which is what I use) for remote control. EDSDK actually uses the Image Capture framework behind the scenes.

Other cameras have similar SDKs (of varying quality).


From the Leopard feature list (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/300.html#imaging ):

"Improved Tethered Camera Support
Control your camera directly from Image Capture, allowing you to take pictures and download them in a single, convenient step. More camera models from Canon and Nikon are now supported."

I had hoped it would do better than what you're describing.

I tried ImageKit, but it's a little too specifically geared toward taking pictures of the user, and doesn't seem to allow me to select which camera to use (it always uses the built-in iSight on my MBP).
