E-Capture is a program that performs a simple task: it captures images from
an Olympus E-System camera tethered
to the PC's USB port and saves the images to disk as fast as possible. It
does not display images, nor does it
have an image browser, leaving that job to an image browsing or cataloging
program such as ACDSee, Bibble,
Lightroom etc.

Since it is a very small program, it is much faster to use than Olympus
Studio 2 for those who are only interested in
the tether support of Studio 2. All E-System cameras are supported, from the
original E-1 to the latest E-30.

Currently, E-Capture only saves the images to disk.  In some future release,
we may support direct export to
Lightroom. Currently, if you are using Lightroom, you will need to set up
Lightroom to auto-import images from
E-Capture's output directory.

The images are named as a sequence of 2 digits: yymmddhrmn for year, month,
day, hour, minutes respectively, and
if necessary, an additional 2 digit second value is added to make the file
names unique. The file extension is .ORF
for RAW files and .JPG for JPEG files.

To use E-capture, invoke the program. Then attach your E-System camera to
the PC's USB port and turn on the
camera. On the camera's control LCD, select "Control" and hit OK. The
program will recognize your camera
automatically. If you attach another E-System camera when one is already
under the program's control, you have
the option to choose whether to switch control to the new camera. You may
detach the camera at any time except
during image downloading.

The program is protected, and will not save images after 15 days unless you
purchase a license ($10). To purchase,
go to http://www.imagecraft.com and click on the "Photo Software" button.

Once we process your order, we will send you the registration name and a
license key. Enter the info to the
Help->"Register Software" dialog box and click "License" to activate your
license.
