Chris the reject video function when selected displays a shrunken photo preview and does not restart the video booth menu. I have to press the coordinate where the accept video button is to return to menu. Any ideas? Here is the Profile directions you gave me a couple months back

Profile 1: standby.xml
Photobooth images folder "...\standby"
Live view disabled, "Startup in video booth mode when selecting full screen photobooth" unchecked
Touchscreen action to select profile 2 (menu)

Profile 2: menu.xml
Photobooth images folder "...\menu"
Live view enabled, "Startup in video booth mode when selecting full screen photobooth" unchecked
Touchscreen actions to select profile 3 (color) , profile 4 (B&W) and profile 5 (video) and maybe one to select profile 1 to go back to standby

Profile 3: color.xml
Photobooth images folder "...\booth"
Live view enabled, "Print photos in color", "Startup in video booth mode when selecting full screen photobooth" unchecked
Touchscreen actions to select profile 2 (return to menu) and to start the shooting sequence

Profile 4: bw.xml
Photobooth images folder "...\booth"
Live view enabled, "Print photos in B&W", "Startup in video booth mode when selecting full screen photobooth" unchecked
Touchscreen actions to select profile 2 (return to menu) and to start the shooting sequence.

Profile 5: video.xml
Photobooth images folder "...\booth"
Live view enabled, "Startup in video booth mode when selecting full screen photobooth" selected
Touchscreen actions to select profile 2 (return to menu) and to start the shooting sequence. You could also add actions for replay and accept/reject.

The ready.jpg screen in the "...\standby" photobooth images folder would show a welcome screen
The ready.jpg screen in the "...\menu" photobooth images folder would show the three shooting options
The "...\booth" photobooth images folder can contain the ready screens for the three shooting options:
ready_c.jpg for color, ready_b.jpg for B&W and video_ready.jpg for video

Finally set profile 1 as the default profile so that the booth returns to this after each shooting sequence.

The reject button works fine if I dont use a profile instead just one set of touchscreen buttons with AHK. I really want to have a default profile with live view disabled

Are you using DSLR Remote Pro or Webcam Photobooth? There was a problem with DSLR Remote Pro when using a default profile to switch to stills photobooth mode after taking a video. This has been fixed in the latest version, DSLR Remote Pro for Windows v2.3.2.

Chris I am using DSLR Remote Pro Windows version 2.3.2 I am not able to reject video without a funny screen appearing. I had the same issue when using the previous version. Currently I cannot use a default profile. Any ideas?

It only happens intermittently on my system, but I think I can reproduce the problem. I need to do some more testing to work out what's happening.

The reject option is the only feature not working when using a default profile. A black screen with a shrunken picture appears, once the picture was full size. If I do not use a default profile it works fine. I really want a default profile to reduce image processor heat and to reduce the need for AHK to return to photo after video mode. Please let me know it you need me to send you a video or pics of whats going on. Thanks for your help Chris.

I've found the problem and will fix it in the next update. The cause of the problem is quite subtle and complicated and is difficult to explain, but the fix is relatively simple.

I'm not sure. It depends when Canon update the SDK to support the new Canon EOS-1DX and 5D Mark III.
