01

A Windows PC

Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit). A touchscreen in landscape orientation is recommended — the interface is designed for 1920×1080 or higher.

02

A supported camera

Canon DSLR / mirrorless cameras connected over USB are supported natively (e.g. EOS series), including two Canon bodies at once for dual-camera frames. A webcam also works for basic capture.

TipMounting the camera vertically? Set Global Rotate to 90° in the CAMERA tab — see the Camera & Printing chapter.

03

A photo printer

Any printer installed in Windows is detected automatically, and you can run a main + secondary printer pair. Dye-sublimation photo printers (4×6") are recommended for events.

05

Run the installer

Double-click the installer and follow the wizard. The app installs per-user and creates a desktop shortcut when finished.

06

First launch

Launch CAPTURES Booth. The kiosk boots into the event screen in fullscreen. Connect your camera via USB and power it on before launching for automatic detection.

Auto-update is built in: when a new version is available the kiosk downloads it in the background and applies it on the next restart. You can toggle this in SYSTEM → Auto Update.
