We have to make 3d scan system using Canon eos 600 d. So we want to capture a photo at 30~60 fps. Normally capture can't be more 3.7 fps. So using live view in EDSDK, can I capture a photo by 30~60 fps?

A Canon cameras live view has 30fps and a substantially smaller resolution than the photo resolution (actual resolution depends on camera model). If the live view resolution is enough for you, there is still a problem with the transfer rate of USB 2. In my experience you won't get more than 20-25 fps at best. If your camera supports USB 3 you might be able to get better results.

I think you will be better off using something that is more specialized for this kind of thing.

  • @LetUsLoveJust I have written a tutorial in C# but it should be relatively easy to apply things to other C-based languages: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/688276/Canon-EDSDK-Tutorial-in-Csharp – Johannes Bildstein Nov 22 '17 at 14:44
