# RTI Acquire

This program lets you use a digital camera from your computer. It has a
live preview window and a full set of manual controls.

RTIAcquire uses the libgphoto2 library to control the camera, so you must
have this library on your system and your camera must be supported by
libgphoto2. They have a list of [supported models](http://www.gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php).
