DSLR Controller supports most Canon EOS models released in Q3 2006 or later. It is specifically designed for models released in Q3 2008 or later. The older models use VxWorks, while the newer ones use DryOS. VxWorks models may not support some functionality such as auto-focus and continuous shooting. The cameras themselves may be able to do it - it just cannot be done remotely. If you have a Canon EOS newer than listed here, it is likely to just work.

On some of the VxWorks models, you may need to enable liveview in the camera's settings before being able to use liveview with DSLR Controller. The setting is usually located somewhere under C.Fn configuration. Even with that setting enabled, some models still only support liveview in A-DEP, M, Av, Tv and P modes.
