G2Remote v1.1a includes an interface to allow other programs to communicate with it when it is running. This allows the shutter to be released, the lens to be zoomed and the shutter and aperture to be set. This opens up many exciting possibilities including: using the camera as a webcam, more flexible time lapse sequences including zooming the lens during the sequence, automatic bracketing of shots by adjusting the shutter or aperture, wildlife shots triggered by externally interfaced motion sensors or beams of light etc.
 
The library comes in the form of a DLL which can be used by applications written in almost any programming language. Also included is an example program with full source written in VC++. The example program is included as an executable and can be run directly from the command line to run the camera as a webcam or adjust the shutter speed, aperture and zoom settings and trigger the shutter.
