If live view does not appear smooth and is lagging or choppy in dslrBooth, there are several things you can check.
Check computer specifications
Check that your computer meets our hardware requirements.
Install Latest dslrBooth Update
Install v6.42.0921 or later and see if it resolves the problem.
USB cable and hub
A bad USB cable or USB hub can cause delays in your liveview preview. Try a different USB cable. If you use a USB hub, try to connect your USB cable directly to the computer without the hub to see if the hub is faulty. Try a powered USB hub as unpowered ones might not provide enough power.
Power Mode
Make sure your computer power mode is set to Performance.
Windows 11
To change the power mode, select Start > Settings > System > Power & battery. Set to Performance.
Windows 10
To change the power mode, go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options. Set to Performance.
Display Refresh Rate
Due to a Windows Framework bug, dslrBooth will only display video smoothly when your display settings refresh rates are set to 60Hz or lower.
