This is just a quick update so you know how I'm doing. I looked into the Canon Shutter app, that app however is only compatible with newer models and not my camera so that was a bust. I then googled around and found the app DSLR CONTROLLER BETA from google play which i downloaded onto my mums samsung tablet. This app actually looks amazing. It basically sends the image (what you're seeing in the lens) to the tablet so you can see it larger and you can zoom and move around the change the aperture, shutter speed, iso, etc all on the tablet. You can also take photos on the tablet. This would have been great for my purposes because I can change all the camera settings without actually touching the camera, and therefore not moving it. I was able to test out the camera because I wasn't able to connect the two. I found out I can connect them with a female to female usb connector, so I went online and purchased one of those, simply because there was no physical retailers who sold them, and that came overnight - so quick and amazing! I got it in the mail, I was so happy. I connected it all yay I thought! I loaded the app while watching tutorials videos and my camera is not detected! I was bummed. I restarted everything, and I was so psyched I finally got everything. Didn't work again. I went to the apps website and read the faqs and apparently my camera isn't compatible with the app (it's not even that old!! like 3 years!). So I can't use that app. 

So now I have had to source out another way to take photos without touching the camera. I tried some program camera utility or canon utility or something like that, but it didn't work as I needed the cd and my cd port jams so I didn't want to risk it. I now have a friend who is coming to my birthday on saturday (woo I'm 24 on sat) and he has a physical shutter clicker thing that he is going to lend me! I hope this works! 

If anyone wants to use this program, the DSLR CONTROLLER APP, it seems really promising. I'm sad I wasn't able to use it. It costs $7.99. I suggest learning from my mistakes and checking that your camera is compatible because paying for it (I'm getting a refund anyway) and if you need a female to female usb I brought mine from a lady in WA, she shipped it like 2 hours after I brought it and it was about $3. 

If you are interested in this program below is a link to a youtube video I was referring to. The guy is quite good.
