Guests see themselves posing live on screen in the live view.

The first screen above has the normal (3:2) aspect ratio live view image, and the second a square live view. You can also make the live view fill the screen or remove it completely.

The first 5 boxes highlighted in green below tell the Wizard whether you are using a touchscreen, whether you want guests to be able to choose between color and B&W photos, whether to display a preview of each photo after it is taken, and whether to create a slideshow GIF from your photos.
Then you are asked whether to display a print confirmation screen and the maximum number of prints allowed, or have a digital booth which does not print.
Digital booth users should check Digital only and uncheck Display print confirmation screen

Hints
The inactivity timeout is useful for booths not in constant use. When the booth is idle the live view display is shut down and the booth put into standby mode. Disabling live view lets the camera’s sensor to cool down to avoid possible overheating problems, and saves energy. The booth starts up straight away when the screen is touched.
To use the inactivity timeout, just set the number of seconds after which you want to put the booth into standby.
Select Use Default Settings to restore the default settings for the wizard.

Next takes you to the third and final step (unless you chose only GIFs or video, in which case you skip Step 3).
The wizard offers a choice of 8 popular print layouts. If you want something different choose whichever is closest to your design (you will be able to change this using the Print Layout Editor later).
Running a GIF booth with animated GIFs and no printing is increasingly popular. The DSLR Remote Pro Wizard does not ask you to select a printer when you offer only Boomerang GIFs or Video.
