Pro version includes Helicon Remote, which support both of your cameras and designed to take stacks for Helicon Focus. As I understand, you need more information how to use Helicon Remote? Please check the help file that is located at the bottom of Helicon Remote (or menu\Help). The workflow section describes how to use the program. Let us know if it is clear enough.

Thank you Stas for your answer! My english is very poor and I have to fight...
Yes my problem is, I can´t open or get the Remote screen, I´m all the time in the stacking screen and can´t start to shoot individual focusing pictures. I know, it is surely very simle, but, may be, I´m blind or blocked in the moment...

You can start Helicon Remote from the Helicon Focus toolbar or from "Helicon Focus menu\File\Helicon Remote"

You had an old version of Helicon Focus (4.80) which did not include Helicon Remote.
