Eagerly awaiting my USB OTG cable after trying so hard to get a normal micro usb to mini usb cable to work.. lol

Side note just wanna say you're godlike for making this and that i dont normally like to pay for apps.. but this..is just too epic not too.

Also being android exclusive is fun! :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Indeed this is a VxWorks issue (old cam)

It shows pictures you take. Just use the camera and take pictures - every time you do, the app downloads and displays the image, until you take another picture. Requested feature. The idea is that somebody else is looking at the tablet while you are shooting pictures with the camera.

The file isn't saved, memory only. Not sure about the swipe thing. I guess that is a matter of preference, personally I like having the pinch-to-zoom and pan-follow-finger. I'll see about how I can fix both in one image.... maybe swipe only when completely zoomed out ?

Ok...

Again, this is a VxWorks issue (old cam)

Hurrah!

It's somewhere on the to-do list... Would you really use that often though? I've set my camera to RAW+L when I first unpacked it, and have never actually changed this setting...

Nice. But keep in mind, while the older (VxWorks) cams work, they are by no means a high priority for me to support. That already starts because I do not actually have regular access to a VxWorks model, so I cannot properly and regularly test it.

Only Market... sadly Market can take a while to notice there is an update (48 hours isn't weird)

Ask yourself... If USB host and dual core were NOT needed, why would I limit my potential market ? Because I don't like single core users ? It's not available for the SGS because it doesn't work. Period. Maybe after an update to Android 4.0, but that is just guesswork at this time.

Thanks :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ian00:
Thanks again for your replies Chainfire, I know you tried to develop for as many models as you could. I was mainly asking what usb host is, or if you knew why would it be so resource intensive just to have the drivers on the SGS, or was there other reasons why they weren't made available for the SGS.

For now, I'm using the application PhotoIRmote, which is a basic application for releasing the camera by infrared. But I am worried because the developer is working on a wired usb version, and I'm not sure if the application would work with my phone, or if the developer will find a way of making it work without usb host.

this AP is the reason I chose android over ios and after this update so glad I did. Two things..

Is it possible to get liveview while recording video on a 5dII? Works great on 7d but not 5d.

Is it possible to get a "recording" light so I can monitor if video is rolling when not directly behind camera?

Thanks so much for the AP. I have used it on several shoots already and art directors love it!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] msatter:
I am pleased with the progress

Thanks Chainfire for this new beta and I have more function available than with the 0.66 version.

I had twice the luck to be able to activate the live-view and I had to manually tweak live-view on the camera. I could zoom on screen and after a few seconds the application locked-up.

I can't reproduce the situation to activate it again so I think it is a random success. I tried with and without LiveView mode at startup.

With automatic zoom enabled on the lens is still a no starter for DSLR Controler.

Pictures taken I only can see directly in the new "Image review - follow shot".

Well I don't know much about business, but I am surprised because I would think that you would want to know about what your competitors are doing, in order to make your product better.

I'm also surprised at the lack of help you seem to want to give to a potential buyer. I realize the software and hardware requirements, but I would think you would want to be more helpful in trying to find me a way of getting your product. Whether its helping to find a way of hacking my phone to work with it, or finding a place that I can find a cheap S2, so maybe I would switch carriers, or helping to find another Verizon phone that would work, or anything to help me out... But, maybe I don't know anything about business, and the customer is always wrong...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
No, Samsung has removed the functionality from the KI ROMs. There is nothing I can do about that.

But that's not how you phrased it - you phrased it as questions to help a competing product.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
v0.72 released

Just released v0.72, which should fix some exceptions and significantly reduces memory use during file transfer between the camera and the Android device (image review).

This hopefully fixes a number of out-of-memory issues (as user you just see a crash, not specifically that it ran out of memory), especially if you shoot in RAW only mode.

FYI: I'll be mostly offline for the next 10 days, but please keep commenting, requesting features, and reporting bugs :) My own list is long already, but there's always room for more.

450D zoom rectangle

Hi Chainfire, thanks again for this great product!

I'm using it in a samsung galaxy tab 10.1 with a 450D. Just updated to 0.72 and keep having same issue. I can't change the zoom rectangle position through the app. I've tried everything I can think about (tap on the rectangle border, long tap,...). Each time I want to zoom to another area I have to switch everything down, move the rectangle in the camera and load the app again.

Is this a known bug? am I doing anything wrong?

Thanks!

Image Review setting (camera), wireless flash trigger

Hi Chainfire,

realy a nice piece of software you've created!

I have two issues:

1. Image Review Setting

Each time I hooked up the camera (550D) to my tablet and used DSLR Controller the setting for Image Review on my camera is set to "off" after disconnecting. Not a big thing but a little anoying.

2. Wireless remote flash trigger

Using a flash on my camera is working fine. When shooting from DSLR Controller the flash fires as expected. When using my remote trigger (Yongnuo RF-603C) the LEDs on the triggers blink but the flash doesn't fire...

Any idea?

Regards

Problems w .72 Beta

Canon 5DM2 w Toshiba Thrive

I'm afraid I'm having more freezes and crashes than with the 0.66 Beta, although .72 fixed some problems I had w .70.

With Live View on - I cannot seem to change the ISO, nor the Aperture. In fact I can't seem to change the Aperture with any mode at all.

I'm assuming that tapping/swiping the Aperture Value should bring up a way to change it.

Also, when it freezes, which it does way too often, the camera is locked up and shutting it down with power switch, even after disconnection from tablet does not help. You have to remove the battery to get the camera top display turned off and the mirror released from lockup.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ajrogers111:
I think he was saying that the live view IS working, but there isn't an indicator on the tablet's screen to let him know for sure... I tried my 7d with live view for video last night and I was so excited that it worked (and worked well) that I didn't notice if there was an indicator... I'll try it tonight to see... I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all of your work on this... Now I just have to get my butt in gear to finish my DIY flycam and add a mount for my G-slate... :-)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dan Tong:
ajrogers111 is mostly correct.

Live View works. It is clear that Live Mode is ON -that is not the problem. I cannot change the ISO!! or Aperture

I'm afraid I cannot say it more clearly.

I can change ISO when NOT in Live View MODE. But I cannot EVER change Aperture.

Also what is the function of the Transport icon displays at the top (play, stop, go left, go right) which come up in some modes?

Anyone else who purchased this NOT seeing the update in the Market?

The app says Open / Uninstall but no upgrade option...anyone?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zpeverman:
Tab 10.1 and 550d

Just wanted to report that I have not ran in to any issues with the new update. Live View Video recording works perfect, no significant lag. Actually I believe it works smoother than the EOS Utility that came with the camera.

The Overlays for 4:3 and 16:9 are great. However, it would be nice if whatever overlay you are using would stay on every time you start up the app. Basically like a default overlay. Since some people, for surely me will be primary using the app as a preview monitor for video shoots, I think that would be a nice little feature.

A while back I suggested an idea of implementing a slider control in addition to the manual focus controls. I understand that there is a minimum increment that the focus can be changed at, however, I think using the smallest manual step and turning it into a slider control would work perfect. This feature would be very powerful for controlling Rack Focus shots. It would basically be an alternative to a follow focus rig. Is there anyone else out there that would use a feature like this? Give your thoughts on the usefulness of something like this.

All in all, the progress made has been great. Keep up the good work. You are truly developing a game changing app. Thanks for everything.

EDIT: I had a couple freeze ups after recording a shot. the preview worked fine but as soon as I stopped recording, the image froze on the tablet and the app was unresponsive. Only happened a couple times, but it required a fill shutdown of the camera and the app, even after force closing, did not want to work until it popped up a error saying that the it was unresponsive.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] taaz69:
Oh so close

I have the Sprint Epic 4g Touch. Before the last update, the app would force close. I understood at that time that there were issues that would be corrected at some point.

Now after the latest update, the app launches however, it states I need to connect a compatible camera. I have the 7D.

I went through the troubleshooting section without luck.

I bought the Micro USB Host Cable (OTG Cable) - Xoom, Galaxy S2, Nokia N810 / N900, Toshiba TG01, Archos G9. New Version with more accommodating "L" shaped connector based on previous threads.

Two questions: Was I overly hopeful that the latest update resolved issues with this phone and has anyone else had this issue that may be specific to the Micro Host Cable?

Just wondering as I know this all will be resolved and working at some point. Patience is the order of the day as I know this is a great app.

Thanks!

5D2 and Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet

Hi Chainfire,

Finally managed to get my Lenovo tablet functioning. Tried the current version of the app and it will only intermittently allow the entire left hand button set and ISO/Fstop controls to be accessed.

The right hand bank to trip shutter, allow grid overlay etc. all work fine. Focus works and the camera will take and display the image perfectly.

Can't seem to isolate when the left set work and don't but will have another go later.

Galaxy Note

Extremely excited about the galaxy note! It works with your software it could be the perfect solution for portable and easily view-able camera control. Hopefully somebody in Germany and the Netherlands will get a hold of this and check it out with DSLR controller. It uses gingerbread 2.3 so hopefully Samsung hasn't disabled the USB like the galaxy S2. Engadget has a review of the phone if you haven't seen it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ciddy:
Too bad I waited to try until I upgraded to KI4 on the SGS 2.

May I ask what functionality Samsung has actually removed, as USB host support (storage) is still working (only for FAT32 though as it seems, my NTFS thumb drive gave an error...).

Cause I will write them a customer complaint email, just for the fun of it... ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] svenk:
I don't know what they removed exactly, but the API that allows apps to use the OTG functionality has vanished. Only the OS itself (which apparently does not need that API) still functions with standard peripherals like USB sticks and maybe keyboards/mice.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mops88:
Wonderful app :D

Just took some nice shots of falling leaves in a forest from the ground up, so your app was the only way to see anything through the camera since my EOS 50D has no rotatable screen.

Only pressing the shutter was a bit hard, cause if you hold the cam in your right hand, it's hard to press the shutter button with your left hand. So my question is: would it be possible to put the shutter button someplace where you can press it while holding your device with one hand, or assign one of the volume keys to the shutter?

DSLR controller on MIUI ROM ?

Hello,

Have just purchased the DSLR controller but it fails to install. Market says "Installation Request failed. Please try again later."

I have Galnet MIUI's ROM running with Android 2.3.7. Anyone knows if this works?

Thanks!

UPDATE: Okay, magically it has installed on my phone now, but when I start it, it gives a message "Your device is not compatible with USB Host mode". I haven't yet plugged in my DSLR. Does this give the error or will it not work anyway on my phone/ROM ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mops88:
You don't have to launch it. Just plug in your cam and turn it on.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zahira:
Well, that's the thing. Even when I attach the camera to the phone it gives this same message. Any idea why?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mops88:
Then maybe the MIUI rom does't support USB host because it's an AOSP rom and afaik usb host support was added by samsung, it's no native feature of Gingerbread. Maybe you should try a stock 2.3.4 rom then it should work. Dunno why the app showed up in your Market, but maybe some wrong settings in build.prop..

remote focus pulling

App is working great on Galaxy Tab 10.1/60D!

The lag during recording in video-mode is almost not noticeable. Well done!

Due to the no-lag-video-recording this app would be perfect for remote focus pulling. The controls are already there, you only have to implement the 6 buttos together as some kind of relative, transparent scrollbar for left or right thumb. Adding acceleration you could do fine adjustments or flipping from fore- to background in less than a second. So handling would be just like a computer mouse.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
The problem with the focus adjustment at the moment is that there still appears no way to know the current position or when you have reached min/max distance. Something I'm still working on, and hope to eventually solve.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] orp-adm:
Man, that would be awesome, having a focus distance value.

What I suggested was (i hope) not that complex:

Tap the scrollbar, move your finger up -> move focus a bit to the background

Move your finger down(dont release your finger) -> move focus a bit to the foreground

Release your finger, place it somewhere else on the scrollbar, move figer down -> move focus a bit further to the foreground.

So you do not need to know where the focus is, just how much you need to move it.

The speed you move your finger chooses which of the buttons(<<< << < > >> >>>) is "pressed"(the function executed).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Hmm, like that may actually be possible. I will look into it.

Very nice.. couple of questions

Hi. Thank you very much for the great work you are putting into this app. I've read through most of this thread and realize that USB host capability is required to use this app. I have a T-Mobile GS2 and just installed the following kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19059318#post19059318

I've confirmed that USB host is working by attaching various devices on my end. I excitedly went to the Market to grab your app and am still showing as incompatible. I know that this was wishful thinking as the kernel was just released about 9/10 hours ago.

I am not a developer so these might be dumb questions but:

Does your app check the firmware version or just for the required functionality within that firmware?

Any chance you could take a look at the kernel to see if functionality could be extended to phones where OTG USB hosting is enabled in this fashion?

I realize that patience is key here so I guess the main reason for this post is to give you a heads up on the fact that the ability to add this functionality is starting to show up out there and I would love to get this app up and running! :)

I have a canon 60d, and when I first DLed this app it worked like a charm. Since the October update, the app seems to not register the camera.

When I plug the camera into my transformer, nothing happens. Then I click on the app and the app says, "Could not find a compatible camera. If you have a compatible camera connected, please make sure it's turned on. If it is already turned on, try waking it up by pressing the shutter button."

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] darkshift:
Not the same thing

Hey. You don't really need the USB host support in question to do that. USB devices like MS optical mouse can be used with stock rom by using a correct cable.

However thats _not_ enough for DSLR Controller app to work. It needs the real usb host API to be compatible. AFAIK Android 3.x is needed for that at the moment.
