Having done such a project for a windows PC, I know a little bit of the pain it is to work with those problems, inaccurate or non-existing documentation, very few information available, you basically have to find everything by yourself, like mapping a cave in the dark. A very interesting cave indeed, but that doesn't make it easier. I think nobody here understands the huge leap forward the work of Chainfire represents and how hard it is to make all the different parts of this program work as well as it already does in the first beta.

I understand the frustration of the people with an incompatible setup (as i know how lucky I am to have a compatible one), but there's no place here for anger nor hatred.

Chainfire did and still does an amazing work here, and he still listen and answer to this thread, which is very time consuming (I barely can keep up reading all of it). When somebody does something you don't fully grasp, be supportive, inquisitive, but please, not rude, as it serves no purpose.

Thank you Chainfire.

@rlrbjr

Just curious, but was this via USB or HDMI?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rlrbjr:
As I stated it was via HDMI. I don't have any way to test USB output -- at least not until Chainfire adds video support:)

I suspect that the output over USB will mirror the HDMI output. With only a single Digic IV processor the camera doesn't have many CPU cycles available for format conversion, so I think that's a pretty reasonable assumption.

As far as I know the 7D is the only Canon camera that outputs HD during video recording. It has dual Digic IV processors and has the additional power to both record video and output HD video.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Also, the 7D sends normal liveview data in recording mode, that already works (ie liveview while recording), in contrast to the 550D which sends some weird format (probably due to lack of processing power in the 550D), and the 5D mk II does not even seem able to record while in liveview mode at all.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I just released v0.60 on Market. The update focuses on stability, performance, compatibility, and bugfixes. Changes include:

- Optimized memory use

- LiveView performance improvements

- USB transfer speed improvements

- (Communication) Error handling improvements

- Slight adjustments to user interface

- More command codes handled

- Changed focus display and state (blue for move, white for area, red for fail, green for focus)

- Improved grid display

- Added focus points in Quick focus mode

- Redone UI state control

- Fixed (one of the ?) freeze issues

- Remote manual focus function adjusted

Some things have rigorously changed. Let me know how it works for you all !

I guess it's not yet 450D ready?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Nope, I should have a 400D to play with early next week, but it doesn't have liveview. I hope to support the 40D, 400D, 450D and 1000D by the end of next week, but no guarantees, of course.

Who knows, it may even work with some Powershot and IXUS models then.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Aymara:
And how do you get a preview image then into your app? Mirror lockup? Mmh, maybe my old 20D would work then too? There's a Windows software, that support's the 20D, so maybe it works with your app too.

That would be great ... I have a G12 too ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I don't think there will be any preview image, but hopefully it will allow me to figure out the issue why option display and selection is not working on these models :) (as the liveview itself does apparently already work)

I'd be more happy (and it would be easier) if I could borrow a 40D, 450D, or 1000D from somebody, but alas I do not know anyone with one of these.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Aymara:
Are you a member of the dpreview.com forums? I bet, you would find better assistance there ... I'm not 100% shure, but I think chances are good to find someone from the Netherlands. Or is there a photo forum in NL like Fotocommunity.de in Germany?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bretac:
The 5DMII is a bit strange with LiveView recording. In the menu, you need to change the purpose that LiveView serves. If it's set to picture only, there is not video recording functionality. If you set it to video recording, you use the Set button to begin recording. I'll have a 5DMII in front of me in a few hours, and I can tell you the exact settings and test the USB LiveView resolution while recording.

Sorry about that. I missed that portion in your original post.

@Chainfire - i've the same in ver 0.5.

but I just do update to ver 0.6 and movie recording is disabled at all (no matter what type of LV is set) - everytime I got BUSSY on my canon 5dmII

I belive that you can do it :))) (I mean LV for movie recording). OLED of SG2 is much better (and cheaper) than 7-10" external LCD with HDMI input... so I'm waiting for your next update :)))

-most options dont promp for input(change iso, f stop, etc)

-touch focus looks like it starts to work now (says focusing) but freezes and app locks up, force closes.

keep up the good work!

Hello, sorry if this is the wrong place, but I was curious in the DSLR Controller app and want to try to get it working with my camera. I am testing it first with the remote release app. I am able to get the app to recognize my camera, which is a Cannon PowerShot SX20 IS, which I know is an unsupported point and shoot, but figured it would work since it is DryOS based (Maybe I'm completely wrong). When I press the shutter button it says "capture failed!" I think this is due to the fact that my camera forces preview mode and doesn't want to take photos with the USB connected.

Anyone know of some workarounds?

If this isn't something that would be covered in this thread, I apologize and would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.

Cannot find compatible camera

I bought this app, and am very excited to use it. The problem is that when ever I connect my device to my Canon Rebel T3 the DSLR Controller tells me that it cannot find a compatible camera. The camera id on the list of compatible devices on the website, and it is ON when I open the app. Does anyone know how I can fix this because, again, I'm very excited to try this app. Thanks.

Hi, is there a plan of adding support for Nikon cameras in the future¿ I would really profit from this kind of app but I'm not a Canon guy.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chompy18:
Hello!

I have purchased the app way back and used it a lot! Definitely one of the best apps I purchased!

In the app, I saw a bramping option but it's not implemented yet.

Is there a known time frame for it's implementation?

Will it also support 'holy grail' day-to-night and night-to-day auto bramping timelapses?

Alternately, is there a possibility to add exposure control and histogram to the timelapse screen?

Thanks,

Sefi
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
The issue with bulb ramping is that automatic bulb capture as done with a shutter control can't be done over USB, because the minimum bulb time when using a USB cable is about a second. I've not really figured an ideal way to get around this. Coupled with that I am not a bramping expert and it takes weeks to test sunset shooting (unfortunately there is only one per day). Doing it by varying shutterspeed, aperture, and ISO will not provide as smooth exposure ramping is properly used bulb ramping.

Allowing live adjustments to the timelapse screen is also something I have been thinking about. It can't be done with quick timelapse times though, for daytime shooting it'll require something like a 6-second interval at the least.

Droid Maxx support?

Hi, I searched the forums and diddnt see any mention of anyone using the Droid Maxx from Verizon. I use this wonderful software on a Nexus 7 usually, but just picked up the Droid Maxx. All functions seem to work except the live view (on the phone) disappears after taking a shot. If I switch to a different mode on the camera it reappears. Any suggestions? Thanks.

restore the firmware and the use of two devices simultaneously.

Good afternoon.

I have 2 questions:

1) I installed the firmware tp link mr3040. Everything works and it is fine, but it took me back to his native firmware tp link mr3040 to use it for its intended purpose. I can not find where to return the original firmware. I downloaded the original firmware tp link site, but how to install it on the tp link mr3040 I ​​can not understand. Tell me how to do it.

2) I have 2 devices (ipad and samsung Noute2) individually they work fine, but I need them to work together: ipad I use right near the camera and watch the image, and my assistant on Note2 adjusts shooting settings. How to do it?

Thanks a lot for adding the option to change exposure during the timelapse!!

And you also added the last capture preview to boot!

You rock :)

One thing though - is it possible to also add histogram for the last capture? It'll allow for better manual exposure ramping.

It's no biggie and it's great as it is now, it's just that histogram will make it that much better :)

Thanks a lot man!

DSLR Controller password

From time to time DSLR Controller app disconnects from the modem. In order to connect it back I have to enter the password again. It is very inconvenient to enter a pretty long password on Samsung Galaxy S3. I was not able to find the way to make my phone to remember the password. I tried to find the way to make the password shorter. It is not real security if all copies have the same password (dslrcontroller), so why to bother ourselve with the long password?

I was not able to find any info about the change or eliminate the password.

Please help.

Thank you.

Freezes after connecting via wifi to canon 6D

After establishing a wifi connection to my Canon 6D in smartphone mode, DSLR Controller 0.99.5 freezes with a few icons displayed. This happens on both my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 w/ Android 4.2.2 and Sony Xperia Miro ST32a w/ Android 4.0.4. The Canon EOS remote app works on both devices.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mattdb:
Mine does the exact same thing. I got it to work by putting my phone into hotspot mode and connecting the camera to it. That worked. Never would work in the reverse.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I wonder if you guys have the feature enabled that automatically disconnects from Wi-Fi that doesn't have a proper internet connection (which would be the case for the camera). I know some firmwares have this enabled by default.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Instead of forgetting the network and re-entering, try turning your Wi-Fi off, counting to 10, and turning it on again. Not sure what the issue is but I've seen this happen sometimes, and then it works again. It's something with the MR3040, I think.

Either way, the MR3040 has a full configuration interface, so you can change/disable the password if you want to.

My reason for putting in a password (even though users know it) is that the protocol used by these cameras has some serious holes, and malware running anywhere on the network can delete all your images, or worse, fully brick your camera. Yes, that is possible!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chapran:
Thank you very much. Unfortunately I did not find the way to configure the MR3040 so far. I will try again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Turn on the MR3040, connect your computer/laptop/tablet/whatever to the network, and visit this page:

Management interface address: http://192.168.1.1/

Management interface username: root

Management interface password: dslrcontroller

DSLRGalery for viewing raw images?

Hi,

I'm an active user of DSLRController, and I find many features extremely useful, icluding the possibility of draft reviewing the images on my tablet.

What I could not figure out if it is possible to view the images that I shoot with the camera, but did not download to the tablet directly with DSLRController?

I am in a situation where I could only copy the downloaded cr2 files from my laptop to the tablet, but after putting the files to the proper folder, DSLRGalery simply doesn't see them.

It would be a big help for me if you could tell me the trick how to open these files with the viewer -if it is possible at all...

Thanks a lot!

NewBe to start ....

Hi,

I own an iPad and a CamRanger but like to start with DSLR Controller to have an alternative to the iOS solution. And I would like to compare both solutions on my blog.

As I would need to start from scratch with Android and don't want to spend a lot of money for an Android tablet I'm looking for a nice tablet with a cost of max. 120 EUR.

Today I found two advertisements in our local newspaper offering the following

ASUS HD7-ME173X 7" QuadCore 1.2GHz, 8GB

HP 8 1401 8" QuadCore Cortex A7, 16 GB

I don't know if these devices would work with DSLR Controller?

I couldn't find these at the table of supported devices at the DSLR Controller webpage. Any suggestions and hints how to find a nice Android tablet that would be compatible? Any resources to get a new be started?

Many thanks.

Cheers

Yogie
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Besmirched:
I can only speak about the Asus HD7 173x. I have one of those tablets and it is lacking a USB host controller. This means you can't tether a usb cable with the tablet and camera. However, I am hoping by adding a tp-link mr3040 pocket router (waiting for the postman to deliver) I will be able to control my camera wirelessly with the HD7. I believe if you have a new camera like a 70D you should be able to wirelessly connect without the purchase of an additional pocket router.

Native support for RAW files will arrive in the next version of Android (Google L) however if you look in the play store and search on CR2 then you find several APP's to display them.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dudeeg:
Thanks!

Actually, the other apps do not convert the raw, but display the embedded jpg image - at least that's what I've read. And this embedded jpg could be quite limited (although I am not aware of the quality and resolution of the embedded jpg file).

There is one app which is recommended on many forums, but the development of this app is stopped, quote:

"I've halted work on Rawdroid. As of Android 4.4.2 Google disabled sdcard support for third party apps. "

I hope that this change in android version will not cause in the future a problem for DSLRController...

I'm looking forward for native raw file support.

Thanks!

Since the latest release I've been having a few intermittent issues when the app starts up. Sometimes the live image doesn't show up on my phone, just the buttons on the border of what would be the image. Also, I'm getting more authentication errors, but I've found that simply toggling wifi off and on again will connect me to the network. I'm a huge fan of this app and use it regularly... but this weekend at a music festival I found myself really struggling to get it to work reliably which makes me a little concerned about using it in 2 weeks for a gig that is my biggest and busiest one each year - the Newport Folk Festival where I'm their stage photographer. Any clues as to why I'm having issues, and is it possible to download a previous version (assuming it's the software and not my phone - Samsung Galaxy S4 running Hyperdrive rom - that's the issue)?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
The viewer is not meant to open files it didn't transfer itself. Also, it actually also displays the embedded JPG instead of the real CR2 data. The resolution of the JPG is 1/4th of the resolution of the CR2.

Using RAW+L will give you higher resolution images for reviewing using DSLR Controller, as the full resolution JPG will be used instead of the 1/4th resolution embedded JPG from the CR2. The L JPG will also generally be much smaller to transfer than the CR2, which speeds up use, especially when using Wi-Fi.

Note that JPG decoding is done by the hardware, I expect decoding the actual CR2 data is annoyingly slow (though maybe on modern devices not so annoying as two years ago)

I haven't seen any other reports like this. Can't comment on your ROM though. There's a setting somewhere that auto-disconnects from Wi-Fi networks if it doesn't provide an internet connection (which your camera doesn't), make sure that feature isn't enabled.

On tablets running KitKat with the latest v0.99.5, the default directory where it saves captures to the external SD Card is a very deeply rooted and hard to find directory. Would it be possible to change this on the next release so the user can choose the directory where captures are saved on the SD Card? Cheers.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Yes, this is configurable from the options (cogwheel) menu. Scroll way down.

No - this is the only directly KitKat will allow writing to, on the external SD card. New security thing.

Thanks ChainFire. By the way, is there a way to shoot using the shutter release from the camera itself and have someone else hold the tablet while you are shooting and still see the image previews show on the screen in real time in DSLR Controller. Perhaps I don't have it setup correctly, but when I try to do this it doesn't work. The only way the person holding the tablet seems to be able to see the images when I am shooting them is to load a group of previews after I have taken the shot, but these doesn't seem to be a way for them to see the shots in real time as I am shooting. Cheers. Marc
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
This is exactly what the "Image review - Follow shot" option is for in the (cogwheel) menu. It'll let you review images on the camera, and if you have the newest image selected, every time you shoot a new one (using the shutter button on the camera) it will be loaded and shown on the tablet.

MR3040 Version discrepancy

I hope someone has seen this before, but I have not found any results for my Google queries. I just purchased a MR3040 from a local store. The box showed that it was version 2.2. When I got home, I checked the version located on the barcode behind the battery. It also showed HW version 2.2. Here is where it gets weird. Once in the web page for the MR3040 it shows that it is HW version 1.0.

I went ahead and flashed the V1 DSLR Controller firmware and it loaded fine. Everything looked like I was going to be using it very shortly. Nope, would not recognize that the camera was connected. I went ahead and re-flashed the original firmware so that I can return it to the store. Any thoughts before I return the MR3040? It also has the two switches, but the cover does seem like it has been scratched up a bit. I was wondering if someone swapped the guts and returned it to the store. ???????????????:confused:

Is this possible as I couldnt seem to get it out of live view.
