Nothing, if you work on jailbroken devices only :). The complete development system from Apple is free, BTW!

The size of the market is less relevant. All these numbers of installed Android systems and market shares couldn't be more irrelevant for apps like DSLR Controller. What good is a Kindle for Chainfires user base? The quality of the markets is the interessting point. And in the photography business iOS is much stronger than Android. I guess there's hardly a serious photographer without an iPad. The only really usefull app for remote shooting with WiFi-Cards is running on iOS only (Shuttersnitch). And finally look at 'CamRanger'. Using the same $30 hardware (TP-Link Router) to connect wireless, they ask basically 10x the price for their system, just because it's the only solution for iOS that comes near to DSLR Controller.

On the other hand, a jailbreak-only app loses probably 99 percent (and more) of iPad users. Apple users generally don't jailbreak anymore, they rather stay up to date with their OS version. And Apple ist clever enough to use that behaviour. So the only successful way is to go official with DSLR Controller and place it in the appstore. It has to lose it's 'eternitity beta-stadium' too. Then it could cost 50$ and still would blow the $300+ CamRanger off the market. I would buy it right away for $50 - no beta though :D.

As always, just my 2 cents ...

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]: I'm terribly sorry, I never had the chance to try out the 2m Lindy cable - never forgot it though :). But from many feedbacks in 'my' German forum, where we have an own DSLR Controller thread, I know that people still have all kind of 'cable troubles' depending on the device and Android version. Some of them also use all lengths of the Lindy cable and still have more or less problems. It seems to have different reasons and the Lindy improves things, but doesn't eliminate them all. I personally solved all issues with the TP-Link Router :).

Canon do not mind and will not stop accessories/apps developer to integrate with their camera, provided the developers do not modified their license software. There are other many major hardware manufacture, that develop control cables for 1DX, they are just not as useful or friendly as the DSLR Controller.:good: I understand it wil not pay for the developer to rent a 1DC to test for the app development. This is why I am offering free help here, if our friendly developer here want to further improve the DSLR Controller app. :highfive:

As mentioned before the DSLR controller fully support 1DX and it partially(80%+) support 1DC as well ( on those mode that it is sharing with the 1DX).

Seems like that the DSLR controller apps need to confirm the mode the camera is in before it can send command to start video recording.:( If the app can ignore this check totally or just add the additional video modes in the next update.:victory:

Need help setting up MR3040 Wireless Remote

I’m having problems setting up wireless monitoring using a TP-Link MR3040 with a Canon DSLR and Nexus 7 (2012).

I followed the instructions carefully but couldn’t get either a Canon 5D or 600D to connect to the Nexus. The new ‘DSLRController’ network was found and my Nexus connected to it, but could not find a compatible camera. Swapping cables didn’t help.

The other problem I have (which may be related, but I just don’t know enough about comms) is that the default IP address for the DSLRController network (192.168.1.1) is the same as my Cisco cable modem/router. So to access the OpenWRT interface on my TP-Link from my Mac I have to disconnect my network cable.

So I have some questions:

1. I think I set up the ‘DSLRController’ firmware on my TP-Link MR3040 wirelessly. Could that explain my problems? I did download the correct ‘DSLRController’ firmware for my version of the MR3040 (Ver. 2.3).

2. In case it's an installation error, can I reinstall the ‘DSLRController’ firmware from the current state of the TP-Link?

3. Can I safely change the IP Address of the DSLRController network on the TP-Link from 192.168.1.1 to some other address that doesn't clash with my Cisco cable modem/router?

4. If I do change the ‘DSLRController’ IP address will that prevent it working with the Nexus 7, or will the Nexus 7 still connect to the new IP Address?

5. In case I have to begin all over again, can anyone point me to a tutorial on how to revert to TP-Link MR3040 original firmware?

6. Does anyone have any other suggestions about what to do to get DSLR Controller to work wirelessly with this combo? Most people on the forum seem to have had no problems setting it up and it seems to work well.

Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] prboon:
hi, yes you can safly change the network settings of the TPlink without causing an issue with DSLR controller app working with your nexus 7, i have edited my TPlink so that when connected via network cable or wifi to home router the home router acts as a gateway/bridge to the internet for anything connected to the wifi network on the TPlink an added bonus of this is that anything android devices connected to the wifi home router can also see the camera connected via usb on the tplink router. so can be used in studio to extend the range/distance between the camera/tplink and device running DSLR Controller

hope this helps you
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pipkato:
Thank you very much prboon.

I went ahead and changed the IP address of my TP-Link. I chose 'Save and Apply' and I got a spinning wheel which never stopped. But when I restarted the TP Link MR3040 it had accepted the new address and I could log into it. Unfortunately it didn't solve my problem.

Then I decided to try a third cable just in case it was a cable issue. And, amazingly, it worked ... on both Canons. So one of my brand new cables seems to have been faulty, and for some reason another one didn't work either, possibly a length issue. Anyway, I can finally use DSLR Controller wirelessly and I'm really pleased.

Thank you again for your helpful reply.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] prboon:
also use the cable that came with you canon 600d to connect to the tplink, i have 600d, nexus 7 and tplink and all works fine here. i will try and help further if you continue to have issues.

Image rotation in DSLR Controller

I am very impressed with DSLR Controller and am using it via WiFi connection with my Canon 6D and 70D. Very well done and seems pretty solid so far! For the record I'm using it with a Toshiba Thrive tablet. I also plug a large 30" HDMI monitor mounted on the wall into the tablet. It's not practical to rotate this...

I have looked through the posts here and found a few references to the fact that images that are shot in portrait mode are shown sideways on the tablet. I have not been able to find a way to get the portrait images to be upright. This is a fatal flaw for me since my models usually stand upright and 90% of the images I shoot are portrait mode.

I know that what I'm asking for is not difficult since Lightroom handles this perfectly. The orientation info is obviously in the .JPG file.

I have tried all the Image rotation options in the Canon menus, but the image is always sideways on the tablet.

Am I missing a setting somewhere?

I REALLY love this app, but I REALLY need the rotation to work!

kindle Fire 2

Need Help with a Kindle Fire 2! i've searched and read every page of this forum and others trying to find a solution to this with no luck.

What I have is a Kindle Fire 2 running CyanogenMod 11 Android 4.4 using the 2.2 Tp-link MR3040 (set on AP mode) with correct firmware flashed but everytime I run DSLR controller app I get the "Could not find a compatible camera on either Wi-Fi or USB" Yet when tested with my Galaxy S3 running CM11 4.4 as well, it works great.

Side note the TP-Link ip address is set differently then my home router. Again this wireless setup works with my Galaxy S3 just not with the Kindle Fire 2 running the same software.

Any advice or ideas would really be appreciate!

Thanks in advance for any help.

I am continuing to use DSLR Controller on my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 running Android KitKat 4.4 and discovering new things:

1 - When I connect my camera to the tablet only sometimes does DSLR Controller start up automatically as it should when it detects my camera, but most of the time the tablet asks me if I want to use this device (referring to my camera) with the Android Gallery app instead. And then I have to say no to that request from Gallery and then after that I have to manually start DSLR Controller myself.

I never used to have this issue on my older Samsung tablet running Jellybean 4.2. The older tablet would open DSLR Controller automatically every time without any problem and it never tried to open the Gallery app instead. Am I perhaps doing something wrong causing it to try to open up Gallery instead of DSLR Controller? I would like to disable the tablet's association between the camera and the Gallery app, but I am not sure how to do that. I never set the tablet to associate the camera with Gallery so it seems this is some sort of default association perhaps within KitKat?

2 - I noticed that if I shoot by triggering the shutter from the camera, and not from the tablet, then the image does not appear on the tablet preview screen in DSLR Controller at all. The only way to have the preview image show up on the tablet in real time after I take a shot is to trigger the shutter using DSLR Controller's own shutter release capture button. I don't think it worked this way on my older tablet though, but I can't quite remember.

I don't have the old tablet anymore so unfortunately I can't do a test on it, but I believe on the old tablet, even if I triggered the shutter from the camera, that the preview image would still appear on the tablet anyway in real time.

Is there perhaps a setting I forgot to make when I installed DSLR Controller on the new tablet in order to get this working?

Cheers to all...

Unable to connect to MR3040 from my Galaxy S4

My Galaxy S4 cannot connect to the MR3040 anymore.

It connects, gets an ip-adres, then the message "checking quality of your internet connection" and then disconnects. The text "Internet not available" is below the DSLRController Wifi entry.

I'm mainly using my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 on the MR3040 and that works fine while doing photography work.

I've removed the DSLRController wifi-entry on the S4 en reconnected entering the password. No succes.

What can be the reason for this not connecting on my S4?

The only thing that I found was that it works if I put the phone in flight mode.

Using S4 as tethered gateway with MR3040

Currently I switch my Galaxy Note 10.1 from using it with the MR3040 connected to the camera, and after downloading images I switch to the tethered Galaxy S4 to send them to an internet server.

I've tried changing the MR3040 network settings to match the phone's thethered network settings but cannot get the tablet to acces the internet when connected to the MR3040.

Has anyone figured out how to do it right?

I have a Canon Rebel T4i (650D) with the stock EF-S 18-135mm lens. I tried following the guide, but for some reason holding either of the bottom focus buttons doesn't seem to do anything. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if one my settings could be incorrect?

Great news everybody! DSLR Controller works with Android x86 project.

http://www.android-x86.org/

I have a live USB drive of Android x86 - 4.4 version loaded in on my HP Mini 110-1131DX Tord Boonjie. Android x86 even recognized it all standard. Might be some issues with other apps and Google Services (Werent working right. Going to take a look at it) however DSLR Controller worked perfect right away.

Needs some more testing to see capabilities but for the purposes of DSLR Controller works great. Going to try wifi tethering using my Atrix 2 and see if that works as well.

Hi,

i have just purchased this app.

I use it on an Huawei Media Pad 7 (not "lite"). Everything runs great so far but as soon as i hit record ( on either the app or the camera) while having peaking enabled, the app freezes completely.

I've tried all available Performance modes or Framerates but nothing changed. All other Image filters work without problems but peaking, the most importat one for me, doesn't.

Any ideas?

Got it working....

on my Tab 3 8 inch running (4.2.2) together with my T4i ( the website said it was not verified on any of the tab 3's). It, as expected, worked fine with my Galaxy S3.

I'm still struggling somewhat with the wireless using the TP3040. Tethered directly, both the GS3 and Tablet work great. Going wireless with the TP3040, sometimes it "discovers" the camera; sometimes not. At this point, I'm not sure why but noticed that when it does connect, the activity lights on the little 3040 unit get pretty active before hand.

I'll keep playing with it and maybe figure out why it's somewhat hit or miss. If anyone has any insight, I'd, love to hear it. In any event with the experience of just a couple of days, I must say the app is very impressive and I'm enjoying the great new functionality.

Nexus 7 700D live view issue

Hi Guys,

First and foremost, what an excellent piece of software, great work.

I'm running into an issue using DSLR controller on a Nexus 7 connected to a 700D.

Both are apparently fully compatible according to the devices list.

When connected to the camera liveview doesn't function, the screen is just black. I wouldn't normally be concerned but liveview is essential when focusing during astro photography.

I have tested the cable and phone on a 60D with no issues.

Any ideas on what I can try to fix this? Should this be recorded as a known problem?

Regards,

Bill
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Yes. It really is BETA in name only, because USB support is so flaky on Android. I can never guarantee it'll work ...

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you get a black screen on the tablet? Or on the camera? The former would be cause for worry, the latter is normal - though pressing the livescreen button on the camera itself should resolve that. DSLR Controller turns the camera LCD off by default to save camera power, as you're most likely looking at the tablet anyway.

700D Nexus 5

Sorry Chainfire, I've had a another check to confirm.

Other than confusing the Nexus devices (I'm actually using a Nexus 5) I've also confused the problem.

The Actua issie is I can see 'liveview' on the nexus screen, but i cannot zoom this view like I can on the 60D between 5x and 10x.

the zoom button does not look like a normal button (it is flat as opposed to 'sticking' out).

All my camera C.fn are default and the zoom function still works from the camera when not using DSLR controller.

Sorry for the crappy original post!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Is the zoom level on the camera 5x-10x? I've heard of some xxD models have 3x-10x instead of 5x-10x, this may be a cause for that problem.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Billygoat86:
700D Nexus 5 liveview zoom

Yep, three options available on the camera are 1x 5x and 10x.

Using DSLR controller on the Nexus 5 the button is unpressable and at '1x'.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Which liveview autofocus mode are you using? Which options are listed? Live, Quick, :) ? At least one of these modes disables zoom.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Billygoat86:
Ahh mate, you are bang on.

Thanks for that,

Hopefully no one else is as silly as me.

Face detection mode

In my experience, there is always someone sillier than yourself around somewhere ;)

Thing is, these cameras are complex machines with a lot of settings and options, and a lot of people are in way over their heads. A very large share of 'bug reports' and 'issues' that get emailed to me are people not knowing their cameras half as well as they think they do. That's fine though - you learn over time and use... As long as they're not shouting at me or one-star'ing the app because of their own mistakes, which is unfortunately all too common.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Deadbeef:
Chainfire, could you please include an option to use the C1-C3 functions from the dail to the app. So it will be possible to quick change settings with one press.

Also if someone could post an instruction on how to use the app with a tablet and a phone and the mr3040 where thw phone is used for 4g tether and the tablet fot the app. One network with the camera and Internet access at the same time.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Are you not able to use C1-C3 from the dial? Which model is this? What happens exactly?

I think the only way this is possible is if one device has 4g and (the same device) is connected to the the camera using USB - not Wi-Fi.

Question:

An issue I have right now is shooting a 22.3MP CR2 with a file size of around 24MB is pretty rough when doing image review. The CamRanger's seem to be almost instant and maybe they just send over a low-res file, I'm not sure. Is there some way to configure this or my cam (RAW + small JPG or something) so that I can get quick feedback on the shot I just took? I have a CF and SD card slot both and shoot with both cards if that helps...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Well, it certainly isn't sending over a 22.3MP CR2 'almost instant'. Indeed setting the camera to RAW + JPG (whichever size you want) will make the app fetch the JPG for display, not the CR2.

Note that even if you only have RAW setup, the app actually displays the embedded JPG in the RAW (yes, there is one) that is much lower resolution generally than the real JPG... so I always recommend RAW+JPG mode.

Not working with Canon EOS T3 and Galaxy S2

Hello. I am trying to connect my Canon Rebel T3 to my Galaxy S2 (running 4.0.4) using (from the camera) micro hmdi to usb, then On-The_Go usb (female) to mirco usb (to the phone). According to the compatibility listed on the application's website, DSLR Controller should be connecting to the camera, however it cannot find it. The camera's HDMI controller setting is turned on, and I do not believe there is a wifi mode which could be hindering it. Is there some setting I am overlooking? My friend suggested the GS2 needs a specific driver in order to 'talk' to the camera, however in searching i have found nothing.

Thanks, love the app (if i can get it to work)

UPDATE:

Upon further investigation, I have concluded that the OTG cable amazon sold me isn't really an OTG cable, just an adaptor with some misleading advertising. I thought maybe I was having the same problem as jet2706 (OTG Troubleshooter supposedly only works for Nexus, but there are plenty) at the top of this page, however Samsung devices all have OTG ready, and at my cable's failure to even power a flash drive, I can only assume this is a waste of wires. Will update again when new cable arrives and it works.

Use the USB port on the camera, not the HDMI port ...

I think were thinking of the same port, probably just mistranslation on my end. I am using the USB plug for my camera (as it has the little symbol), but I had been told by someone else that that was micro HDMI (I guess there are three different types, A B and C?).

Looked it up. It is not HDMI and now I feel dumb. Thanks for clarifying though.
