Development is not coming along as fast as I as hoped - however, I want to reassure you that it is still under active development !

Since last update, I have been out of action for almost two months total, which took away quite some development time. As well as Google releasing Android Jelly Bean. This caused a lot of my other apps needing some updating, as well as DSLR Controller of course. The latter especially has seen over a week of work dedicated to JB bugfixes only. One problem in JB's renderer itself (finally worked-around in next update) took most of that week to track down - I'm still working on getting it to the right people to get this fixed in Android itself as well. That's just one example of one bug ...

And this is intentionally vague because I can't talk about it much yet, but there has been a side-development which caused me to spend quite some time rewriting a large part of the code-base, which might lead to some interesting features down the line (if you look closely at the upcoming release's changelog maybe you can deduce it...)

Of course I have spent time on a lot of fixes and tests to reported problems (thankless work, aside from the people who reported the problem, nobody will probably notice the difference). Further work has focused on (a) file transfer (b) remote control (c) external triggers. I've written basic tests for these, but so far there is nothing I'm happy with. I wouldn't expect either of these three to actually be present in the next update - which should be released within days - though I do intend to release the next update after that in only a few weeks time.

Still, I think many people will be disappointed with the size of the upcoming update, but it cannot be helped. All I can guarantee you is that this app is pretty much never from my mind.

The bramper has moved down on my list, as a number of people have mentioned it wasn't as important as some other features. That being said, I don't actually own a bramper, and I still really want this functionality for exactly the same reason. I'm still not sure how exactly to best implement it, though.

As stated in the app description and several times on DSLRController.com, on older models AF cannot be triggered remotely (unless you also take a picture).

Hdr issue with my 7d

HDR worked well for few days, now when ever I try hdr it says camera not I'm M,AV,Tv or ISO set to auto even though camera is in the modes, sometimes hdr screen shows up but nothing happens on click of go button.

What should I do now. Thanks in advance guys.

EDIT: Uninstalled and re installed and every thing is good now.

Studio Flash

I'm working on a still life photo in my studio and tried to use DSLR remote with my 5DMK2. I can't seem to find a way to delay shutter releases between frames of an HDR bracket. I want to have the camera trigger with about a one or 2 second delay between shots. Is this possible? The delay will give my studio strobes time to recycle. DSLR remote works great if you the image and change all the settings with my nexus 7 an view the raw images.

Thanks,

Dennis

Magic Lantern??

Hello, I have two questions about this, one of them is really silly.

The feature list simply says "video recording". Does this app allow me to start and stop video recording on, say, 550D? What other control over video do I have in this app?

My second question might be a little less silly. Will this work if I have Magic Lantern installed? Am I limited to Canon's firmware? What are my options/best option?

Bestest regards.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] [[ Cold ]]:
Chainfire, is there a way to trigger the shot from a sony smartwatch?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
It will indeed allow you to start and stop video recording, also on the 550D. The controls that remain depends on your camera. On some cameras you can adjust aperture, shutter speed, ISO etc even while shooting, or you can use R-MF mode to pull focus, etc.

As for Magic Lantern, it is not known to be a problem. The app doesn't support any ML specific features, but AFAIK it shouldn't be a problem to have it installed.

Not at the moment, no :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PantechBurstOwner:
Will this work with any and all DSLR cameras?

Also sorry for going off topic but could you shoot me a PM i need to ask you a few questions, nothing about tech support.

Thanks,

-Daniel
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Everything depends on the camera. While there are some model-specific quirks, it's pretty much the camera telling the app what it can and cannot do. The app then provides you with the means to do whatever it is that is possible to do :)

And of course, only Canon EOS DSLRs are supported.

As for a PM, you can always send me one, and depending on what it is, I might reply. I get hundreds of messages a day, so I do pick which ones I do and don't answer.

New Update

New updated for Nexus 7 Tablets has the buttons bigger than normal, focusing buttons and everything taking space for the Live View :(

¿Any option to select what type of layout do you prefer?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tornadolf:
Hi, Chainfire, a quick question. I looked through the thread and I understand why external flashes aren't triggered. But if the remote release can do it may be it's possible to incorporate this functionality into the controller as well. I know that I can do it from DPP, but it'd much rather use a smaller device.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] teryret:
In the planned features list it mentions dumping pictures to the Android device. Fantastic, I would just like to add that it would be nice (and incredibly easy) to incorporate the Dropbox* API, so that images could be dumped directly into the cloud, with an option to retain a local copy or remove it once the cloud has it.

* (or similar service, I'm not too picky, I just happen to favor Dropbox because it runs on Linux)

I don't know how much work it would be, I'd love to be able to consume the remote control functionality (also from the list of planned features) via SL4A in addition to other devices, that way I could edit the automation scripts directly on the tablet if I don't have a laptop handy.

All things considered, this looks like an amazing app! And as soon as my OTG adapter arrives I plan to buy a copy ASAP. Can't wait for 1.0!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
The old layout was way too small, very many complaints. Maybe the new one is a little too big ? I'll look at maybe a compromise between the two.

Does the external flash trigger if you turn liveview off ? (top-left button)

If so, have you disabled silent mode in liveview settings and does it still not work ?

Dropbox support is definitely being considered, as it seems (have not really confirmed) they have a proper API outside of the share button functionality, which in itself is problematic for DSLR Controller due to Android's architecture (long story)

Scripting has taken a back seat for the time being.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Falipene:
This is the only screenshot I have from the old layout:

And this is the new one:

For a Smartphone new layout works great, but with a 7" tablet or 10", it's too big :(

I think the most common issue with layout would be the little buttons for select your shutter speed.

I think I have to upgrade my old 450D, too many features and Live View not working great for old fast lenses with mount adapters. (Too dark), I have to put the camera on "p mode" and then back to manual.

Feature request caching the recent pictures, without re-downloading them each time for the camera (RAW). And Full screen preview of the raw on gallery mode!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I already said I would modify it, and in my development build I already did. It's about halfway between old and new size. As for smartphone or 10" tablets - those don't even use the same layout files... On 10" the buttons are bigger, yes, but I vastly prefer them that way.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tornadolf:
Thanks, got it!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Falipene:
Amazing with new cameras

Having fun with a friend who has a 550D.

550D with Yashica 50mm 1.4 C/Y

With 550D focusing adjust buttons disappear (manual lense)

With 450D the buttons for focusing waste to much live view.

With 550D the app truly shines!

Thanks for your work, TEST shot.

Nikon! Yes Please! And don't forget D3100

I see that you may be the only developer of this kind of software that considers writing for my device - a rooted Nook Color. So this may be jumping the gun a bit, but when you get around to adding a Nikon version of your software, please don't forget to support the lower end cameras like the D3100. It seems that those of us that can't shell out for a pro body get no love!

My goal is to eventually use my Nook entirely as a support device for my photography habit, and this would be THE major component. And when you get to that point and need some pre-release testing, I would gladly help out. And if it's better than the stuff out there now, it's probably sellable at more than $8 a copy.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] knoxploration:
I wouldn't get your hopes up. I've been around since day two of this thread, and while it's clearly a great app for Canon shooters, there's not even the start of progress for any other platform over 13 months later.

That's understandable and no knock against DSLR Controller; Canon has the most users, and so that's where the money is. I'm no longer holding my breath for any other brand, though...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Lack of time, and lack of equipment. And even then, due to the complexity of DSLR Controller, I would probably have to build a second app completely. It is still on my list to do though, but Nikon has dropped a bit in priority, due to their newer models supporting browser based remote control already ... the target market shrinks daily.

redirecting live view to a v4l2loopback

Hi,

Is it possible to redirect the live view to a v4l2loopback and use the new "camera" as input for Skype / Google talk ?

Thanks,

I know this isn't the thread for it, but last posting bout this was back in December of 2011. We know you're busy, and can't answer all emails. Will we ever get it back? Some of us did pay for chainfire specifically for CFLUMEN. Just looking for some info as to what's up?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
You're right, this isn't the right thread. As is stated in many places (including CF3D's app description) it is only for Froyo and Gingerbread, and not fully compatible with HC/ICS (not at all compatible with JB, even). Also, as has been stated in many places, the entire Android renderer has been thrown around first in HC/ICS and then again in JB. It is unlikely for CF3D functionality to even still be possible - and if it is, it would still require me to rebuild the entire application again from scratch. Furthermore, the functionality CF3D is built for is quickly becoming impossible.Emulation of newer graphics cards is becoming impossibly complex - the latest mobile GPUs rival desktop GPU complexity from a few years ago. When CF3D was originally built the GPUs were pretty simple. As CF.lumen depends on these functionalities, as such it will not be fixed. However, if you're using a Samsung device there may be some hope in the form of this app: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1824068. I've been toying with the idea to implement CF.lumen functionalities in it (as it's open source) but at the moment I don't have the time to do it.

Momo8 compatibility?

I have posted this in the Remote Release support thread, but there is no activity there and this thread seems quite active.

I have bought a Momo8 Bird tablet (sorry I can't post a link, but if you google GTR Momo8 you will find the spec). I have the OTG cable, and have no problem connecting and mounting a USB flash drive.

Remote Release will not 'see' my Canon 7D when I connect it.

I have run USB Host Diagnostics using the flash drive and the camera and get the following:

Android API

Claim Support: No

Classes Found: Yes

Device Detected: No

Rooted API

Claim Support: Yes

Device Detected: Yes

Kernel

Claim Support: Yes

Device Detected: Yes

Verdict

OS Support: Yes

3rd Party App: Rooted

I have used USB Host Controller version 0.44 which tells me:

S3C Host Driver NOT found

Root hub present, USB Host Mode is active.

Under Connected USB devices

8176:0bda

Realtek 802.11n WLAN Adapter

319a:04a9

Canon Inc. Canon Digital Camera

When I connect the camera, I get no pop-up. I start the Remote Release app manually, but always get the message 'Could not find a compatible camera'.

I am hoping to buy the full DSLR Controller app as it sounds great. I was using Remote Release to test for compatibility.

Please help!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gadgetfl:
Sounds like it may be power related. Not all devices can supply enough power to the USB port. I have this same issue when I try to use my Bionic. To make it work, I use a Y-cable and a USB External battery pack . You may want to test it with a Y-Cable and plug the extra power end into a Laptop or USB Charger to see if it works. If it does, I have successfully tested my Bionic with a Very small 600mAh USB battery. You can get one at Walmart or such. If it does not work, take it back. For actual use, I have a much bigger battery. The Y-cable is a regular old

Hi

Firstly great app :)

Since the latest update on my Nexus 7, when viewing the exposure screen the save and close button is disappearing off the bottom of the screen, I would post a screen shot but I am not allowed yet.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] slandash:
Damn, that really sucks...

I own a D7000 and a D90 and am really starting to envy Canon because of all the 3rd party support (Apps like this, Magic lantern, ect)... But sadly I have way too much invested in gear to ever considering change.

I have been keeping an eye on this program for over a year now and have been checking the forums at least weekly ever since you mentioned back in February that you had planned to start on Nikon support (but couldn't at that stage). Needless to say if Nikon support/a Nikon version was announced, I would buy it on day 1 (and i know I'm certainly not alone here)

So please don't forget about us, Nikon still has the 2nd largest market share after Canon and we certainly don't have the level of 3rd party support that Canon users enjoy... So it would be really nice to have an awesome app like yours.

This other app ML controller can see the camera but only When using native kernel driver. It doesn't work using the android API

This thread describes the other app perhaps you could talk to the developer?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
No, you should talk to your tablet manufacturer. Native kernel driver (DSLR Controller actually does have one as well, which is used for various devices) is in absolutely no way supported, nor should it be. It's an ugly hack for broken firmwares. Your tablet's firmware is broken. Talk to the manufacturer.

How are you guys having success with stock plus root Sprint sgs3 and Canon 550d?

This is twice I have tried this app with no success. Being I refunded once on the last version thru Google, disallowing me to refund again thru Google. At 8$, I want to support the developer, and use the app; having it not function correctly I can't keep it. So I would like help before I ask for refund.

The app detects my camera, but freezes when it starts up, and kicks up my camera until I unplug. A lot of unresponsive attempts to get this working. I can not.

I have a tmobile gs3 and t2i. The app loads properly about half the time. It will automatically load and my camera shows busy, but it doesn't connect. The application often becomes unresponsive and I have to force close it. My guess is there are some bugs with the gs3 that need to be sorted out.

I am on cm10 so that MAY be part of my problem. Will try on stock.

Do you think HTC knows we already have these devices unlocked. Lol

[HTC EVO 3D] tjlawson09:
I'm glad that some companys have listened to the community. We asked for them to give us unlocked bootloaders t and they are ACTUALLY delivering. Of course it voids the warranty I'm not suprised at all. Stops *****ing bout it cuz they could've NOT unlocked them and than everything would be the same. Change is good in my opinion.

[HTC EVO 3D] CyanCrayon:
Definitely will. We'll have less people coming over to this forum and whining at us because we won't hold their hand through the entire rooting process (although there has been enough of that already anyways), and more time for expansion ROM cooking.

And +1 to easily being able to fool anyone into thinking our warranty isn't void.
[HTC EVO 3D] joshmoulton:
Lets be honest here, anyone on this forum would never use the MFW anyways, we are all here for one reason and one reason only. To get the most out of our phones and exploit their capabilities. You technically void your warranty with any other root anyways, so what's the difference? We are all taking a risk at doing anything with our phones in the first place. I can't say I blame HTC for taking their stand. They will give you the unlock, but you have to be willing to put your feet in the water too.
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
I just think it's funny. During the flame wars there were multiple people saying "htc would not release something that voids warranty."
[HTC EVO 3D] itc518:
I saw this posted yesterday, but ever since I started rooting phones with my Hero a year and a half ago I always knew it technically voided the warranty. It is easy to switch back to stock and I have never had them even check when I returned a phone in the past.
[HTC EVO 3D] Philosophy757:
Glad that they are going to release it. Not suprised that it voids the warranty. No different than putting mods on your car.....

I'm losing faith in the quality of HTC's dependability. They even drop your warranty if you transfer your evo to another line on your account. That's retarded because you're still the user of the device.
[HTC EVO 3D] athlet1c:
I can see it now. You unroot your phone to take it in for repair, and Sprint pulls out the story. Our system detected it was rooted, and we cannot replace it..Same procedure they use when they state, you have water, or physical damage. It gives them the outlet to send you to the Asurion, I can see the confusion now...

Yeah we should not complain because it is truly a trade-off and it is an imperfect world. You gain some you lose some.

Question is, with Revolutionary approach, I wonder if they bypass whatever checks from HTC official unlock so that when you go back to stock, it's still given no signs that you unlocked the bootloader????

HTC Def failed on this one..unless they.come across all the serial numbers we happily exchanged for root with the revolutionary tool.
