OK then on topic and specific to DSLR controller.

Saving on device will be available when DLSR controller reach release and is on the to do list for DSLSR controller since early development.

I have also a suggestion and that is when the saving on device is implemented that renaming the files and setting the IPTC data is part of the implementation of saving files to the device.

Then something of topic again.

I also noticed that DSLR controller is getting competition from the camera makers self. Nikon is implementing a web-browser with basic camera control in their camera.

Do not work

Hi,

I've read many post about issues with the SGSII / OTG / USB-Host... 2.3.4.. etc, but i don't know where it is today, is it solved or not. (i do not speak of DSLR Controller of course)

So i ran your USB Host Diagnostic (screenshot attached)

So it seems that i've not any Android API... is there a solution for this problem ?

Thanks,
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] msatter:
I see that you are on 2.3.6 and is your device rooted?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Honusnap:
Yep... CheckRom 4 and SiyahKernel 2.6.7
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] msatter:
I have put ICS (LPB IML74K) again on my SGS2 and DSLR controller did not see the camera.

However after running USB Host Diagnostics, DLSR controller worked with the camera until I reconnected the OTG cable to the device. I had to run USB Host Diagnostics again to activate support for the camera again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nex-s:
Hi guys, sorry if mentioned before, but I couldn't really find definite answers in the thread. So I have a couple of questions.

First, does this work on HTC Sensation?

Second, is the fps too low to use it as a video capturing screen? If its 14fps or whatever was mentioned in the video, then it's too slow.

Third, do I specifically need an USB adapter in case it works on HTC? Can't I just get a straight USB micro male to USB mini male cable and that's it?

Also, one thing I was wondering of pointing out. The micro usb on HTC, for example, is capable of transferring HD video. Wouldn't it be possible to connect the DSLR through the mini HDMI output to a phones micro USB just to simply use it as a Live View screen so you don't need to by a seperate bigger screen for video capturing for your camera? Connecting them wouldn't be a problem, cause there are mini hdmi male to micro usb cables, but is the software/hardware capable of doing that? Maybe thats a thing developers could think about. Instead of seeing a phone as a full remote controller, I rather see it as a larger screen with larger resolution to replace the one on the camera. Would love if that was possible.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hxdrummerxc:
I get my usb host cable tomorrow. Pretty excited.

The one thing that I cannot wait for, is the ability to save photos to the phone.

It would be great for a backup and you could also upload pictures to the internet, or to a personal website to clear up room for more pics. (In the event that you are running out of storage).

I would love this feature, as I'm going on a vacation in a couple months, and I no longer have a working laptop (just a desktop) to take along to dump cards every night like I usually do.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
In follow-shot mode, the image is actually transferred, just not saved. It does not prevent you from shooting, but if you shoot really fast, it will become a problem. It'll be complicated.

Regarding screen timeout, there's a reason the screen stays on in follow mode.... I have not just tried this, but I believe you can still turn off the screen simply by pressing the power button.

I had heard about that. It'll be a while before this is common though, and I doubt all models will get this, only the high-end. Furthermore, the way I hear they do this, it will not be smooth liveview :)

USB Host Diagnostic allowing you to fix the camera detection is actually a side-effect. The LPB USB host support is not completely operational. It's been a week or so since I played with it, but I could get all sorts of USB devices work/not work at will, it depends on the order how you connect things, if I recall correctly. This is a firmware bug, I hope is fixed in next version, as it worked perfectly on KH4.

To the best of my knowledge it does not work on the HTC Sensation. DSLR Controller is not as fast or precise as a real HDMI monitor. It is not, and it will never be. However, with most cameras and high end Android device, during video recording is switched to a special mode that can reach 30fps liveview.

If you have anything else than a full-size USB port you will need a special cable/adapter. Just having the correct connectors on each end does not work, the adapter is a special cable.

Regarding micro-usb/hdmi/mhl/etc/etc: no, this is not possible.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] daveid:
Sorry, I don't want the screen to timeout, just go blank.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] msatter:
I don't think liveview will be a problem, certainly camera makers will discover that their camera can encode video which is playable in a web browser.

Others like DSLR camera Remote and Remote Your Cam are doing it however they still need a server-client setup. The server will be in the the camera in the future.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Eventually yes, but this will be a while yet, I expect.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nex-s:
Aaah, damn. Really hoped to get a different answer. How is the adapter a special cable? Is there something else than just wires connected so both ends work correctly?

Is there a specific reason why it doesn't work on Sensation? Maybe it would work when the ICS update comes out or with a custom ROM?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I suggest you Google it.

The device does not support USB host. It is not impossible a custom kernel or ICS upgrade will make it compatible. I wouldn't give it good odds though.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TheZuneLune:
Did some more field testing today with un-updated Beta from the market. The only problems I had was with the app periodically freezing up and needing to restart it. I only used manual focus, though.

Shooting today, I concur about extended bracketing (more than 3 exposures), that would be a killer function. Also wondered if it is possible for the app to rotate when the camera is moved to shoot in portrait?

I am also looking forward to the intravalometer features.

BTW - you made Engadget!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arrtoodeetoo:
Man, it feels like forever since I've been to XDA. All work and no play these days.

Anyways, I just tried the app out and it's a no go for me. I have a Rebel XTI, which is quite old. I should have read the reviews before I downloaded it because it seems like someone else had the exact same camera and exact same problem.

This camera is an EOS DSLR, but it doesn't have a live display like the newer cameras, so the screen was black, but I was able to control a few things with the side menus (the ones that weren't grayed out, that is). All of the data showed up just fine, but clicking the camera shutter button gave me a "Failed to Capture" toast.

So, maybe it should be noted that only DSLRs with live displays on the actual camera are compatible. Or is this something the app can actually handle in some future update?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] OJ in Compton:
Anyone know if a Rebel t1i/500D will work with this? It does have liveview, but someone mentioned that some models have gimped usb functionality?

Also, is there any chance a nexus one with usb host will work with this? I can understand if the cpu is too slow for liveview, but it'd be an interesting replacement for a remote along with a touch interface.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ANNDECRIST:
I love where this app is going ... I tried it on my Asus Transformer tablet with the standard camera-supplied USB off the dock. With the Canon 550 (T2i) every control worked flawlessly and the camera was very quick to focus. I could access all the buttons to control aperture, ISO, picture style, exposure comp, etc etc and they all worked wonderfully -- I can see the effect in real-time on the screen. Love the +5 and +10 display. I have the eyefi card that sent the pictures immediately to my gallery.

I did not have as much success with the Canon 5D Mark II. Here I could access all the buttons but if I tried to change anything: ISO, white balance ... the button would press, but no result. Focus was intermittent and I had to manually focus most often.

This is going to be a wonderful product once it's released. Keep up the good work!

When in doubt about whether it works with a Canon EOS450D and SonyEricsson XPERIA 2.3.3 NEO nobody answers, so let this application for now. I only asked.

Playing with my Canon EOS XS and it has Live view and the App sees the live View.

I Also Discovered today i was able to use the "manual" Focus, but Auto Focus would not work.

But thats all that works at the moment. I really hope older model EOS's can have more support.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tby0:
I did a few searches here and on google but haven't found a 'solid' answer. It looks like the EVO 4G does have host support but I can't find the proper cable. Seems like any on ebay are for other phones. Or do I just need a micro usb (for camera) to USB-female to plug a USB into the phone?

Also - I went to grab the app on the marketplace on my PC. It says it is not compatible with my device (Sprint HTC PC36100 - aka EVO4g). Am I just SOL at the moment?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] OJ in Compton:
Your phone does not have USB Host support, so it will not work.

Will support be added for Pentax DSLRs ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gwclark:
Wish list

I am a photographer, not a developer. This app has the potential to replace a tool such as the Promote Camera controller. I am a new user, and cannot post the link to promotesystems dot com. I would gladly pay 30-50 dollars for an app that could duplicate the functions of the promote.

Intervalometer: Take x images every x seconds for x amount of time.

HDR: Take x number of images, stepping by x value of EV. Select whether stepping ISO, Aperture or Shutter Speed for EV shift

Focus Stacking: Set minimum focus to x, set maximum focus to x, set focus step size to small/med/large, take x number of frames.

The ability to combine HDR and focus stacking.

Thanks for considering...

What does USB Host mode entail? I can plug in mice and other input devices into my tablet and they work fine.

Perhaps with some details I could encourage the ROM developers to implement support (if it's not there already) so as to take advantage of this awesome app.

USB Host isn't exclusive to 3.1 is it?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wahlis:
This is really great, thanks a lot!

Unfortunately I have some issues. I have an Acer Iconia and a Eos 40d. I get live view and buttons, but I can't control them. But since you are still in beta I hope you will be able to fix that in an upcoming release.

Short answer: Maybe. At least three people have shown interest in Pentax support now, not including the dev's own family member.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] darkshift:
Excellent!

Hi, joined this forum after reading about this software. Im a photographer besides some other things. I think 5-6 euros for this kind of app is peanuts to anybody who takes photography seriously.

Can't wait to use it with my Galaxy S2. Waiting now for the cable and official firmware update ;)

Screenshots seems very nice to me. No fancy looking graphics or icons, but a well thought layout instead.

I wish video control and timer functions would be completed soon.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ryusen:
USB Host means that it will act like a PC when you plug other devices into it. It will accept things like flash and hard drives. I dont' think it was supported in Android till 3.1, but some makers made their own hacks previously (Asus and Archos are two i can think of).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bahaha:
I'm very interested in what you find out about the EVO. I'd love to use this app but it'll probably be a while before I get a new phone or a tablet.

Ok. Last question, otherwise you'll find me annoying. What if a device had a micro hdmi port? Say Asus Transformer Prime has one and there are phones that also have one. Is it possible to use those as a screen on your DSRL via mini HDMI to micro HDMI cable?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
That's not even theoretically possible on any phone or tablet I currently know of.

Got it.

Now I'm just hoping ICS update will enable USB hosting on HTC Sensation.

In case it does, would this kind of cable work instead of the big full size USB lump in the middle from connecting 2 seperate cables? (sorry, I had to paste the link in several parts parts, cause I'm not allowed to post outside links due to not having enough posts on forums)

With Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 60D, Video is working, however I am frequently having the App freeze up on me forcing me to reset the tablet by holding down the power key for 10 seconds. I have not noticed it doing it out side of video mode so I think it is mostly within the video function of the app. Please let me know if this is a known issue by now and if it isnt, how I can get an error report for you.

Thanks Chainfire.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Most hanging/freezing can be attributed to less than perfect cabling, though the 60D is reported pretty often... When you say it only happens in video mode, do you mean while recording? Or also while not recording?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] daveid:
I have discovered an interesting bug.. I just acquired a mount that allows me to attach my tablet to my camera's base. Doing so, I went to shoot in portrait mode, only to find the image upside down on the display. This is with the tablet and camera both positioned normally in landscape. Here are some quick images to show what I mean... can this be corrected? Please take note of the volume buttons on the tablet indicating that the top is indeed at the top.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zpeverman:
It has primarily been DURING recording. But with you mentioning the cable issue that could be causing it that may be where the problem is coming from. I have been using the app mostly as a preview monitor for clients to view while I am shooting and also when the camera is on a 10ft Jib. That being said, I have been connecting it with a 10ft USB extension cable in addition to the 3ft normal USB cable, adding an additional connection in the middle, which may be causing the issue.

Do you think that if I were to get a longer USB cable that when from the camera to the tablet with no additional connections that may solve my problem?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
With some mucking about, rotating the tablet, etc, you should be able to get Android to rotate it the other way around I would think... Android can be tricky like that. Or is this a major problem because the tablet is attached to the mount and you would switch horizontal / vertical often ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] daveid:
Thanks for the quick reply, I had a second to think about this, and I was hasty to call it a bug. The orientation would be perfect, if the tablet were facing me. So... I shoot mostly in portrait, except for group shots (when on a shoot). Is there a way to implement a further menu selection when entering follow-mode (the only time this is going to matter), for front-facing vs. rear-facing (which is the normal expected orientation of the device)? In front-facing mode, it would simply rotate the image 180degrees in portrait mode, so it is properly oriented. For me, follow-mode is for the client, and not the photographer, so I just assumed that it would work how I expected (hehe). Now, I understand that this is all developed around the photographer, and had the tablet been facing the rear of the camera (and me), it would have oriented properly.

And for the last part of your response, yes this would be a problem as the tablet would be hard-mounted to the camera and rotation is tied into the camera (flipping it over is near impossible when a flash is mounted). So, I think an option inside of DSLR controller would be my best bet, and really just doubling the choices in the follow-mode submenu would do it by naming the current modes as "Rear-Facing Full-Screen" & "Rear-Facing Info" and the new ones "Front-Facing Full-Screen" & "Front-Facing Info". I guess a little notation would be good for the general public that states this is the direction the Android device is facing in regards to the camera... so no one gets confused.. Anyway, let me know if this is possible.

Also, I had responded to a previous answer of yours regarding the screen going blank in follow-mode, I was not looking for it to time-out or lock. Only for the screen to just go black after a specified interval, only to come back when I take the next photo. This would prevent the device from locking (which would suck, as I intend to place some plexiglas in front of the tablet to protect the screen - rendering the touchscreen useless) yet save power (maybe only a little), and allow me to approach the next subject with a blank slate...

Thanks for everything, if you can get the rotation working right, that is my biggest hurdle right now... you are making my banging ass Halloween costume a possibility (I am going to be a mobile photobooth).

---------------------------

Since their still isn't a way to save the files to the phone, I found a temp way around it. Use a usb card reader, after you take the pics, put your cameras memory card into the card reader and hook it to your phone. Copy the photos to your phone from the card reader. Then you can plug a flash driver or external driver into your phone and copy the files to that.....

Talk about backup on the go without the need of a laptop!! :D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] andrewilley:
That sounds good, and your suggestion of adding IPTC data automatically would be handy too - both in terms of simple predefined fields which you can edit in advance, but also location-based (using GPS if available) fields.

In the meantime, if there is a way to easily copy photos from my Canon 7D directly to my Galaxy Tab 10.1 via the USB host cable, I'd love to know how. I assumed (naively!) that using this cable the camera could function as a USB drive and let me copy photos manually (like I do with the PC) but that seems not to be the case... over the weekend I had to copy a load of photos to my laptop first, and then over to the tablet, which seemed daft.
