Could you let me know exactly what firmware you're running please? I've tried about 8 versions of 4.0.3 on my Aurora and no luck so far... I believe some Elf/Aurora firmwares are compatible.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] opmaroon:
My apologies, I thought that would've been obvious, as in a rough list of those multiple components you mention, and any specific to DSLR controller (every other USB device I've tested works fine). I'm hoping the firmware Twizilla is using will also work for me so it looks like I might not have to do any repackaging anyway, so no worries.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Twizilla:
Hi opmaroon

I updated it using a file I downloaded a few days ago named novo_7_elf_4.0.3_0302.rar from one of the mirrirs on this site:

tabletrepublic.com/forum/novo-7-elf/8-3-2012-official-ics-4-0-3-update-released-just-2-hours-ago-1206.html

since I am a noob & can't have active links you will have to add the "ht...//:"

the tablet is saying it is using kernal 3.0.8

build # 20120302.180049

I hope this helps

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] opmaroon:
Many thanks for this Twiz, much appreciated. I will see about installing this on my Aurora and report back the results, would be great to get this app working on ICS.

Just purchased and downloaded DSLR Controller.

I have a ASUS Transformer Prime running ICS 4.0.3, trying to hook up to Canon EOS 60D. Cable for camera is plugged into usb port on keyboard of the Prime.

When I launch DSLR Controller it says no compatible camera was found.. Checking the website I clearly see both the Transformer Prime and the 60D as being supported.

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers

Just tested 0.90. Indeed the 5xHDR bug seems to be fixed (after 10 iterations it was still fine), but the previous one I documented persists, just as you predicted.

In my testing I just noticed something about Focusing; both with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and the S G Tab 10.1, if I use the on-screen (on DSLRC) focus before entering HDR/AEB mode, that's when I can provoke the "Capturing" hang and subsequent instability, whether I use "Auto-focus: First Shot" or "... None". The lens I'm using is the Canon EF 24-105 L USM, same behaviour whether the Stabiliser is on or not. If however I set the lens to Manual Focus, obviously I can not focus on-screen nor in the HDR capture, but the HANG DOES NOT OCCUR.

Could I be on to something here?

5d mark iii

Hi,

the 5d mark ii is only partially working. shutter release works, also changing of settings (eg. aperture). But there's no live view on the mobile (galaxy nexus) and neither on the camera.

if you need further infos, pls feel free to contact me.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
5D mark III support is already being worked on, hopefully it will be working in a few days!

This is still under investigation... But still, if you point the camera at something easily focusable, does it suddenly work ? I've seen stuff like that happening.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jamullian:
I've not seen this; maybe my subjects are not "easily focusable". In my tests any focusing from the main live view screen causes the HDR routine to hang at "Capturing" (if not the first time in a session than certainly after return to L.V. from HDR). I have however been surprised to see a shot that I deliberately did NOT focus on the live view screen appear focused in the saved HDR images after "Auto-Focus on first shot", even though there does not seem to have been any focusing lag. Go figure.

Image review

I bought the app yesterday and hooked my Asus Transformer Prime up to my Canon EOS 60D. It seems to be working perfectly.

I want to use the image review function where the 'subject' can see the image on the tablet after I've shot him. This is only working when I set the camera to shoot in JPEG. However I am shooting in mRAW and with this setting the picture is not shown on the tablet. Also this does not work when I set it up to shoot both mRAW + jpeg.

Is this something that does not work (yet) or am I missing something as I thought reading about this before in this thread?

Thanks in advance.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
This should work in mRAW+JPG mode... if not, something is wrong! Can you try in normal RAW+JPG mode, see if it works then ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j0ss0r:
Thanks for your reply. I don't have my camera on me right now so I'll test it once I get home. After testing I'll post my findings here.

Request

Hi guys,

I would like to ask you is there any chance to get my request working.

I thought about possibility of assign focus to for example 3 buttons. So if you're recording your planned scene and your main subject is moving from point A to point B you can just click this button to adjust the focus.

I think it would be real killer!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] eboman:
Same for me, i have a qware pro 3 (or MOMO9c) which does not work yet on ICS 4.0.3 (baseband 0.8), it is also a allwinner processor.

today they released a baseband 1.0 version on their site, i might give that one a try over the weekend.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wwjoshdew:
Chainfire, I have a Canon 60D and a Transformer Prime. I bought your app today, and I want to make this clear, I do NOT want a refund. I realize this is beta, and it's pretty freaking sweet!

When I press the red record button, the screen freezes for a second but the little ticker doesn't count down. Pressing it again does nothing, or causes a Force Close. I have to turn the camera off, turn it back on, then quickly press record on the camera. Then the counter starts counting down. I can't stop the recording from my Prime either. Pressing the record button on the 60D won't stop recording. I have to unplug it from the Prime and then it stops. Is there a fix for this? I got a few FC's and I press the report button one time. I can run a logcat in Terminal Emulator if you'd like. Not sure if you're aware of this or not.

Dell Streak, DSC 1.0 "custom" Gingerbread ROM: It works! (also works with Gingerstreak 2.4.4 ROM)

Just in case any other Streak owners don't know this: set the VM Heap to 128 in the build.prop and you need a modified data cable for OTG (search the Streak forum)

Works very well and "snappily" too with my Canon 7D. Haven't tried the 50D yet.

I'm happy - thought I was going to have to wait till upgrade time to get this! :D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Something like this is planned, but it's tricky!

Very strange. Yes, let's make some logcats. Contact me through the http://dslrcontroller.com/contact.php , because you will need a special build of DSLR Controller to make the logcats be meaningful.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] opmaroon:
I just tried the first official 1.0 ICS firmware for the Aurora. Very strange behaviour. It worked fine for a minute, then crashed out and now continually gives me the 'can't find compatible camera' error message. Multiple hard resets on both devices doesn't make any difference.

@chainfire, is there any way to send crash reports?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wwjoshdew:
Not a problem. I'm very comfortable running a logcat command with terminal emulator. I'll message you on there.

I made a video yesterday, using your app! If you're curious, here you go! At the VERY end, I also recommended people buy it! :)

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bluefrog:
OK this may be impossible, but I thought I'd ask just in case:

Would it be possible to have the ability to "shift" the colour balance of the phone's screen output? ie towards yellow or towards blue.

The reason I ask is that I find the colours on my own device's screen are a bit towards blue compared to the camera screen and to my calibrated monitor.

It doesn't stop it being great to use, this is more of a "cherry on the top" kind of request really! :)

Oops my apologies - should have read the thread properly! Just got a bit over excited at it actually working on my Streak.... :D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] j0ss0r:
I have tested it and it works. The first time I tried it the camera was setup to only shoot RAW. Then I changed this on my tranformer prime to shoot both raw and jpeg. Then the function did not work. But when I set up raw + jpeg on my camera and then tested it it worked.

So basically you need to set it up on the camera instead of the transformer prime.

All will be looked at / implemented / fixed. However, I have just received the 5D Mark III, and fixing 5Dm3 compatibility is first on my list right now.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] msatter:
You don't have to apologise because nobody demands that you read the 150 plus pages.

Congrats with your 5D MK3 and I already read it on your twitter that you really like this camera. I will try it when it comes available as a rental. The first and second 5D I did not like and I only rented the MK2 when I had to film. The capabilities to film are better that on the more expensieve 1D MKIV.

Is there already a version of ICS for the Galaxy S2 that works with DSLR Controller?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] daveid:
Sorry, when I plug my camera in I get the choice to open using gallery, which can import.... if your device does not, perhaps it is not a feature of your ROM.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I personally was not a fan of the 5Dm2 either. I have never owned one, but I have borrowed one several times to test on, I've always been annoyed somehow with how the device handled. In the same way, I'm also not that fond of the 50D. The 5Dm3 however is different, from the first moment you pick it up, it just feels a lot more right. And it's capabilities are stellar!

The official ICS release for SGS2 supports DSLR Controller without root. It should be available on KIES.

Only Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich have a gallery that does this. If DSLR Controller is being used on a Gingerbread device, the gallery app will not offer to be opened. Also beware that the galley app (as far as I know) only imports the JPGs.

DSLR Controller works like a charm on XLPS and I now staying on ISC on my Galaxy S2. I use Mobile Odin for updates and KIES does tells me all the time that there is no update for my phone available.

I will try the 5Dm3 next time when I am the camera shop.

Sg2 with 5d mk II - could not find a compatible camera

I am trying to connect my Samsung galaxy II and 5d mk II using the adapter. Each time I try to open the app I get "could not find a compatible camera"

The sgs2 is running ICS LPQ rooted.

I have searched the thread and the app site and was unable to find a solution for my problem. Any help will be aprechiated

If some one can suggest a working ICS build this also be great.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Hmm, maybe they only put this function on tablets? Can't say I've ever tried on the SGS2.

When you connect the camera to the device, it should give you a popup allowing you to select DSLR Controller, you don't usually have to start the app manually.

LPQ should be working. Turn off your camera and disconnect all cables. Now, reconnect the cables between your SGS2 and camera. Make sure the SGS2 screen is on, and turn on the camera. You should now get a popup offering to start DSLR Controller. If you do not get this popup, you have a cable problem.

Just confirming dslr works great on my galaxy note n7000 running aosp lp5 and using my xsi 450D

:)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Just FYI, I have reworked R-MF, and it will include focus pulling / presets in the next update.

It does come with a long list of limitations, but now that I've built it, I can't stop playing with it...

Also, it seems the 5Dm3 is encoding the JPEG stream differently, allowing for much faster decoding. I've attained 30fps liveview on my Galaxy Tab 7.7, so the frame-limiter will become configurable probably the next update (it is currently set to 15fps for JPEG, 30fps for raw video stream - but note newer models like the 7D and 5Dm3 actually use JPEG during video as well)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DJsCrIBbLe:
Good things coming it seems!

Cf are you able to add features for older vxworks or not really?

Auto focus and continuous shooting would be sweet!

When I first bought dslr controller around beta v8x continuous shooting did work I remember playing with that feature a lot. Then it seems to not work anymore in recent versions

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] W-Athos:
Long exposure question

Hopefully I've done the search properly, but I couldn't find the info so hopefully these are new questions.

Can the app trigger exposures longer than 30s?

When doing time-lapse, what's the minimum gap between exposures?

My main interests in the app are in terms of triggering multi-shot brackets beyond the camera's built-in (e.g. 3-shot, max 30s) AEB, and also doing timelapse work with intervals between shots of <1s (the Canon TC-80N3 insists on at least 1s between shots). I'm aware that the Promote product has to use a second (non-USB) cable to trigger the camera's shutter in bulb mode for exposures of >30s, so am concerned this might be an issue with the camera's USB protocol capabilities.

The cameras in question are recent EOS. Mostly 7D, 5DmkII, and 5DmkIII.

I currently have a backup phone which runs Android 2.3.5 (an Alcatel 918D), but I suspect this app is beyond its reach even after rooting. So I'd probably pick up a Novo7 tablet if the app ends up being useful enough.

Thanks for any info on the above two questions!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mermaidkiller:
The new version does not work properly anymore. Hardware: Canon 7d + Samsung Galaxy S2.

After using AF in Liveview mode the LV cannot be switched off anymore. Then taking a photo has a long time lag (several seconds).

Other buttons on the screen don't respond anymore.

I have to exit the app and unplug the USB cable to restore and bring down the mirror.

EDIT: After a bit playing around it worked again also with LV.

Weird.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I have never been able to use continuous shooting on a VxWorks camera, and I've tried on several.

But no, I can't really do much for the older models. It's pretty much as good as it's going to get for those.

Maybe one day, but not any day soon.

You can do a bulb shot with a preset time, i.e. 300000ms (5 minutes), or any other X ms value. Time lapse gap depends on the hardware, though even in the best circumstances I don't think you'll get below a 1.5 second gap in practise.

The Alcatel will not be able to run DSLR Controller, but I hear good things about the Novo 7 Aurora. Haven't personally tried, though.

If this happens again in the future, reboot phone, pull camera battery, make sure cables are attached firmly.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DJsCrIBbLe:
I know you say that it doesn't work but maybe around early v.8 beta I swear on my life it worked on my 450 D . I remember testing dof on my keyboard and using continuous shooting.

Either way if its as good as it gets I guess I have a reason to buy a new camera :)

Timelapse & StandBy

Hi there,

I am thinking about getting this nice app.

However, there is a question looming in my head:

When using timelapse

- is it possible to delay the start of the time lapse (e.g. setup camera in the evening for shooting at sunrise?)

- can the Android device be put on standy-by or at least the screen turned off without interrupting the timelapse process? (would save energy, as my device cannot be charged while camera is plugged in)

I would greatly appreciate a short feedback. Possibly a screenshot of the timelapse setting window?

Thanks a lot,

netscipio
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
There are so many things involved, I could literally write a book about it.

Interesting stuff. I will definitely keep this in mind. As it's a less "complete" solution as Nikon or Canon cameras, it will probably be significantly easier to implement. I started with Canon, which is probably the hardest of the all the brands to work with.

Check your cables, your batteries, and reboot both devices.

If you have the app running, why haven't you simply tried video? Yes, it works.

I don't have a screenshot (new promo stuff is in the works), but see this video (sombody else made this), at the 3:00 minute mark:

[youtube]Djpvr7EPwm8[/youtube]

Having the timelapse start at a certain time is not currently possible. While I understand it would be a great feature to have, it has been low on my to-do list. Why? Because both the Android device as well as the camera need to be powered on during the delay, and actively kept alive. I haven't tested how long they would last, but I doubt both batteries would survive the night. I'm not saying it won't be implemented or that it definitely will not last a night, but due to these concerns it's usefulness is limited and thus there are other things I rather implement before looking at this.

During the timelapse itself, the screen will timeout and go black as it would with normal phone use, but the device CPU will remain awake (no deep sleep).

Okay, well I can confirm that my tablet will accept external USB devices--mice, trackballs, usb sticks, external USB drives. So as far as I can tell it has the support there. I just need a way to install the APK and see if it will play with my camera.

I don't suppose there's a way to donate outside of the market and allow me to sideload the APK instead? Pllllllease? :)
