So far it kind of focuses all the time in all 3 available modes. Guess I have to really try putting the AF on the shutter to see if it behaves differently.

Canons own software doesn't care about this, I can tap focus without the AF being on the shutter. Maybe it doesn't need to be a problem for DSLR controller too.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
This is in the camera, not the app. If you have an affected camera, Canon's own software is also affected.

To test the same thing in EOS Utility, you need to test both mouse overing as well as clicking the shutter button, as well as tapping the screen to focus in liveview mode. Just because Canon doesn't warn you about it, doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nurps:
With EOS Utility I can focus with the Focus on/off button. On Android I tap to select the the focus area and then tap the focus button of the app. All with AF not on the shutter button.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Well, then I guess your camera isn't affected and you can safely ignore the warning :)

GPS coordinates?

I don't know whether this question / suggestion was already on the forum... But, is it possible to add GPS coordinates using the app? If not, any possibility that it will be ever implemented?

I have had mixed results with DSLR Controller and my 5D Mark IV. Then I saw this detailed post today on a photography blog I follow which talks about the free Canon Camera Connect app being a better Wi-Fi app for this camera at the moment:

wwwDOTmarcschultzDOTcom/blog/wireless-tethered-shooting-canon-dslr

Worth reading if you have a 5D Mark IV
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Confirmed on the shuttercount issues. As for Wi-Fi, which device are you using?

It's been asked all the time, but we'd have to reverse engineer the Canon GPS dongle to know how to do this, which is too difficult (and expensive) to do.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

He's right though on there still being some glaring issues on some devices though. I'm working on them.

If you're seeing these issues, let me know which ones, which device you are using, and which camera mode.

how buy it without an google account ?

Hi people,

I would like buy this apps but I don't use any services of google. My phone is without google apps and I don't have (want) a google account.

I didn't see another way than the google market to buy the apps. But maybe I miss it ?

Thx.

I know this has been asked for before, but now with the release of v1.0 I just want to refresh the request for support of Nikon equipment. I think there are a lot of us who have so much invested in Nikon gear that we'll never switch to Canon, and you open up a new user base.

I know you've had a lot of complaints in the past about pricing - I have been involved in software product management (and thus pricing) for over 25 years (admittedly mostly for b-2-b products). I encourage you to think about how many serious photographers are willing to buy for $7.99 and unwilling to buy for $9.99, or $12.99, or $14.99 (non-serious ones aren't your customers anyway, or you can offer a reduced-function cheap package). The pricing question is where's the inflection point in the curve that sales drop so much you make less. (I know this is obvious stuff). Based on my experience in the software world (as a professional) and photography world (as a semi-pro) I think you're underpricing your product, and maybe this would help justify Nikon support.

Have you ever think about adding Streaming feature for the live view? Like rtsp or similar. So it can be easily accessed by other applications like vlc or obs for example. Actually Im using it streaming the whole screen of the tablet, but its not the most elegant solution. Native rtsp support would be awesome and efficient

Focus Bracketing: The DSLR controller crasht after 3 pictures (5D Mark IV, 5Ds R, 7D Mark II) and other cameras with 2 memory slots.

Workaround: I only work with ONE memory card because focus bracketing works again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] RoadToNever:
[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] Did you have a chance to look at color conversions for live-view? My 600D assumes BT.601 matrix and BT.709 primaries but the phone display has BT.709 matrix and primaries. Because of this reds appear more yellow than they actually are.

[IMG="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-deMojtB-2pA/UHLIrVFvw0I/AAAAAAAAALM/9ndOFFuyAig/s1600/601.709.jpg"]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-deMojtB-2pA/UHLIrVFvw0I/AAAAAAAAALM/9ndOFFuyAig/s1600/601.709.jpg[/IMG]

I did a google search "android bt.601 bt.709" and found an API reference but I'm not sure if it's hard to implement. Any implementation would help a long way though for shot preparation, even if it slows down the preview or caused banding .
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
v1.02 has been released!

This is not currently possible.

I'm still thinking about it.

I've put this on my list to investigate. I doubt this will be seen any day soon though.

This should be solved in the v1.02 update. Let me know if it isn't.

The API you reference doesn't relate in any way to display if the camera's image.

How do you determine which matrix and primaries are used/assumed anyway?

I've read elsewhere the only difference between these is 1% in the green channel. The only thing I could possibly do is apply a color conversion matrix over the final displayed image (new and high-speed Android devices only), but this the precision would be limited.

Focus Bracketing with new 5D Mark IV and Version 1.02:

The 1.02 with two Memory cards crashes same place for 3 images but it counts on the Smartphone exactly the other way around. (eg 8...7...6) There was a CARD error in the camera, the red LED always lit - turning on the camera, also did not help.

Only by removing the battery, the camera started again...:confused:

I was afraid my memory cards....

The 1.02 with a one card (I've removed the SD-Card) makes the focus bracketing I just ONE picture and then stops....

The workaround for the version 1.01 no longer works.

For me that the version 1.02 a deterioration compared to the 1.01. :crying:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Hmm, are you using Wi-Fi or USB for this test?

What type of cards do you have? Brand, type, speed?

Is it possible one of your cards is corrupt? Have you tried re-formatting them? Have you tried with a different set of cards?

Which exact lens have you been using?

Have you tried to increase the "Focus pull step delay" in the options (cogwheel icon, scroll down) ?

It's weird. I was able to recreate your problem on v1.01 on bot the 5D4 and 7D2. With v1.02, entire bracket sequences of 100s of images finish fine. I've tried single cards, dual cards, slow cards, fast cards, etc.

Please note that a CARD error on the camera is completely beyond DSLR Controller's control
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JensLPZ:
Focus bracketing:

The error occurs only with the 5D Mark IV, also with usb. I was wrong, the upper display is error 80, not card error.

With my 7d Mark ii works focus bracketing again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] RoadToNever:
An option to apply a color conversion matrix would be extremely useful.

It started with me noticing I was setting WB too far toward magenta since I started using DSLRcontroller for preparing video shots. I wanted to rule out a colorimetry issue. A magiclantern developer suggested I dump the raw liveview bufffer so I prepared a scene with red objects. I imported the dumped image to Avisynth as a BT.709 and BT.601 source. After comparing the two I concluded the BT.601-interpreted version was closer to the hues of the actual scene. The BT.709-interpreted version had reds distinctively shifted toward orange, reflecting what I was seeing in DSLRcontroller liveview.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
The error occurs *only* with the 5D Mark IV, *also* with USB ? Have you seen the error with Wi-Fi ? If so, did you connect in Smartphone (or NFC) or EOS Utility (PC) mode ?

Please make absolutely sure your answers are correct and exact!

Also, which phone/tablet are you using?

After further testing, I'm seeing more issues with the 5DmkIV specifically when using USB (everything seems fine when Wi-Fi is used)

Well, you'd still need to be able to create the color conversion matrix :)

Hello, is it possible to enable shutter trigger button on the camera when in live view mode? Currently it's a must to press the button on the phone/tablet but I want to use my wireless shutter remote...

I use usb, my smartphone (very good otg) is a LG Pad 8.3 with Android 4.4.2 (last version from LG). The memory cards in my 5D Mark IV

The memory cards are all 1066x brand cards, as is also no card broken. Yes, I also tried different cards. I do not think it's on a card. Also a re-formatting did not help.

I use the Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8 II . As I said, with the 7D II everything works perfectly - synonymous with the same lens ( EF 24-70 f/2.8 II (.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
So, something really weird is going on!

I have updated my 5D4 to the latest firmware (1.1.0) and EOS Utility on my computer to the latest version (3.5.1.0).

The issue has to do with multiple successive captures.

By default with DSLR Controller, the problem only occurs when using USB, but not when using Wi-Fi (NFC/smartphone-protocol).

But, if you enable storing images on the phone as well (so the camera sends the images to the phone when shot), the problem *also* occurs when using Wi-Fi!

Now, to verify I am not doing something weird, I also try with EOS Utility: but this *also* has problems!

When connected using USB, EOS Utility will break on image capture, *unless* images are stored on PC *only* (so not on camera at all)

When connected using Wi-Fi, EOS Utility will work fine regardless of capture location.

So, currently even EOS Utility is broken.

Until I find the solution or work-around (if that is possible at all, it might be a camera firmware issue!), I suggest you use only NFC/Wi-Fi with the 5D4, and make sure you have DSLR Controller set to store images only on camera.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JensLPZ:
I have now also again tested (in Germany is firmware 1.02 current):

Bracketing via WiFi also works with two memory cards.

That's okay, thank you. :)

Do you really have the firmware 1.10 in your 5D Mark IV or do you mean the first firmware 1.01?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Ah no sorry, I also updated my 7D2 and 5DSR, those were 1.1.0. 5D4 was updated to 1.0.2.

DSLR Controller Video Recording Problem.

I am a filmmaker and I want to shoot projects in cinema widescreen of 2:35:1 so I see we have an overlay of this on the dslr controller but, whenever I RECORD a video. The record timer on the DSLR controller app stretches and crops the frame on my tablet monitor when I record video so the output on my tablet is not aligned with what is recorded on the Dslr (Canon 5D MARK 2). Has anyone come across this problem and can it be fixed?

Refunds Via Google Play

Hi,

I have tried asking for a refund but nothing is working. I tried going through google and the method on your site.

The app is not compatible with my camera (Nikon D7000) which I did not notice until after purchase and missed the uninstall window of 2 hours.

Will this maybe work in the future with the D7000?

Thanks,

No Problems. Just KUDOS!

I'm not a pro like many of the posters here but that doesn't really matter. What does matter is that this app makes everyone's photo taking better and easier.

I'm a rookie with a Canon EOS Rebel T5 connecting to a Samsung Tab 3 - 10" via the TP-Link TL-MR3040 and have to say it is nothing less than amazing.

KUDOS to the whole team!

Aside from how happy I am with the app, I am willing to help out.

On the Devices page it states that there is no info for a hard connection using a Tab 3.

If someone can specify/recommend the correct cables/adapters to buy and the steps to take, I'll do it in order to fill that hole in the Devices specifications.

I LOVE THIS APP!

M5

what about the Canon EOS M5, (when) will it be supported?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I need a color conversion matrix to go from one color system to the other, see https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/ColorMatrix.html.

I'll settle for formulas for each R/G/B channel, but I haven't been able to really find those either.

This is on my to-do list to reproduce and investigate. I think I already responded to you on Twitter?

Your purchase has been refunded.

Thanks, but the problem is that Samsung with some of their Tab lines (including the Tab 3, I think) has created several different models with different chips in them. So if I put up that the Tab3 10" works, people will assume the 7" will as well, while it will probably not. So unless I have info on the full range of devices, adding it would have an adverse effect.

I have no idea. WPA2 works fine for me.

Not for a while yet. It still has to be released, then I still have to get one, and then I have to debug it. In contrast to most new Canon camera's at release, the M5 will definitely require some development time!

Canon 5D MK4 does not work correctly yet (for me)

Hi Chainfire, I contacted you a while ago about this (in the meantime I was ill). I Have the new DSLR Controller version, but the error is the same. The APP says capturing and just sits there like that, counting the time up, but never returns control back so that the APP is usable again. If I then disconnect the USB cable from the Camera then it cannot be operated and says "Busy". I have tried USB connections from my ASUS Tablet and Nexus smartphone, and WIFI direct connections to the Camera, the problem is the same.

I can operate the APP OK, until I take a picture. I have tried specifying to keep the pics on Camera, or on Camera or local, it makes no difference.

If I connect DSLR controller to the Camera I can look at the images from the Camera on my tablet OK.

It just seems to be an error when taking a picture, the Camera does take the shot OK as I can find it on the Camera afterwards, it just doesn't seem to tell DSLR controller that it has completed the shot.

I cannot seem to find any pointers to this problem.

Any Ideas? Can I do anything to debug this for you?

Cheers Brian
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Interesting you have it already... I suspect it will be at least a few more weeks before it is available in my country.

The mkIV has no end of issues. I'm working on them, and another update is coming.

At one point, I couldn't even get it (capturing images) working with EOS Utility anymore.

One thing you can try already is upgrade to firmware 1.0.3, then in the camera 'Clear all camera settings'. It fixed my EOS Utility issues, and DSLR Controller seems to be working a lot better now as well.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] BrianDorling:
Thanks for the quick answer. I upgraded FW and cleared settings as suggested and that has helped. Up to now all is working OK, WIFI and USB with the App on my Tablet. USB does not work from my smartphone

but that may be a cable issue. First stacking captures worked correctly too. In some situations I could not zoom in "x1" was greyed out, not sure what that was caused by, other times I could zoom in OK.

So that makes me very happy again that I have a functioning solution for taking stacked shots on this Camera.

Thanks very much.

First of all, thank you so much for DSLR Controller! Even though DSLR photography is just a hobby, I use the app for some years now, and it is a big help to take perfectly focussed photos.

I got myself a Canon 80D recently. It works fine with DSLR Controller when I connect it to my Nexus 5X via USB cable. But when I try to establish a connection via WiFi and NFC, DSLR Controller sets up the WiFi link successfully, but then complains that it could not find a camera. I tried it with the Canon app, and it just worked fine. (Of course I deleted the WLAN entry created by the Canon app from my 5X before trying again with DSLR Controller.)

I know that NFC and 80D support is rather new. Is there a way I can help to make it work? I know that it is laggy compared to the USB cable solution, but it would be handy as I wouldn't have to carry an USB and OTG cable combo with me.

Everything works fine so far. But there are two things which i like to change to improve the use of the photobooth.

When I press the "play" button i see the last picture on the left side and more little pictures on the right side. But i also have a button for configuration and color. Is there a chance to hide these buttons to get a larger picture?

And the app isnt completly fullscreen. I still see the navigation buttones in the bottom. Can the app go to full screen mode?

Hi Guys,

I know I'm not on top of the urgent list, but I just bought the DSLR Controller to use for... well... My 5Dmk2 will be able to use it anyway, so sponsoring this project was a no-brainer. However, What I would REALLY love is to be able to use it with my EOS M5 and its lovely 28mm macro with led lights... That doesn't work though. But I have a feeling that you're almost there.

DSLR controller catches the mode setting (P, Av, etc). It updates focus (I can hear the STM motor). But it does NOT shoot any pictures, nor does it show anything in the screens (LCD, viewfinder, or android phone).

There are plenty of things that need to work in order to get that far. I do hope somebody will find the time to do this, so that I can ditch my 5Dmk2.

Suggestion: hide Android navbar

I'd really like to be able to maximize the screen space used by the app hiding the navbar.

On Nexus 5, Android 7.1.1: when rotating the device in landscape mode the navbar stays on the short side of the screen (side in landscape, bottom in portrait), the nav buttons rotate and since the DSLR sensor in 4/3, the camera liveview seen on 16/9 screen is maximized (in height).

On Asus Memo Pad 8 (WUXGA screen), Android 5.0.1: when rotating the device in landscape mode the navbar goes on the long side of the screen (bottom in landscape) preventing the app to use the full screen resolution. BUT with other apps (eg. Google Photos), in landscape mode, the navbar becomes transparent and the app uses the full screen height. It can be even fully hide tiping in the screen, for real FULL screen previews.

Please fix this problem! It would be really nice to use the "Fullscreen liveview" mode at FULL screen!
