Same experience with my 450D on a Iconia... Sorry, edit.... I'm using a 450D.

180-degree flip in update works beautifully

Just received the update to the app, the 180 flip works really nicely, thanks for that :)

Unfortunately I can still confirm that my touch focus issue persists; can still only perform one touch-screen-to-focus action per session, regardless if a photo has been captured, or if the focusing point has been relocated. FWIW I'm running the new official 3.1 TouchWiz rom on my Galaxy Tab 10.1.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Zacky32:
Very cool! But sadly I'm using Sony :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sammyboy405:
Good im glad im not the only one. I thought Maybe i was just being Retarded using it.. haha

So What can we do and what info can we provide to get this fixed.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] georgech:
You can find links to recommended cables and adapters on the DSLR Controller website under Devices: dslrcontroller.com/devices.php. Some devices only need a generic USB OTG cable, while others need special adapters, so be sure to purchase the correct one for your model.

While we're on the topic of that devices.php page, the Galaxy Nexus comment needs updating. This is no longer true: "At the time of this writing, the Nexus firmware's USB host support is broken, you need to flash a custom kernel with fixed USB host". As I'm sure you're aware, if you have the OTA 4.0.2 update then DSLR Controller will work just fine.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Heh yeah, I was planning to do that during the next update. But that got delayed a bit :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigfatron:
A little help/guidance required.

I've got a Galaxy Nexus updated to 4.0.2 and bought a cable from eBay UK listed as "USB Host OTG Micro B Cable Adaptor for Samsung Galaxy S/SII/S2 Nokia N810 N900" (can't post the link yet due to it being my first post).

I've tried hooking up said OTG cable plus a short (approx 3 inch) mini USB B - USB A cable attached to a Canon 7D and the Remote Release (v1.10) app just comes back with 'Could not find a compatible camera'. I've tried another longer similar USB A - mini USB B cable as well as a small A-B adaptor. Same result.

Is there anything you can recommend I try? Does MTP or PTP mode for either device matter? Is there any specific setting for the phone to get this to work? Should other USB peripherals be recognised if I plug those into the phone? For instance, if I hook up a USB stick then where should this show up if the phone sees it?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] msatter:
Look on the blog of Chainfire: http://www.chainfire.eu/articles/108/StickMount_v1_0_released_/

for more information on mounting a USB stick.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DanielBoeV:
I've tried the "adapter" on a friends SGSII running Icecream and it doesn't work, so I ended up (Finally!) finding a place here in Denmark that has the official Samsung SGSII adapter thingy, (Or just any adapter, the other one I had to order from the UK and it only came after 8 days, and can't be shipped back, for small nuggets of electronics, it's horribly to live here) it cost almost $18 compared to the $2 the other one cost, but I received it today and it works.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigfatron:
Thanks. My device isn't rooted so can't try that as of now. Should any other kind of USB peripheral work without rooting? I just want to verify if its the cable or the phone thats at fault here.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
If you have a USB stick with a light on it, it should light up when you connect it - because a basic amount of communication does go on between the Android and the stick, and power is supplied.

Also, regarding that stick app, if you dont have root, it will fail / crash / etc when trying to mount, BUT, if you just install it, and you plug in a USB stick, you should get a popup asking you to open StickMount. You'll get the popup whether or not you have root, if the communication between Android and the USB stick works.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gemini8026:
Just got my cable in today.

Running CM9 on a Galaxy S2 with a Canon 5dMK2...

Works great. I love it!

Chainfire. One request.....

Im not sure if this is a bug in the current release (im on newest beta) but I want to be able to step to pas -2, and +2 in HDR mode. My camera (5d2) steps from -4 to +4 . But in the app, I cannot go past -2 or +2 ......

Resolvable?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
The 5Dmk2 tells the app it cannot go beyond -2..+2 bracketing. This is a known issue. It will not actually be "resolved" in an update, as the current HDR mode requires Av or Tv mode and the actual HDR is performed by changed the exposure compensation.

Instead, it will be worked around by providing a more powerful HDR mode requiring M mode, which will allow you to set pretty much "whatever". Don't expect it this coming update, but do expect it soon.

(I can only code so much in a day!)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigfatron:
Thanks. Just tried that with two USB sticks of different makes and not a dickybird happened (no light on the stick, no app launch).

So I assume they've just sent me a bog-standard USB cable? If I use a male-male adapter with the cable I was sent then I can use it as a normal phone-PC data cable so its obviously not a continuity issue. I guess i'll just have to try and get another host cable from somewhere over Christmas. Thanks again for the input anyway, very useful.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] msatter:
Good to read that it now works!! :)

Why buy in the UK? You can get almost anything in Germany. I order stuff for my computer and parts for my car there and when I get something for my camera I compare the prices over here and in Germany.

German is no problem for me and a lot of people in Germany do speak English.

Just use ebay.de instead of ebay.dk

Attached is the "ps" output as well for good measure, since I didn't grab it last time. Also, thanks for the tip re:adbWirless. This is much less painful than messing with USB device drivers, and works a treat when the USB port happens to already be occupied ;-)

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pspilot:
Guys, about that mem problem there seems to be a bit of a confusion about the different parameters for different 'memories'. Chainfire, after investigating a bit more and testing with a tool called 'Elixir' (free on the market), your FAQ seems to describe the wrong parameter and/or the wrong memory type.

If you look at the attached screenshot, you'll see, that there are two memory size parametes. A "per-app" size (the middle value of 48m, marked with the nice German word 'Speicherlimit' :)), which is set to the fatal 48m and which is reported as too low by DSLR Controller. In the bottom you see the value for the virtual machine (dalvik) memory, which is named 'max memory for the VM'. When you alter the value for "dalvik.VM.heapsize" in the build.prop, THIS is the mem value changed. I tried it with 196m and promptly Elixir reported the 196m in the bottom line. But it didn't change the per-app value. So the description in the FAQ is ... well, 'a bit missleading' :D. It also explains the fact I stated, 2.3.6 comes already with 128m set - that was for that global memor for the VM, not the per-app value. I still think, also all stock 'build.prop's have the 128m value preset. That's why the rocket dev couldn't remember to have it changed :).

Anyway, as I said I'm not an Android coder, so I wouldn't know the right screw to turn to set the proper 'per-app' value easily. It would be interesting also, if you (Chainfire) would check your Note with Elixir too and try to find out, why your 2.3.6 is working. What's it reporting in that screen (tap on the RAM line). If it shows 128m for both values on your side, it would be interessting, how you achived that - I'm willing to bet a few bucks, it wasn't the dalvik.VM.heapsize :D.

Anyway, thanks so far for all the constructive answers here, great!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pspilot:
Oh, I forgot: what are these 'free tools' to tweak these memory settings that are mentioned in the FAQ? Just in case you have a good recommendation on your mind .
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gemini8026:
Sounds fantastic!!!

Im quite happy with this purchase! Very cool app, and appears to be stable on my end!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Yeah I think it's just a standard cable, then!

Maybe I made a mistake here. In my development version I have already added some extra code that uses other methods to detect the max memory that can be used - it'll just take whichever one is higher as baseline. The latter may well correspond to the bottom value you see.

Please check if this problem remains the next update. In the meantime, I'll also see about this program you mention.

Regarding free apps, I forget the name, but I used to have one on my phone. Either way, DSLR Controller will be offering to modify this value for you itself, probably next update. So no more external tools needed.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MDicnMan:
I would love to see this working as well. The HPTP is such a great piece of hardware and it seems a shame to miss out on this VERY cool application.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
If YOU have USB host working on YOUR device (USB sticks and such work) then we can look at it.

Mind you, the i777 is also in a situation where USB sticks work but so far DSLR Controller does not - and we have not been able to figure out why yet.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] birdster:
Hi chainfire would it be possible to have an option to flip the screen, as when I'm shooting macro shoots on a tripod sometimes my camera is upside down to get as low as possible, this would help a quite a few places who shoot low and shoot this way..... thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Not sure if I'm going to do anything with that tbh.

Alternatively you can turn off autorotation on your Android device, and hold your tablet/phone upside down.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pspilot:
Now that sounds great. Actually, if you have the possibility, you should just modify these limits to your needs right within DSLR Controller. Most users won't even understand, if you start asking them about a 'mem-per-app' value or such. The question is, whether it can be done without reboot. I'll wait for the next update and now it's Christmas anyway ... time to get last presents instead of app testing :D.

Happy Christmas everyone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ufoxvx:
new here

In a moment of fortune I stumbled on this dslr-app. And after that I tried to find more information on it. I found over 100 pages here. As being a newbie my proposal is that messages concerning older releases should be removed as far as the questions are solved. That should make it far easier to understand.

So... that was the worst start sentence I could think off :rolleyes:

For your information: using an Eeepad transformer 101 from Asus, android 3.2, Asus USB extender, standard cable, Canon 7D dslr. Memory message High 256. And everything, as far as implemented seems to work.

In dutch to Chainfire: KLASSE

Would it be that I should find a flaw I will mention it here. If something has to be tested... mention it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gemini8026:
Chainfire.

Any chance of a possible gesture or double tap to "re-center" the focus position to dead center?! Im having a ***** of a time getting it manually to dead center :)

Also not sure if theres a way yet to select manual focusing positions. Im aware of doing it in live mode, but cant do manual selection points ....

Either way, still running nice. Got my heap up to 128mb and its running nice and smooth!

Xoom, ICS, DSLRC, Root and Eos-Wingray

Just installed Eos-Wingray ROM on my Xoom WiFy.

DSLRC work perfect.

HoooWINGRAY!!!!!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Re-center: this may be added soon

Focus position: unfortunately it is impossible to know by the camera what position the lens is in. I've spent many days trying to read data to circumvent this, but it simply isn't possible to do ad-hoc in a reliable way. There may still be solutions for focus pulling but they will be limited.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Great news everyone, the new update (probably named v0.83) is coming along nicely, and I still hope to release it before x-mas :)

Among other things, it now supports histograms, basic exif data and exposure blinking in image review (also exposure filter in liveview), and brings the HDR/M mode (up to +-8 EV depending on current shutter speed).

Looking ahead to timelapse and bramping, I think I've finally gotten the camera to switch into (and stay in) DoF mode. I will probably need some private testers for that in the future - and I will ask when I do. If the DoF mode is fully operational and truely locks the aperture this would probably be very handy.

The question to you timelapsers is, how could I best test this ? If I go into DoF mode, I can still capture, and I'm back in DoF mode - but it is unclear if the camera "resets" to DoF mode, or "stays" in DoF mode the entire time.

I'm looking for a method that would quickly give/show me aperture flicker if DoF isn't working :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] msatter:
That would be a great x-mas gift to us. ;-)

I am not in bramping however I have looked at the behaviour of the diagram when I take a picture under the following condition: exposure manual, live view on, no computer or phone connected, quick focus not selected, DoF button pressed.

On taking the picture and looking in the lens the aperture stay in the set position and then opens fully and because the DoF button is still being pressed, the aperture closes to the set position.

For checking for not good working DoF you can look at the histogram of the stills. The light and objects in a sequence have to be the same.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Doh, instead of looking at data I get from the camera, I could of course just look at the dang lens. Facepalm!

It looks like you are correct, it does open and close.

Oh well, at least I can add a button people want, and it helps with timelapse to make the dof-lens-turn action easier...

In other news, I'm thinking about rolling the WB and K buttons into one, to save space, as they're mutually exclusive anyway. The WB button would then let you select all the options (except K) and have all the temperatures listed.

Objections ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ziggymaj:
Small suggestion, could you make buttons to move focus bigger for tablet version. They are pretty small to manipulate.

Thanks

Canon 5D Mark II and Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gemini8026:
Focus buttons are a good size on my phone (not a tablet guy) and I support moving the two buttons together, making more real estate for future goodies!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DanielBoeV:
I haven't used it so far because my German is bad to say the least, but maybe I'll try it when I buy my new 50mm :O
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] msatter:
:)

No objection. I suggest, to put a "K" behind the colour temperature displayed in the main screen.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ufoxvx:
another question about color temperature: is the actual color temp somewhere readable? Specifically when working in AWB should it be very easy as reference for possible corrections.

Galaxy Note

I just was able ,for the first time to buy DSLR Controller on the market for my Note. It dose not work but says it might work if I root. Do I wait for ICS or root now, has anyone gotten the note to work? If so what root do I do? I'm just happy I finally could buy the Beta just to support your great project. THANKS!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
It works on my note... It's my favorite device to use DSLR Controller on, really. I use CF-Root to root it (surprised?).

You could wait for ICS, but that's still a few months away, I think.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigfatron:
As a footnote to my post the other day, I did manage to source another cable (official Samsung one via Amazon for £8) and this time it worked a treat (hooked up to a Galaxy Nexus). Excellent application, very impressed indeed. And thanks for the help diagnosing the issue.

And fair play to the lad on ebay who sold me the first cable and refunded me with no fuss when I said it didn't work.

As for the combining of the WB/K options, that makes complete sense to me. I couldn't quite understand why it was seperate anyway.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
It's separate because the camera treats them as two seperate options :)

I got at last this app working with Galaxy S2 after rooting with ZergRush.

My phone has stock 2.3.5 (I9100XXKI4 / GINGERBREAD.XWKI8)

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] WvandeHoef:
Today I bougt the app from the Market, after reading that it should work for my setup:

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 + USB Adapte + Standard USB cable + Canon EOS 600D

The first shot in Manual mode worked fine, but during the next change of settings some buttons disappeard or became black. The more buttons I pressed the more stopped working. In the end I did not have the Live View anymore and the App became inresponsive.

I had to hard-reset the Galaxy Tab and remove the battery from the camera to get them both working again. Once I placed the battery back in the camera and switched it on, the shutter closed!

I have tried a factory reset on the Camera to remove possible conflicting settings, checked if all Custom Functions wher at '0' again. This made no difference at all.

Then I removed the App from the Tab, did a restart, cleaned all caches, applied the latest updates from Samsung, reinstalled the App and tried again.

Still not working.

Does anyone have a clue what might be the root cause of my problem?

Is there an option to debug the communication with the camera to see where it stops?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] msatter:
Have you tried an other USB cable which is shorter? Is the battery of the camera not almost empty?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Cptnodegard:
I can confirm that it works with Canon D1000 and a Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus running stock Android 3.2 and using the USB kit. Great app!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mrbreit:
Merry Christmas! :-)

I bought the app yesterday. I always get the following error message: Capture failed ! Maybe your device...

Can someone help me?

I have a 450d and a xoom.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] WvandeHoef:
I have tried 3 diffent cables and batteries ar full (I have 2 in the additional grip).

To check where the problem is I have tested the Tab and USB connector in combination with an USB keyboard and mouse (Logitech Alto) and that combi works fine.

Then I have tested the EOS 600D with the 3 cables on a desktop pc with the standard Canon EOS Utility. This combi is working fine as well.

Leaves the App on my tablet. :confused:

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

That is the last message my Galaxy Tab 10.1 is giving me as well. After that the camera hangs and does not respond to any switch or button.

I hope we have the same issue, so there might be a solution in a next release.

Merry Xmass to you too, happy capturing the light :)

wow nice app
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] WvandeHoef:
Some positive news:

I just have tested with an older version (0.77) and that one is working without any problems or side effects.

Some negative news (for the engineers): :eek:

So my conclussion for today is that 0.80 has a new feature that does not work with my Samsung Galaxy Tab running Android 3.2, Kernel 2.6.36.3, build HTJ85B P7510XWKL1 and the Canon EOS 600D with firmware 1.0.1.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] msatter:
That is not negative news and also positive because first of all you give the developer a good point to start from to track down the problem.

My compliments to try an older version of the program to help Chainfire!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
That's... weird. But thanks for the information. I'll update my own tab to 3.2 see what happens.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
