Great App! Thank you! About full-screen mode...

Hello Chainfire,

Just wanna thank you and all the develpers who made this app possible. This app has turned my smartphone into a field monitor for video work.

With all the great features in this app, I was wondering if there's a shortcut for full-screen mode. I have to go through the settings and pick it out among other functions in the menu everytime I want to use it. Is it possible to have a separate icon for it on the right side of the app? Or there's a shortcut that I just happen not discovering it yet?

Thank you for your time!! Please keep up the good work! :cowboy:

New feature request

Hello, first let me say I love your app.

I am an amature Astrophotographer... using my camera and telescope to photograph deep space objects.

Needless to say maintaining my night vision is important. Would it be possible to add a feature that would allow me to use the app in a night vision freindly format (ie a black bacground and everything else in red). The SkEye app has a great example of what I am talking about.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Problem sharing images

Hi,

Just downloaded the app, works fine with my 1100d and HTC One M8, with one exception. When I go to image review >>> cog >>> share image, regardless of which option I select (email, twitter, whatevs) I get a message which is a variation on "permission denied for this attachment". Can you advise? Its a great app otherwise but for someone who wants to share images on the go its a bit of a deal-breaker.

focus bracketing

Hi all,

I think I have a problem with the focus bracketing. If I use extension tubes and Raynox 250 with my macro lens (100mm Canon) the camera (software) is not taking enough pictures between the described start and endpoint. If I take a look at the finished picture after stacking I see that there are areas slightly blurred between the sharp areas. Step lasts always 1 and step size reads always "large". So what should I try if it will e.g. take 10 pictures? I would say I have to double up this number but I can't reduce the steps so I have to change the step size to another option? What would you recommend?

Sorry for my bad english!

Connect to multiple cameras with one cell phone?

First, let me just say that this looks like an amazing product.

I've searched the forum/thread for discussion about connecting to multiple cameras (read two canon EOS).

Would this be possible?

I'm thinking of first verifying that the application would work using an usb-hub (portable) between the cell phone and the camera.

So that the usb cable from the cell phone goes to the usb hub and that the camera is also connected to the usb hub.

If one first verifies that this works with one camera (and one cell phone of course).

if this works, then the next step would be to see how the app behaves when connecting two cameras to the hub.

I guess the app either will get confused or pick one of the cameras to connect to?

The third step, if these two previous steps are successful, would need the help from the app developers.

They would need to create the ability to handle two connections to two cameras. (We can asume they are of the same model.)

That would mean, that for each screen in the app, we would need to have an A and B version depending on which camera to view/control.

The last step in this design/idea would be to create the ability to press "focus" and "trigger/fire" in the app in a way so it performs this at the same time on both usb connections.

This could then be used for stereophotographers. The ability to fire two cameras at the same time is essential to us. The stereoscopic community would be overwhelmed if this functionality was possible. And I'm sure you also could charge for that functionality.

I'm willing to help out as beta tester or whatever.

Some of you may wonder, why not just simply use a y-cable and connect the two cameras. The reason for this is that the cameras does not behave well after a while. I strongly suspect there is a problem with connecting the two electrical circuits of two cameras.

Monitoring mode

It would be really useful to be able to put DSLR Controller into full-screen monitoring mode (hiding all buttons) and to disable these buttons until a code is input. That way the screen can be used to monitor the video output from the camera by the Director, Script Supervisor and the Sound Dept.

How to get app to work with 5D mk2 with note 3

I have a 5d mk2 and a note 3 with, up to date firmware but I can't seem to get them to connect. It's not the cable because it works with my nexus 7.

So what happens is when I connect the devices my note 3 just can't find the camera. Is there a setting I'm suppose to tick?

App lag while "Capturing..."

I'm getting this as well. It appears that the app has to wait for the camera to save the image to the card, then it lets you take another. When the camera is set for multi-exposures it works great, but taking single-shots causes the delay.

Is there a setting or a fix for this?

Compatible with Sony Z3C

Hello,

Got this app for a couple of years now, but do to the fact i don't want a phone as big as a refrigerator( mostly had the samsung mini's) i never had the opportunity to see it working.

So on the edge of buying a new phone, does the app works on a Sony z3 compact?

Still in doubt between the LG nexus 5(2013) and the Sony z3 compact, but thats not to discus here.

I have a canon 7d so thats not the problem.

Thanks,

Photos not showing in Gallery

So I have this connected to my Samsung S5 via USB. I have it set to save to the external SD folder but can't get it to show up in the gallery.

Any thoughts on this ?

I saw a couple of mentions of this, but I didn't see any resolution.

Is there any way to have recording continue after exiting the app? Right now if I exit or even hit the home button, the recording automatically stops.

Secondly, I have back-button auto-focus enabled, where I I have reprogrammed the asterisk button (AE lock) to focus, and the shutter button only takes the photo.

I know the app warns me that my settings might cause problems, and if I try to focus within the app it seems to hang. My question is, is there any way to duplicate the AE lock/asterisk button in the app so I can press that to focus? Or, even better, since the app seems to be able to "recognize" the custom settings, could it be possible that when I tap to focus, it will correctly focus using the AE lock button instead of the half-pressed shutter button?

Great app, by the way!

save images while shooting?

It is possible to "auto-save" the images to the phone while shooting?

i use the fullscreen mode or gallery mode to view the photo after taken (no live view on camera), but it does not save the image to the phone (shows but does not save).

a few options appear to be for this function, but i don't know if is supposed to work like that (conf. storage > jpeg on camera and local device + raw on camera)

i shoot raw + small jpeg, and wanted to save the jpeg's to the phone while shooting (and have preview in full-screen mode or gallery mode)

manual transferring them in gallery works fine.

thanks in advance ;)

Canon 5D Mark ii

Samsung Galaxy Siii (rooted)

So I'm new to DSLR video (I know, welcome to 2010), and I've recently installed Magic Lantern to my 5D Mark ii to take advantage of it's many features, but mostly the RAW video. I purchased the DSLRController and of course have run into some problems. As of now, while running the ML firmware, I am unable to see the Live View on my Samsung Galaxy. All other features work and I can record RAW files if I use the camera's Live View and record button (which I'm ok with). The only thing holding me back at the moment is that I can not see the Live View on my phone. Is this a common issue and is there a work around? Thanks.

Video playback takes too long to load a video. It keeps loading untill it plays the file from camera. Thats not very practical . is there a way to solve this? Its even faster to transfer the file to the tablet than waiting for playback from camera.

Can someone recommend which current 10" tablet would be a really good one to use with DSLR Controller?

A couple of years ago, I used DSLR Controller on a Galaxy Tab (first one), and it worked GREAT!

Then, my grandkids killed my tablet, and it had to be factory reset, and it hasn't worked with DSLR Controller since. I don't know what the deal is, but I'm ready for a new tablet anyway, and getting DSLR Controller to work on it without ANY fuss of "rooting" it or something like that, which I don't know anything about, is a top priority for me.

Any recommendations for a no-fuss 10" tablet reboot? :)

I love using DSLR controller on this tablet. Client are amazed seeing their shots on the screen. (Real estate and vacation rental interiors, tilt and shift lenses) I can rip through widely-bracketed HDR sets way faster. I have a bunch of OTG cables and bring extras. I also bought a external battery "extender", as my used unit has a less-than-fresh battery.

Support for regular Linux would be good

Hi Chainfire,

I was keen to try DSLR Controller on my Vodafone Smart prime 6 with my Canon EOS 500D. That failed at the first attempt, due to poor USB hosting on the phone I think. But then I tried the TP-Link TL-MR3040 portable wireless router method and that succeeded without a hitch.

I have plenty of time to try DSLR Controller and I hope that it might help somehow with remote control for my amateur astrophotography!

A version of DSLR Controller for Arch Linux, or OpenSUSE, or Debian would be very good for me - mobile phones are neat but I do miss my big screen and keyboard. My eyesight and my fine finger skills are not what they used to be!

Of course, the TP-Link TL-MR3040 portable wireless router method would make connection to the camera a done deal.

Thanks for a great app, hang on in there.

Shutter Release for Stills and focusing

I was able to get the DSLR Controller to work with my Verizon 4GLTE Android tablet and my Canon 70D using TL-MR3040. I encountered two issues while using the

1. When I tried to focus with the tablet, DSLR Controller just display Focusing on the screen and nothing happens. I had to shut everything down to be able to use the software again.

2. When I click to take a still image, it ends up taking multiple pictures. I had to turn the camera off for it to stop snapping. Is there something I need to set to prevent this?

Image (jpg instead of raw) preview option

Sorry if this subject has already been discussed, but this thread is so big I couldn't have found it:

It takes a while to transfer via wi-fi a raw file for review on a mob. dev. - especially if the distance from the camera/router is big. And my camera is just 18 Mpix, those with higer res. cameras must be affected even more by this issue. It is even more painful if bracketing 5, 7 or 9 exposures.

I assume that most, if not all Canon DSLRs provide the option of shooting raw+jpg. When this option is chosen, it would be nice to be able to choose in DSLRController app to only have jpg file transferred from the camera to the mob. dev. in order to speed up the process of reviewing the shots.

Is such a functionality somewhere in the pipeline and is there any update of the app (a 'mature', non-beta version) planned in a forseable future?

Camera not recongnized...

Hi,

i am using a EOS 100D and a XOOM tablet, denoted as working devices on the webpage of DSLR Controller.

Unfortunately i am using a custom ROM (Team EOS Android 4.4.4 with ElementalX 2.1 kernel, here from XDA developers).

My camera is not recognized by DSLR Controller, although i can see, that the camera is recognized by the kernel.

I had a similar problem with a DVB-T stick (used as a SDR) which was recognized when i check "force root" at the SDR software.

Would it be possible to have a similar option at the camera searching dialog? Or in case of not finding a camera ask for trying as root, so i can grant permission to that?

Thank you in advance.

Feature Request: Scripting

It would be nice to be able to create scripts and play back for frequent multi-step operations.

I frequently shoot multiple images with a macro lens for focus stacking. This involved focusing on the furthest point in my image, capturing the image, waiting for the image to load to my phone, hitting the back button to get out of the image preview, moving the focus a step or two, capturing the image, etc. Fr my most recent project, this included 28 images which are then blended in PhotoShop.

It would be nice to be able to write a script like the following:

1. Set A to far focal length

2. Set B to near focal length

3. Select the number of steps for each image (e.g.: 2)

4. Start the script that will move to A, take an image, move the focus by the number of steps, take another image and repeat until at or base B.

Appreciate the app! Works great on Nexus 6 with Marshmallow and Canon 5D Mark II.

Feature Request: Longer Exposure

Hello.

User of this software since 2 months, it’s my first submission.

I use it for astronomical purposes where it is very useful.

Nevertheless, I miss some things that I have not been able to find within authors web site or this thread.

My search is simple:

astrophotography needs exposure with more than 30 seconds, which is timed limit proposed in Time-lapse function.

Use Bulb exposure means use an external intervalometer (I still have enough devices within the car when go on the field ;)).

So, does DSLRCONTROLLER permit, embedded, longer exposures ( fixed time -60 seconds, 90, etc...- or user-defined) ?

And if not, do the authors think possible to integrate such possibility ?

If it is already possible, I apologize and will read any supplied document (that explain how to do) !!

Thanks to all

----------------------- Edit 8th February 2016

After working with software, I have find a partial but satisfying solution: set to BULB (what I have no try yet !!).

When goes to Time-lapse function, software ask for duration in milliseconds and that's all.

I have discover and use it last Friday under the stars.

That's great.
