Thanks for the reply! DSLR Controller says my phone is not compatible.

Do you know if the Azpen Innovation A700 Tablet is compatible? I don't have one so I can't test it. But they are cheap and I will purchase one if it's compatible.

Nexus 7, Canon 7D - Not Working

Hi,

As I don't find an option to create a new thread, am posting a reply here. With lots of excitement I just received Nexus 7, and my VERY FIRST Android experience ever. The whole reason I bought this is to use Nexus 7 with DSLR Controller app which i just came to know couple of days ago.

I already purchased the app, installed it and I see it's in compatible list with 7D. Followed the instructions, and custom function settings in my camera is correct as well. But after searching for device it keeps saying it' can't find my camera.

I even cleared my custom function setting and still it says it can't find my camera using usb or wifi.

Please provide assistance.

OTG cable am using is StarTech OTG cable from amazon

Thanks in advance.

Hi sthambi and welcome to XDA-Developers. Excellent that you could/did made a new thread because this is the official support thread for DSLR Controller.

A Nexus 7 model 2012 should work. When you have a Nexus model 2013 then DSLR Controller does not work if you have Android 4.3 and your language is not set to English (United States). When you received the update to Android 4.4 then you can also use a language setting other than English (United States) to get DSLR Controller working.

Your welcome
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] creonx:
Is this the same problem, that have users with a note two at 4.3 Rom? I'm German. But I don't want to change the system language to Us. Is there any reason for this?

I'm on ditto note 3 v3 Rom. Android 4.3 with bootloader mj5.

Should I have to wait for another release?

Send from my mobile workstation, the big bad Samsung Galaxy GT-N7100.

still not working

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I did upgrade my Nexus to Android 4.4 version. And I am not sure if you are asking me to keep the Language settings to "English (United States)" or Not.

I tried my Language settings to United States, India, United Kingdom - English. None of the settings worked.

I still get the same error as my camera could not be found. I have tried with my Canon 5D Mark II. I get the same error too.

Please let me know on the next steps to troubleshoot the issue. I would appreciate a fix asap, since I have a shoot coming up and thought of using this.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] msatter:
You still not have told if you have a Nexus 7 2012 or 2013 model?

If you have now installed 4.4 on your Nexus 7 then you can use English (India) and it should work. If not then you have to check your USB OTG cable.

By the way I am a normal user like you and Chainfire is the maker of DSLRcontroller.

This Nexus 7 2013 problem does not apply to your Note. You have sent in a logcat so the best is to wait till Chainfire has a look at your logcat.

Add self-timer to HDR-shots.

Dear Sirs,

First, if it is interesting for you, DSLR Controller works fine with chinese tablet Pipo M8pro (with 3g) as well as with original firmware, as with local Russian variants. And the one tablet Pipo M8 (not pro) - was not working.

Also, could you please add the future to switch self-timer (2/10 sec) to HDR-shots, since sometimes one need to run away from the scene.

Thank you in advance.

Nexus 7, Canon 7D - Not Working

Hi,

It's Nexus 7 - 2013 Model. I tried with English India too. It's NOT working. I appreciate that you take time to respond to me as a normal user.'

Why ChainFire is NOT responding with the solution? I bought this Nexus 7 mainly to use it as an external Monitor. I need to know the fix, if not I should just get the refund for DSLR controller, and return my Nexus 7.

Please help.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] msatter:
I can't speak for Chainfire and to have an instant solution for everyone with all those different devices is not possible. The Nexus 7 (2013) is just an awesome device and you can't a better 7" tablet like that on the moment.

With Android 4.4 it should be working and do you use an USB OTG (On The Go) cable and are you sure that the cable working correctly? That is the only possibility according to me that could cause this problem.

Please run the following APP and post over here your result: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.usbhostdiagnostics

Also read the first bit of the opening posting for an answer on refund.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Because msatter has already replied to you wit the correct questions and comments, and I had nothing more to add until you came back with the answer to which exact model you have.

As msatter suggested, run the "USB Host Diagnostics" app and see what it says. Also check if your computer works with your 5DmkII through a USB cable, and if the OTG / USB host connector works with your tablet at all.

Both the 5DmkII and the 2013 Nexus 7 are supported by the app and should work without issue, if you have the right firmware setup and cables.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sthambi:
Hi,

Thank you again for responding quickly. I just installed and ran the program. It gave me a unique code of "230728". I hope that gives access to the log. Please let me know otherwise how to get this diagnosed results.

And I am using "StarTech.com Micro USB OTG to USB Adapter - Micro USB Male OTG to USB Female Adapter - USB On The Go Adapter" bought from Amazon. and using a high quality Camera USB cable which is connected to this OTG to my Camera.

I completely agree with Nexus 7. I love it, although I have no experience using Android. Is there anywhere some tutorials available to learn much about android features, apps, etc tutorials? Thanks again for all your assistance.

It's weird. Now I accessed DSLR controller and it gave me option to "allow usb device access". clicked Yes, and now it's worked on my 5D Mark II. What could have been wrong? I had been doing the same thing, and why it should work only after running the diagnostics?

I am now going to check in my 7D and report back. Thank you!

:)

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------

Hi,

Not sure what went wrong again. The below is what i exactly did after it worked on my 5D Mark II.

1. I clicked on Controller Settings, and saw image preview option. When selected it listed all the videos I shot in my memory Card. Clicked Play. It asked me to install MX Player.

2. I installed it. and Played video it worked wonderful.

3. Now connected my Canon 7D. It gave me an option with 3 listed apps including "DSLR Controller". I selected DSLR Controller as an default option to open Always.

4. When DSLR Controller opened, the attached is the screen I am seeing. It does not show LIVE view again.

5. I connected again with my 5D and it's the same. I closed the app and reopened it. Still the same. Ran the USB diagnostics again, and 230741 was the unique code.

Can you please tell me what could have been gone wrong? Excitement didn't last longer :(

Thanks.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sthambi:
missed attachment. here it is

missed the attachment in my earlier reply. included it here.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
It probably has the kernel parts but not the Android parts. So it doesn't fully support USB host (it's certainly a software issue, and not a hardware issue, though - but that is true for most devices)

It takes quite a few clicks on the lowest increase to go from one end of focus to the other. There is however - as far as I've seen - no way to ask the camera what focus position it is in. That may or may not be problematic for your use.

Ideally all that stuff would be added to scripting eventually. However, that is not a very high priority right now. Also your script would have to take into account the various camera states. For example, to properly use the the manual focus controls, your camera needs to be in focus mode, or it may auto-focus at time of capture. Etc, etc.

Regarding bulb timing, I'm not sure how realistic very short bulb timing is with a solution like this.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DjJuvan:
Just a little warning for all android users. Today i had a little problem connecting SGS2 and EOS 550D; first i was able to connect and make my stuff, but later it didnt recognise the device anymore and I'm sure that something happend on SGS2. Half an our later at home i notice that my mobile was hot like crazy and no application was runing. I clicked the shut down button and left on the table. An hour later I remembered about the phone, and when I checked it, IT DIDNT shutdown and it was still hot as hell. I flipped out the battery in a second and hard reset it. The battery was 0% when I activated it back... :\ Kinda freaky, not to mention I smelld some burnt electronics from SGS2 :\

Just for the tip, If your mobile starst to act strange, and doesnt want to shut down - please remove the battery ASAP.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Scorchiooo:
Thanks for the response.

Is the amount of taps required to focus from one end to the other in the hundreds? I guess that would be the kind of resolution I would be after to do a smooth pull over a few hundred shots.

I thought I was being overly optimistic with the millisecond timing.

Looking forwards to getting my hands on this.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
It takes exactly 50 taps on the one lens I just tested this on ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Scorchiooo:
Thanks again for the speedy reply :) I will shut up now and let you get on with the important stuff.

I am going to have to look into flashing my SGS2. Never done it before, but I am looking forwards to creating an expensive paperweight.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pspilot:
Now that really surprises me, since I was told, the software is missing APIs with that ROM :confused:. Could you download it no problem from the market?

But they don't control, whether I'm always on the latest version and they have different hardware meanwhile which supports different iOS Versions. True, they have a smaller variety, but it's not THAT unified. I know enough people still with the 3G, they wondered more than once, whether their phone would support a certain app and the app store wouldn't help them, if the developer wouldn't mention something (which people had to read :rolleyes:). Checking the necessary APIs is FAR ahead ... my 2 cents.

But hey, that's the DSLR Controller thread, enough OT - sorry anyway. I'm more interessted why I can't buy the app with my Lite'ning ROM, when nexxer can

They must have something in mind with the USB-Host on the SGS2, because they spent some money for the host. Even if the functionality comes with 'recycled' tablet chips, the Vbus generation is an extra chip and not even a cheap one (when you build millions of units, nothing unneeded is actually cheap :)).

So far I didn't experience any crash, that couldn't be fixed with a looooong press of the power button (4-6 sec.). I find tearing out the battery not the best hint for a stable system :D.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] photounit:
Yeah, that's what somebody needs to design and market, a good bracket/mounting system to secure the tablets (and I guess phone too) to the tripod..... And hopefully at a price that won't be near the cost of the tripod or tablet!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Bit of a snafu. Took a look into video, uses some unknown format for the video live view.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] shaolin95:
That will make me very happy....if my K20D actually can use it that is. :D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Just tested this on different camera and lens. This one needs about 500 (I may be off by some ;)) taps to go from one end of the focus to the other.

So yeah, this is definitely lens (or camera, but I'm betting lens) dependent.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Finally got my hands on a Canon EOS 5D mk II. Works perfectly, can not reproduce any of the problems with my development version. (I'll be testing a bit later - when the battery is recharged - with the version currently on Market, see if that differs)

This means, after I'm done fixing up the things I am currently fixing up, there will be an update. Hopefully tonight.

Note that the much asked for featuers are not yet present, this is mostly a bugfix, compatibility, stability, and performance update
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Scorchiooo:
Ah, that is good news. That would definitely be enough steps to achieve a very smooth focus pull. I would probably go with lens dependent too. Would you mind if I asked which cameras and lenses you tested?

I should have a host cable arriving tomorrow so I will be able to test on a couple of different camera and lens combinations.

Thanks again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
The 50 step was with Canon EOS 50D / Canon EFS 15-85mm IS USM.

The 500 (or something) step was with Canon EOS 5D mk II / Canon EF 24-70mm 2.8 L USM

Hope that helps.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rlrbjr:
I'm not surprised. I think it's pretty well known that when you switch to video mode the resolution changes. In fact, on my 60D the output resolution (at least on HDMI) changes between VIDEO LiveView and Video Record -- during recording the output resolution drops from HD to SD. The 7D (and possibly other models) remains at HD during recording.

Video is going to add a whole new level of complexity. As much as I'd like to see video support; I want photographic support first. Some of the mentioned features such as time lapse and HDR support should be relatively straightforward (at least compared to video).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Yeah it's not that high of a priority, photography is first. I was just investigating a bit - specifically because at the moment I have 3 different cameras on my desk that all do video differently, and I will have to give two of them back soon. Would you be able to tell me which SD mode exactly it jumps to?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rlrbjr:
I'll check tonight (I'm in PDT) when I can hook it up to an HDMI monitor that reports resolution.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bretac:
Just a quick note, when the LiveView screen is set to video recording, the 5DM2 outputs in 1080p via HDMI while not recording, but drops to 480p via HDMI when recording. Not sure how that affects the output via USB, though.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Hmm, 704x480 could possibly fit the data sent through indeed!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Scorchiooo:
That helps a lot. I wonder if the amount of steps for focusing is similar across all the L range of lenses.

Thanks for the info.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bretac:
Like I said, I'm not sure how that works via USB. I'll test it out tonight or tomorrow and let you know.

If you do get liveview working while recording on the 5D (even if it's 480p), I guarantee that the HDSLR community will go crazy over your app. :)

I went to Settings, opened running app, and stopped dslr controller. restarted it and it worked just fine with my 5d and 7d. Fixed it myself. Thanks for all your help. Hope it goes smoother from now on. :)

I just got the tp-link over the weekend and bought the app. so far it works great but i have a few questions

1) Is it possible to use the camera to take a picture with the viewfinder, and have the picture show up in my tablet? Right now with the app running, the mirror is flipped up and I have to do everything thru my tablet. Thats great for some situations but not always.

2) When in bracketing mode, how do i show the of the current shot of the sequence (-1,0,+1)

3) If I set it on highspeed burst mode instead of single shot, after the bracket series, there is a timer that keeps on counting. When i tap the shutter button, it takes me to review the shots. what is this timer for?

4) when i have it on single shot mode, i tap it once, and it takes a pic. When i set it to bracketing mode, i want it to take the series of shots with one tap as well. is that possible?

thanks

MKII>TP-Link>HTC one 4.3

Hi,

trying to connect to MKII through TP-link using HTC ONE Android 4.3 and no luck. All the time software says cant find camera.

memory card inserted, camera is not sleeping, and wifi network connected. any suggestions?

Do I have to use some special USB cabel from tp-link to camera or camera cabel from box is ok?

Tnx,
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
(1) Press the top-left button to turn off liveview OR press the liveview button on your camera so both tablet and camera show you the image. Both methods will allow you to use the controls on the camera again. Alternatively, if your purpose is just to shoot images with your camera and show them on the tablet, go into options (bottom right "cogwheel" icon) and select "Image review - follow shot", which does exactly that.

(2) There's no indicator for this.

(3) It's normally used to display exposure time - helpful for long exposures. In this case it pops up because the camera stops capturing after the last bracketed shot, but its still in "capturing" mode even though no new shots are taken. If you press the shutter button again it'll stop taking shots and the timer goes away.

(4) If you're using the in-camera bracketing, no, it isn't (currently) possible to do that.

The top-left button on the screen, it usuall says "M", "Av", "Tv", etc.

The cable between the camera and TP-Link is just a normal USB cable, nothing special about it. If you use that cable and connect the camera to the computer, can you access the camera from your PC ?

As for the TP-Link did you follow the instructions and flash the special firmware from the DSLR Controller website ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] maximus96:
Thanks for the response for the my questions. I have a follow up for #4.

When I have the camera (5D3) in Av mode, using the exposure meter button to set the 5 or 7-shot brackets works. But when I have the camera (5D MK3) in manual mode, the exposure meter is not click-able so I can't set bracketing that way. When I go thru the settings icon and select HDR/AEB, it only fires the first shot out of the 5 or 7 whether I'm in single shot or high speed burst. Is there a fix for this?

Will it ever be possible to change the shooting mode (M, Av, Tv) thru the app?

Thanks

edit: when i tried to switch off liveview with the top left button (M, Av, Tv), the connection drops drops frequently and DSLR Controller quits out. Everything is right next to each other so connection signal shouldn't be an issue. What's is the cause for the frequent drops?

Thank you for building a fantastic tool Chainfire!

Reporting a successful setup using an HTC Sensation 4G with Cyanogen 10.2.

Had to use a Micro USB Host OTG Cable with Micro USB Power to get my 60D recognized by the app.

I have another setup using a Verizon SGIII stock Andrioid 4.1.2 and a TP-LINK TL-MR3040 v2.2.

Remote shooting works fine but when I do a 5 shot HDR/AEB, the first shot triggers the camera then the app immediately goes through shots 2-5 and goes into "waiting for files to save".

The camera is done saving the first file and is ready to shoot. The app is not frozen though, I can back out of it.

I then tried using the SGIII with the OTG cable directly connected to the camera, and it successfully triggers all 5 shots.

I am able to repeat the issue, please do let me know if you need further information.

Keep up the good work!
