Hi there,

I had a search of the thread and saw some people having similar issues, but all using USB connection to camera, so I thought I'd ask as I've tried their fixes:

I'm using an EOS 1300D with a couple of android devices (one plus one and nexus 7). What I want is to be able to review images on one of these devices as I shoot. I understand that I should therefore be using image review follow. I've tried this, and I've tried disabling live view on start, but whenever there is a WiFi connection to the camera, it displays "busy" in the viewfinder and I can't shoot from the camera itself. Is this normal? I'm a little bit frustrated as this was the whole reason for upgrading to a camera with built in WiFi!

Can't Connect to Camera: Please Help

Hi there!

Just bought a TP-Link TL-MR3040 but I can't get it to connect to my Canon Rebel T5i and I have no clue what I'm doing wrong.

Info:

- Connecting to the TP-Link with A/V cable to USB cable

- Trying to connect to an iPhone 6s

- I can connect to the DSLR Controller wi-fi network fine from my phone, but when I open the DSLR controller app, nothing shows up. I have the camera on live-view, too.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? If you could help or have any suggestions that would be awesome. Thanks :)

DSLR controller stopped recognizing 5dmark iii since udpate

Thank you for this thread - I have not used one before and so I hope I am entering my question correctly.

I have used DSLR controller with my 5D Mark III and Samsung s3 for a number of years both via USB directly and via TL-MR3046 wifi connection.

I just tried it again after a number of months and am getting a message that a camera was found but a connection could not be made. I have tried reconnecting, restarting etc but nothing works.

when I initially connect the pop up does not come up but rather it loads the phones photo gallery app. then when I select the dslr controller app I get the above error

sometimes I get a pop up asking to allow the app Gallery to access the USB device and once DSLR controller actually started but stopped again and presented the same error message.

OpenWRT firmware for MR3020

Hello,

Does anyone have DSLR Controller's OpenWRT firmware for TP-link MR3020? Or knows how to modify the firmware to work with DSLRController?

MR3040 is no longer available and is quite difficult to get one even secondhand.

Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] cdvideo:
I know I asked this before and your answer was to use Magic Lantern but ML does not work with the 7DMII and some other cameras. What I asked was that can you incorporate motion detection. I some times setup my camera within 3 feet of a bird feeder and prop and it it would be nice to have the camera take image automatically, as I some times use 2 cameras the other being a 400mm from a distance so it is hard to operate both at the same time.

I have used the MD in ML on the 5D MII but it only takes one photo then wants to display it then take another prohibiting high shutter speed, where DSLR controller will keep shooting until I press the shutter again.

App works with USB cable but does not work with WiFi (via MR3040)

I have Canon 5D MkIII. I recently purchased a locally (in India) made TAB running under Android 6.x. dsrlcontroller works perfectly fine with the TAB using a USB cable. However when I try to use the app through WiFi (using MR 3040), the app does not recognize the camera. Some times it gives an error "A camera was found but a connection could not be established. Please switch off and switch on the camera and try again". If I switch off and switch on the camera then the app simply refuses to recognize the camera. I presume as the app works via USB cable, the TAB is compatible with the App.

Also if I use my cellphone Google Nexus 5X (running under Android 7.1.1) then the app works fine via both the USB cable and WiFi (via MR 3040). So there is no setup problem with MR 3040.

Any solution to this issue of app not working via WiFi on the TAB?

Hello Chainfire,

first and foremost thanks for the great work! You helped me to accomplish many things, saved my time and solve problems that would cost much or were undoable to me without your apps. I have a question/idea. Would it be in any way possible to control one or more DSLRs through your app? The idea is to build a setup with two or more Canon 6D DSLRs with the exact same settings to have a camera setup for stacking pictures (take many pictures from a slightly different angle) to achieve superresolution images in the post process and lower noise. Another application would be to set off the cameras to take pictures which are slightly overlapping to achieve a lot of pictures to stitch panoramas (takes a lot of time to do astronomy pictures this way and the sky does not care and moves along). A problem would propably be the throughput of the USB port to get live view, but it would not be that important to have them at once (maybe switching of live view feed?), after all, they will have the same settings. Would it also be possible to sync the focusing through motorised lenses? I would make a donation but I have not much and do not have an true idea of the scale of the work needed to make this happen. Thank you for your time! :)

-Solved- Connection Issus and Camera Handle Mod

Hello,

After quite some major changes to the TP link router I managed to install it in a Chinese camera handle for my 700D.

The managing web interface works fine but the connection to the camera is useless since it just works in 1 out of 10 trays and than it typically aborts after 10 seconds.

Since the router is modified heavily I would like to know whether there are any tools to analyse the connection between camera and router a little bit deeper to be shure that the cause of the problems are the modifications (had to select all connectors in the palatine and connect the usb cable directly).

Thanks in advance

Eric

--EDIT--

Hi again,

I figured the problem out on my own, but found nothing in the internet about this porblem, thats why I would suggest to but this in the FAQ?!

When my cell phone was connecting to the TP-Link Router it was always mentioning that it does not get Internet access via this connection, I ignored this message but it turned out that as long as I didn't confirmed this message I got the problem to connect the App to my camera.

Since some of you may be interested in the mod I did find attached 2 pictures. If anybody is really interested I will try to supply some additional.

Focus Bracketing A to B

Chainfire,

I also cannot make focus bracketing A to B work. I purchased DSLR Controller specifically for macro photography using the A to B Focus Bracketing.

I've tried multiple bodies (Canon 5D Mark IV and 7D Mark II), multiple lenses (Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 macro and 35mm f/2.0 IS), multiple Android devices (Samsung Galaxy 5 and Tab S), and both wireless and USB connectivity.

Any combination of the devices listed above gives the same results.

Steps taken:

Set focus mode to R-MF.

Set near focus point.

Press and hold lower case a until it becomes a green upper case A.

Set far focus point.

Press and hold lower case b until it becomes a green upper case B.

Tap A and camera refocuses to A

Press the gear to go to the options screen.

Tap Focus Bracketing

Tap Bracket to B

At this point the same screen that is used for manually selecting Focus Bracketing settings appears.

Pressing Go takes a few photos beginning wherever the focus is set to and then stops.

It does not go from A to B.

Additionally, when using A to B mode, more often than not I receive a Communications Error during the third or fourth shot. The only way to clear this in the camera is by removing the battery for a few seconds and then re-inserting it.

Thanks,

Ed Yoho

Are there issues with Samsung Galaxy S6 and Nougat (Android 7.0)

Hello Chainfire,

actually I've got some issues with DSLR Controller that are new to me and I would like to ask if it is a general issue or if it is related to my configuration.

Used HW:

Canon EOS 7D Mark II with W-E1 (WLAN)

Samsung S4 - Android 5.1.1

Asus ZenPad 3S 10 - Android 6.0.1

Samsung S6 - Android 7.0 (Device is new. I made the upgrade to Android 7.0 immediately and cannot give any information regarding Android 6)

Used SW:

DSLR Controller 1.0.2

Canon Camera Connect 2.0.20.27 (build 484)

Config that works well:

7DMkII <-- DSLR Controller --> Samsung S4 (Android 5)

7DMkII <-- DSLR Controller --> Asus ZenPad

7DMkII <-- Camera Connect --> Samsung S6 (Android 7)

Config that does not work:

7DMkII <-- DSLR Controller --> Samsung S6 (Android 7)

What are the steps that I have tested:

1. Initiated from Camera

Start with 7DMkII setup of WLAN

Scan with Samsung S6

Setup WLAN Connection with Samsung S6 (stable)

Start of DSLR Controller -> Could not establish the connection to 7DMkII

2. Initiated from Mobile (Samsung S6)

Started a Mobile Hotspot on the Mobile (Samsung S6)

Connected with 7DMkII to the Hotspot

Start of DSLR Controller -> Could not establish the connection to 7DMkII

Question:

Are there any general issue with Samsung S6 together with Android 7.0? (Device should be ok. Camera Connect does work!)

Best regards,

Jochen

Note 4 Charging when using DSLR Cont

Just wondering how users are getting around using the usb port to use DSLR Cont and charging the phone at the same time.

Is it as simple as buying a dual cable from Ebay.

I am currently using a Galaxy Note 4 with a Canon 6D which work very nicely but cant use the phone with camera and charge at the same time?

I am really wanting to use the cable connection rather than bluetooth to avoid any lag.

Focus Bracket Interval?

I love DSLR Controller. I recently bought an ASUS Zen tablet just to use DSLR Controller on it for focus stacking.

When doing focus bracketing, is there a way to control the time between exposures?

The number of exposures can often exceed 75. This could potentially beat a flash unit to death. I'd like to be able to allow the flash some recovery time between exposures so that it doesn't shut down due to overheating.

Is there a setting for this?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
You can set the "Strobe recharge delay" under DSLR Controller settings. That should introduce a delay between any two shots.

SOLVED: Are there issues with Samsung Galaxy S6 and Nougat (Android 7.0)

Hello Chainfire,

just wanted to give you some feedback to my last successful tests

This weekend I was able to test again and finally found the way to use the DSLR Controller (Samsung S6 with Android 7.0) together with my 7DMkII.

What have I done different to the last try?

While I used a direct WLAN connection for the ASUS and Samsung S4, I tried to use the WLAN Tethering for the the S6.

Steps:

S6: Setup -> Connections -> Mobile Hotspot and Tethering -> Mobile Hotspot -> Switch to "on" (sorry if some menu entries are slightly different, because I had to translate the German entries)

7DMkII (with W-E1): WLAN-Functions -> Connect with Smartphone -> Choose a Config Set -> Choose Network -> OK -> Choose S6 Access Point -> Choose the Key format -> OK -> Enter the Key that is configured for the S6 Access Point -> Menu (OK) -> Auto Config -> OK

DSLR Controller: Start App

Tip: I've used the App "Wifi Tethering Widget" to switch on/off the Mobile (WLAN) Hotspot easily

Best regards,

Jochen

DSLR Controller - Recommended Tablets

Make a monitor WiFi via the TP Link?

Greetings to all,

I have searched through dozens of pages on this forum looking for my answer. Please forgive me if I have missed it.

I built a motion control head for my niece's Canon 6D camera that uses an app on a tablet for control via Bluetooth. I also purchased DSLRcontroller and the TP Link router and performed the firmware update. My question: is it possible to equip a 7" hdmi monitor to receive the WiFi video from the TP Link? I'm not looking to control the camera, just view the video from the camera. I'm assuming it can't be as simple as plugging a dongle into the monitor. In researching this I see several devices that may or may not work. So before wasting money I thought I would ask the pros. If possible, any product recommendations would be appreciated. I'm a machinist/mechanic by trade, and somewhat tech savvy, but have no higher-end camera experience at all. My niece graduates college this year with a degree in digital media. This rig I built is her gift. Researching this project was fun. The video feed is the last item I'd like to add to have it completed.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Bug report, feature request

Hello, Chainfire!!!

First let me thank you for your great software. Than, I want to report a couple of bugs and ask for some feature(s).

I want to use DSLR Controller as a monitor for video on 1Dx MKII. It has great features for that - zebras, histogram, level, touch focus , and so on. Problems:

1. Level circle becomes lit with white inside as recording starts. No possible to see whats going inside, and it's big enough to make it unacceptable.

2. Focus sqare has wrong position(higher, than actual) and, i misconcept, why it's doubled?

3. DSLR Controller window ignores disabled "Auto rotate" system setting and keeps rotating as i move the camera.

Proposal: So, you already can estimate under/overexposure, why not implement some ETTR via correcting exposure compensation(or ISO, Aperture, Shutter speed) on the fly? It would be a killer feature for video. I shoot a long time with Magic lantern, and now I change compensation to ETTR manually before start to shoot the scene. But the volume of compensation depend on scene, and if scene changes while shooting, I get under or (more dramatically) overexposed shot.

Thank you.

In addition to the TP-Link MR3040, the Nexx WT3020 is now also supported to become a wireless module for your camera to communicate with DSLR Controller:

http://dslrcontroller.com/guide-wifi_wt3020.php

This wireless router is about $15, but does not come with its own battery.

This is really only for those who can no longer find the MR3040.

A proper successor would be the just-released TP-Link WR902AC, and with that we may finally see some improved performance over Wi-Fi as well (possibly much faster than some camera's built-in Wi-Fi as well). But unfortunately it is not yet supported by OpenWRT.

450D hangs after exit

Hello everyone,

I cannot find the answer anywhere so I hope someone could help me out. Could be very simple... or not.

My EOS 450D works perfect with DSLR Controller, I can do almost everything I need so no complains with the software at all, but when I click on "exit" and program closes, the camera screen remains on for just one second and then goes off and I cannot activate liveview, any button works so the camera locks up. I need either switch the camera off and on or disconnect and reconnect the OTG cable. The moment I disconnect the OTG cable I can take all controls again, so DSLR Controller "capture" the camera somehow when exit and there is no other options unless you do what I said.

I cannot find any solution to this, even no success when resetting all parameters. Does anyone sound it familiar? Is there any possible solution to that?

Thank you for your help!.
