Thanks, Chainfire! I guess I was thinking not in terms of true microadjustment values stored in camera but in terms of faking it using whatever algorithm you utilize for focus bracketing? By the way, are you planning to add +/- focus bracketing at some point?

Hi, i'd like to know this as well. If it does, i'll buy straight away, else i'll try the other free app as a test in a couple of days when i've finished my shoots for the week.

Really excited about using my Galaxy S3 for shooting multibracket HDR shots if possible...

First of all... Great Work!

Works almost flawless on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1!! Best Device IMHO

I have huge problems on my Galaxy Nexus (ICS 4.0.4)

Sometimes i can get it to start via popup but it rarely stays alive for more than 15 seconds. It seams like moving the camera around (tilting/quick panning) causes it to crash faster... (moving the cables has no effect so connection is ok).

Behaviour is the same after flashing the device with fresh downloaded factory image from google using flash-all.sh. I tried 3 different vendors for OTG cable... Render is set to 15fps and performance (render -> Quality does not start and needs force close + clear settings)... Turning of liveview makes it run longer but still crashes after 20-25 seconds. Suggestions?

Feature request: Maybe out of scope but a cool feature i thought of would be using a bt-headset as a remote having the dial button as a trigger, vol up as interval-start and vol down as interval stop, very useful imho.

PS. I bought it for fun but already use it for production with my tablet. I bought it for my wife and kids to even if they dont have dslr:s - LOL

I too have a GTablet running Flashback 7.1. I bought the app before the update made it unavailable from the market, and would like to help figure out how to get it to work with our Gtablets.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
It should, but this specific combination has not been tested.

That certainly is useful that may help solve this!

I'm not sure yet. Video is a bit of an odd beast, that works completely different across models. I need a lot more testing and trying before I'd be able to answer that question.

I have heard of Magic Lantern, but I have never used (or seen) it. I may be looking at it in the future, but it is not high on the list.

I doubt it, yet I hope so :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] cryptyk:
Here's a hardware combination report for you:

Galaxy Tab 10.1 and a Canon EOD 40D.

The app launches, and I can see live view. If I switch camera modes, the app recognizes that.

Apart from that, almost nothing works. Using any of the settings results in the setting name (e.g. Metering Mode) popping up in the middle of the screen. If I then hit "menu", I can see some faint lines under the heading that I believe are menu options that are clipping when they render. If I tap a couple of times, I can select them, but I have no way of knowing the setting that I'm touching because of a lack of label visibility.

Trying to take a picture results in "Image Capture Failed"

Live view also lags, running at around 1fps, if that.

I'm an engineer with a dev setup and a rooted tab. If you want adb logcat dumps, or log file dumps, let me know. Also happy to debug on my own device, if you're willing to trust someone with your codebase. Or, if you also have a tab 10.1 but are lacking a usb host adapter, I can pick one up for you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
The 40D is known (by now) to not work too well with the app. Still trying to figure that out. The problems are probably all related to the busy state. Doing my best to figure it out.

As for the host adapter for the Tab 10.1", I have been informed Friday that it has finally shipped (over 2 weeks after order, ugh) and I should have it in hand tomorrow.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] swansor:
I have this set up and it appears to run fine. I tried various settings and also tried a few things that other Canon users had issue with and I didnt. Moved the focus an changed different camera modes. Zoom worked fine. The horizontal flip was a great add on as the cable/usb adapter can get in the way.

One sggestion I saw which I think would be a great add is the Bulb mode pres to start and press to stop. Would help for night pics.

I did hang the app by accidently disconnecting the USB cable and had to force close it. Would be nice if the code could gracefully handle this but not unusual for a USB disconnect.

Im not a pro by any means and actually am just learning how to get the most out of such a great camera so there may be things I didnt test that a pro would consider routine practice.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tweak41:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MJW:
No, it gives the "Your device is not compatible with USB Host mode' error. I pulled a Logcat listing of what is erroring out and will post it on Slatedroid for the Flashback dev to look at and see if he can figure out what the program is wanting that Flashback is not providing.

Focus Bracketing set up Procedure

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help. I want to use DSLR Controller to produce a stack of 5 to 10 macro images of flowers and insects in the field, so I want the images taken quickly, (just in case the bug flies away) with a change in overall focus position of a few millimetres.

Everything I have tried with DSLR Controllers works fine but I can’t figure out how to set up Focus bracketing to achieve the above and exactly what each of the 4 parameters are doing.

What I would like to do is:-

1.	Focus the camera on one point, (via live view?) and set this as point ”A”, may be the head of the insect.

2.	Move the focus to the end point, (again via live view?) and set this to point “B” may be the tail of the insect.

a.

​

I would expect this to give me the total number of steps the lens needs to move from point A to B, as an example this might be 24 steps

3.	Set the direction of movement – Further or Closer in DSLR Controller

4.	Set either the number of shots I want to take or the number of steps between each frame

a.

​

If I decided 6 shots each shot would be 4 steps apart

b.

​

If I decided 3 steps there would be 8 shots in the above example

5.	Press the shutter button, the camera would move back to point A and start taking the shots.​

The Further/Closer parameter in DSLR Controller is self explanatory but the other 3 parameters, Step, Step Size, (small, med, large) and Shots I’m not sure about. Does “Step” equal the 24 in my above example 2.a? If so I’m not sure why “Step size” and “number of shots” are independently variable, why doesn’t changing one automatically change the other. For example if I set the number of shots to 8 then what is a small/med/large step size going to be?

The other thing I can’t see how to do at the moment is how set points A & B accurately.

Does anyone have a procedure they use for this type of photography?

PS I’m using a Canon 40D and Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 with Android 3.2

Which Galaxy Nexus is this ? International ? Verizon ?

Can you get me a logcat of the crash ?

That bt-headset thing is actually a great idea, I'm going to keep that one in mind :)

Have you read this article ? http://dslrcontroller.com/guide-rmf_focuspull.php

It should explain to you that the 3 speeds (aka step sizes) are not compatible with eachother. You can't set something with one step-size, and trigger capture in another step-size.

It should also be clear that the accuracy depends heavily on camera and lens model, as well as that the set points tend to drift (and thus we should adjust focus as little as possible.

What I would personally do in this situation:

- Switch to R-MF mode (if not set already)

- Select a focus speed (step size) by tap-and-hold on the one of the top row arrow buttons

- Use the bottom row of arrows to navigate to your focus end position

- Tap-and-hold the "A" button to store

- Use the bottom row of arrows to navigate to your focus start position

- Go to "Settings" (cogwheel, bottom right), then "Focus bracketing"

- You should get a popup, select "Bracket to A"

Direction, step, step-size, and shots are now preset. If you press Go, you will get <step> shots from the current focus position back to "A".

Step-size is the focus adjustment size (there are three step sizes aka speeds, they cannot be translated into eachother reliably), step is the number of focus adjustments between shots.

As stated, the numbers are preset for you. They are however not locked. So if you start with step(1) and shots(20), but you want only 10 shots, you would have to manually adjust both shots to 10, as well as step to 2.

In this case, I would not adjust step-size at all - unless you know exactly what effect this has on your lens.

I hope this answers your question :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] theguy:
Firstly, thank you Chainfire for releasing such a brilliant app. It's really well made and absolutely ingenious. Breathes new life in photography.

The app works really well for the most part but I'm facing an issue which I don't believe anyone has brought up (I've spent the last half hour searching on here and reading through your site).

I have a canon rebel t3 (1100D), and a Galaxy Note N7000 running CM9.

The issue is when I use video recording the live image on my note goes to half height on squashes the view down for the duration of the recording. Once I stop recording the view returns to normal and non-distorted.

Is this a documented bug? And what can I do to help fix it?

It's certainly not supposed to happen - and it doesn't happen with my own equipment.

Thanks Chainfire, that worked!

My only comment would be that it resets all of the values at the end of taking the shots. Any chance of being able to re-shoot a stack? (If its easier to programme I think just keeping the A value and number of shots would be fine and re-enter the start point).

Thanks again

5D Mark III Unable to Connect

I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong here, so I'm hoping that someone can offer me some help troubleshooting this. I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 running the June 12 CM9 Nightly. The camera is a Canon 5D Mark III with the 1.1.2 firmware. They are connected via an OTG USB cable (Amazon product ID: B005YWIRBS), and the DSLR Controller app has su access.

When depressing the shutter half-way after connecting the camera to the tablet, I get a "busy" message for a few seconds, but nothing happens on the tablet. On the tablet, opening up DSLR Controller indicates that it is not supported.

Looking at previous posts in this thread, I have also tried with the official Samsung USB converter, and have also used several different USB cables to connect the OTG host cable to the camera (including the one that came with my 5D Mk III).

I also pulled open the USB Host Diagnostics tool, and using that, I am seeing that under Android API, "Claims Supported" and "Classes found" is yes, but "Device detected" is no, however "Device detected" is yes under Rooted API and Kernel. Using "USB Host Controller" app indicates that the digital camera is successfully connected, and its ID is 323a:04a9. Hopefully that helps.

If you can give me any suggestions where to look to troubleshoot this, or any logs or such that could help in figuring out where the issue lies, I would appreciate it.

500D not recognised on Acer A500

I apologise if this has already been asked, but I'm unable to get DSLR Controller to recognise my 500D on the Acer Iconia A500 tablet. App says that it is unable to find a compatible camera. I've already tried the tricks mentioned previously like starting the app when BUSY is shown on the camera LCD, etc., but I haven't had any luck. The USB Host Controller app recognises that a Canon camera is connected to the tablet.

My 500D is on the 1.1.0 firmware (tried 1.1.1 but it didn't work either), A500 is on Thor's ICS ROM. USB cable is a mere 2ft long, so I guess the length wouldn't be a problem?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] J3ss:
"Could not find a compatible camera." :(

I hate to make another "help" post - but I've tried everything I can think of and some of the suggestions here and I'm not having any luck.

I'm using Remote Release right now to check compatibility as was suggested and If I can get it working I'll buy the full app.

I'm getting the same error as the last few posts, "Could not find a compatible camera." Which is pretty easy to understand and I would have given up had the T1i/500D not been listed as a compatible camera.

I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus (OTA 4.0.4) and a T1i/500D with 1.1.1. I normally run Magic Lantern but I've tried it with and without.

I'm using a "SANOXY Micro USB OTG to USB 2.0 Adapter" from Amazon.

I've tried two different cables, one of them being the cable included with my camera, the other is a 3ft random cable I had in my cable drawer.

I tried adjusting the C.Fn settings, tried the Busy thing. Not sure what else to do. I would love for this to work so, any help would be much appreciated.

[first post here...]

I am a Canon DSLR owner (500D) with a great interest in 'remote control' camera operation, but currently without any sort of Android device. This app interests me very much! Depending on reviews, my very first Android tablet will be the soon-to-be-released Asus Nexus 7 inch (my assumption is that a USB-host connector is present, but I have no idea). Later, maybe the new ASUS Infinity.

My primary interest in 'remote control' camera operation is astronomy (as some others have also mentioned). One of the great cross-platform apps available for this is EOS-MOVREC:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/eos-movrec/

It also presents a 'live view' of what the Canon DSLR is seeing, and allows one to control ISO/shutter speed/etc. However, it saves the video stream into an AVI file on the host PC (codec is MJPEG I believe). This video file can then be used in astronomical 'stacking' software for image enhancement.

EOS-MOVREC also has the extremely useful ability to record a 5X 'zoom' crop of any desired portion of the field-of-view (as well as the benefit of providing a magnified image for focus on stars, etc.). This 'crop' video greatly reduces the space required for the object of interest, if selected.

Now, DSLR-Controller (on Android) would seem to be a perfect candidate to replace to functionality of EOS-MOVREC (on a PC) -- but even more so if the off-camera AVI and 5X zoom features were present. Comments?

Thanks for such a great app!

P.S. For sure the ability to use BULB mode in timelapse mode is needed for astronomy (exposures can easily be over 30 seconds).

P.P.S. One of the things that confuses me about EOS-MOVREC (and unfortunately the developers are in Russia, which might be a bit of a language barrier) is that the menu allows shutter speeds of up to 8 seconds (I think), but the video file is still being created at 20-30fps. Obviously the long exposure setting, in this case, is not being honored :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Aymara:
For photographic use 7 inch would be too small for my taste. On a 10 inch screen you see more details ... I still ove my Asus Transformer ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] darethehair:
I'd probably agree with you if I had a 7 inch and 10 inch tablet to compare with :)

Actually, I am interested in the Asus Nexus 7 inch initially because:

- reasonable/lower price

- portability

Both of these factors would make me feel a bit more comfortable taking it out with a telescope/mount 'in the wild'.
