Not sure where I even implied that. I'm here ergo I need help. Apologies if you think that's what I came over as but it simply isn't the case.

Ah right - now I see what you are after. I don't have any usb keys with lights on so tried a mouse and it didn't light up. Checked in tweaks and I have "USB Host Mode" and "External VBus" ticked on. Tried the 3 variations on which are / aren't on and no joy with any of those.

I followed the link from the DSLR Devices page purchased the equivalent from my country. Is there a way to tell if its "genuine" or not? Is there something written, logo maybe on the cable that would tell me?

I haven't but then that's only because I'm only trying to use this with this app. And it's own directions pointed me here.

Off to read that now and ask over there because it seems, as you say, that this may be something to do with the NC or possibly the actual modding of the NC in the first place.

Thanks for the pointers and the assist this far.

I was happy then. So last night I got ready to shoot the SuperMoon.

Imagine my disappointment and frustration when I discovered that v0.94.1 had scrambled the improvements that had made 0.93 work so well. I could have taken photos of the language I was using!

So, for me with my 5d2 and with both GT-P7510 and i515, same behaviour: DSLRC locks up the Tab tighter than a drum (took 4 attempts, including full resets of the Tab and the camera before I could even get it to load) i515 hardly better.

It again seems to be something to do with the focus, because if I can get it to load then as soon as I try focusing on screen - TROUBLE.

Nook Color forum has helped me - don't know what it is / does but they got me to run "busybox dmesg" in terminal app and now the app works.

However this still leaves me with one of my original questions - where do I find the memory limit setting please so I can up that?

I have been experimenting with software called LRTimelpase and have found excellent results with very little effort. I am not sure I would spend much time working on Bramping, chainfire as this software, which is donation-ware, is killer. I shot a timelapse of the supermoon this weekend from day to night with no flicker after processing it via LRTimelapse. I had it composed to shoot with my dolly, but when the magic moment came, the motor was dead so I just let DSLR Controller shoot the HDR timelapse with my 40D while I shot regular with my 5D Mark II. Now I need 2 long lenses: one for regular shooting and the other for timelapse. :)

Does this support Galaxy S gt i9000?

And how to host a usb
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Robertski:
Can a laptop or Netbook running Android work for dslrcontroller?

Has anyone used a desktop, Laptop, or Netbook with Android installed to operate DSLRcontroller? Is USB on a real computer by default a USB HOST- OTG?

I googled "how-to-run-android-on-your-netbook", and found several options.

I don't yet have a compatible Cell phone (LG Optimus).

I do have an Asus Netbook (EEE PC 1005HA)

and Toshiba Laptop (Win7 64)

Thanks, I'm eager to try the app with a Canon 60D.

I use DSLR controller a lot with my 7D, now I'm planning the upgrade to 5D3.

I've also a usb-host card reader for backup the files on card... but.... any way of viewing these cr2 files once they are in phone memory?

For those wondering why I've not been responding much, I've been out of the country for a week, and have spent the time since I've been back celebrating my birthday and catching up on a LOT of matters :)

Well, the follow focus capabilities in the latest DSLR Controller version are similar, with A-B control and such? What exactly are you looking for?

The method is obviously different, DSLR Controller doesn't support Wii controllers, and uses USB focus control instead of servo-rings...

Are you shooting in JPG or RAW+JPG ? Followshot doesn't work in RAW-only mode.

Yes, I understand this, however, there are other things that also still need to be built. I can't give everything priority!

I am however considering a plugin system so people can build their own "triggers", so to speak.

Not sure what to say to this. If ML Remote works so should Remote Release and DSLR Controller.

It's usually configured in /system/build.prop

Nice video and software - I must try this out. I was not planning on making the bramper too elaborate... Actually I'm thinking of scrapping it for v1.0 release.

The Galaxy S1 is not "really" supported. It is possible to use DSLR Controller with custom kernel that enabled USB host and with external power (like powered USB hub), but it isn't very practical.

I don't think anybody has actually tried ...

Not yet, but as soon as DSLR Controller supports transferring files between camera and Android device, there will also be an offline viewer.

We'll I paid for the app in case it was DSLR remote that wasn't working.

It didn't work. I tried to refund after 3 minutes but there was no refund option. I think it is due to the timezone diference? It was 6.40pm here but the email reciept said order was at 10.40. (I'm in the uk)

Could you please look into my refund?

Anyone know why my canon 7d isn't picked up by my tablet? Its running ics 4.0.3
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TheZuneLune:
Happy birthday - hope it was grand :)

I guess I was more wondering about DSLR Controller and other peripherals like external focus rings or dolly/slider motors (Arduino) :)

Thanks - used DSLR controller HDR timelapse settings (5 exposure HDR) to shoot the timelapse on my 40D :) If DSLR controller ever works on my phone I will be able to use it with both cameras. (wishful thinking, I know)

A few questions:

Which tablet?

Rooted/Not rooted?

If rooted, which ROM?

Are you using micro USB/regular USB? What kind of cable? How long is the cable?

ave you checked your camera settings and read the FAQ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mr_pablo:
1. Which tablet?

Sumvision Cyclone Astro + (momo9 /scroll excel clone)

2. Rooted/Not rooted?

rooted

3. If rooted, which ROM?

it came with ICS v4.0.3

4. Are you using micro USB/regular USB? What kind of cable? How long is the cable?

Using the included OTG cable with a mini usb cable in the camera (kind used to attach to PC) its less then a metre. Tried a second mini usb cable that was a bit longer.

5. ave you checked your camera settings and read the FAQ?

Read FAQ. No settings on the 7D to change.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I really don't know what could be happening with your tablet or why it doesn't work. These things are very hard to diagnose without me having the device in my hand.

Please note that I do not control the refunds you can get yourself in Google Play. This is all Google-controlled. If you want a refund from me, follow the instructions here: http://dslrcontroller.com/faq.php#refund. It's the only way I can refund your money.

Thanks :)

As for controlling, not in the short term, but I hope other will be able to connect external controls with the DSLR Controller app in the future.

Awesome upgrades, and it works great on Galaxy Tab 10.1
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] msatter:
This seems to be the same tablet as the Momo9C extended.

Look at this google translation and you can try the ROM of the 17th of April (20120417). I can run DSLR controller on my tablet however I have restart DSLR controller a few times before it sticks.

http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=nl&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ployer.cn%2Fprshow.asp%3Fid%3D112%26p%3Dzc

It is the Chinese version so you have to remember how you change your language in the settings blind because it is starting in Chinese. You have to remove some software that comes included with the ROM because the are for the Chinese market.

This ROM is not working 100% so if you have any doubt then please follow the refund instructions as stated by Chainfire.

I'm wondering - would it be feasible to implement programming of EMF chips? That and storing multiple lens profiles in the app - oh, that would be priceless.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] starfcker69:
I'm using DSLR Controller with a Canon 5D II / Acer A500 ICS, and it's working great!

Is there an alternate capture button - in addition to the capture button on the Android device? I really need to use a remote release connected to the camera, or the shutter release on the camera body.

Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tornadolf:
You should be able to use regular remote release simultaneously with controller. If that's what you are asking.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Sorry but I wouldn't know what to log to even begin fixing this. To me this seems like a firmware problem ?

I have no idea about EMF chips ?

As for storing multiple lens profiles, is that in combination with these EMF chips, or something else entirely ? Please elaborate.

I'm not sure what you mean by alternate capture button, please explain in more detail what it is you are after.

Note that usually only works if (a) liveview is also turned on on the camera (press the liveview button to enable LCD) or (b) liveview is disabled both on camera and on android (top-left button in DSLR Controller)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tornadolf:
EMF are programmable chips added to EOS adapters for manual focus lenses, they allow user to program lens parameters - max lens aperture, focal distance and most importantly focus microadjustment value - they do AF confirm as well. But programming takes a bit of time and needs to be redone every time you change lens. Here's how it's done - emfphoto.com/forum/index.php?topic=3.0 . Since all programing is done by pressing buttons on camera I was wondering if this could be done from within the app. Say, to get into the programming you need to

1 Turn camera on and attach adapter with chip,aperture shows F1.4 on camera.

2 set Manual mode.

3 shutter speed to 1/60 second

4 aperture increment step to 1/3 EV. (it is the most Canon digital camera default setting).

5 set the aperture value to F/64 and press shutter button once.

6 set the aperture value to F/57 and press shutter button once.

7 set the aperture value to F/64 and press shutter button once.

8 Turn the aperture dial, set the Max aperture to F1.0.

All this could be reduced to pressing a single button that would send out a batch command couldn't it? The parameter set for a each lens then could be saved on SD card and simply called up when needed.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] msatter:
I think the original cable from Canon even to long and I am using the same shortcable you have for your tablet and 60cm normal usb cable.

Also other devices as a computer and WiFi can make the connection less stable. And as written before it is very tricky to connect.

In Belgium a guy is working on a custom ROM for this tablet and when he is ready I will check again if the complete USB support is present in that ROM and working.

I will send you a message with a link were you can download it when I know more.

I am using a rooted Galaxy Nexus with stock rom, and a Canon T1i.

I keep having a problem where live view does not work until I go to the camera and click on the Live View settings. It's already enabled - I need to hit enable again, and my phone screen suddenly shows something. It works for one picture, then back to black screen, and back to the camera to re-hit enable live view.

What on earth could be causing this?

Scared to root

Hi guys, I'm a VERY happy DSLR Controller user however I've changed from my SGSII to a Galaxy Note and I'm nervous about rooting this one :confused:

I'm on Android 2.3.6

Baseband: N7000XXLB2

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLC1-CL1003701 se.infra@SEP-53 #2

Build: GINGERBREAD.XXLC1

I've read so many threads about yellow triangles, counters, chances of bricking etc that my head's in a spin. I'm very confident about my ability to do it just not sure what you recommend as the safest way to root.

I'd love your feedback - I'm definitely not a newbie but strangely nervous..

Thanks in advance!

Defy CM9 & Remote Release / DSLR controller

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get Remote Release working on my defy (CM9-0508 epsy) but i can't.

Lots of sudo requests comes up even with remember checked, it is as if my Canon 500D (rebel T1i) wasn't even connected.

My question is :

Does the problem comes from my phone (Motorola Defy (red)) or CM9 nightlies ?

Hi!

I have Galaxy Note 2.3.5 rooted and 5D mark2. Each time I run DSLR Controller I recieve two types of errors: application do not lunch and says "could not find a compatible camera..." or it begin to work for a couple of seconds and then says "communication error.."

One time the App hanged up my camera so I had to remove the battery to reset it.

What could be the cause of all this?

Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zahar_a:
took another usb cable and now its much better but still doesn't work close to monitor and PC)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
You need yet a better cable. Make sure your connector is also good (if you need an OTG connector).

Seems to be a pretty common problem, and apparently worse on the Note. Not sure why that is.

But what it indeed comes down to is radio interference on the cable.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I'm not sure about custom ROMs but I think at least on the official ROM, USB host is disabled on this device.

You don't necessarily need to root, upgrading to ICS will also do the trick for the N7000.

It's the Defy... Motorola's don't generally support USB host.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zahar_a:
Does the App have a depth of field preview mode?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Yes, press-and-hold the aperture button for DoF preview
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] msatter:
As promised I would post again when the new ROM was ready for the device. Sadly the USB host is not working in this version for DLSR controller. It will now support an external Bluetooth adapter what is also nice if you want to connect a GPS mouse.

I have restored my Chinese version of the ROM and DSLR controller is working again.

I am sorry that I can't help you more on this.

expanding to more than three bracketed images

A limitation of my EOS camera (7D) is that is restricted to 3 bracketed images. I have heard of remotes that allow bracketing sequences of up to 9 images. Will this app let me do that, and if not, will the full version?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tornadolf:
You can do 9, you can do more, you can select the range of exposure, you can select the amount of exposure compensation from step to step, you can control how autofocus works - it has an awesome ability to turn it off after the first shot.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bgtip:
Thank you for the great app.

Is it possible to work with autofocus on Canon 40D?

It shows R-MF in the app.

In Live View on camera I can focus pressing AF-On button.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Sorry, AF does not work on the 3x, 3xx, 4x and 4xx series :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bgtip:
Wow, no need for "sorry", Chainfire. Your application is absolutely fantastic.

I can't possibly tell you how happy it makes me. Ecstatic actually.

Thank you.

===Edit===

There is autofocus in HDR mode - if I select "Focus on first shot" camera (Canon 40D) responds and refocuses. Probably there is no autofocus in Live View mode only.

Thanks again.

Fully charged battery of Canon 40D finished in about 90 minutes, though LCD monitor on camera wasn't working. Is this normal?

Feature request

What a great app. Purchased galaxy tab 2.7.0 just for this app. I have feature request which would nice to have when using ND filters. An option to select a type of filter that we can use for e.g. 2 stop, 3 stop, 8 stop or 10stop (like the lee big stopper) or stacking multiple ND filters, and the shutter speed would be automatically calculated based on the ND filter selection. I keep a small lookup table created in excel in my wallet, but it would nice to have it built into the app for taking long exposure shots using ND filters.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Ah yes, regarding AF, what I meant is DSLR Controller cannot trigger auto-focus without also triggering a capture. This is possible on newer models. I should have been clearer on that.

I have no idea about specific numbers for the 40D, but liveview does use a lot of power on the camera. When you're not using it, turn it off (top-left button on DSLR Controller).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Could you give an example using 2-stop ND filter? I don't understand exactly how this would be used.

I can imagine you mean the shutter time needs to go up by 2 stops ( 1/20 --> 1/5 ) or down ( 1/5 --> 1/20 ), but I don't know which one you mean, and I don't understand why.

(Obviously I know about ND filters, but if you have them screwed on your lens, wouldn't the exposure by determined correctly by the camera already ?)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ngocdao:
Auto bracket HDR works awesome!!!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] monty87:
The shutter time would be increased by number of stops of ND filter used. So if you place 2 stop ND filter then your shutter time would be increased by 2 stop. (1/60 --> 1/15). Now if you are using only single filter 1 stop or 2 stop ND filter, the camera can determine the correct exposure, but once we start stacking multiple filters (like the LEE system) or use the large 10 stop filter, it becomes necessary to meter the scene in M mode before adding the filters, and then adjust the shutter speed based on the ND stops used.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zahar_a:
A small addition to the "Grid and aspect ratio overlays" section. It would be great to add golden ratio, golden triangles and golden spiral and make it possible to flip them vertical and horizontal.

Also it is not very convenient for me to switch to full screen preview mode (no buttons) but i like to use it often) Some one probably often uses other modes from the Settings menu so I had the idea to add a customizable button on the screen so every one could assign to it his favorite function for easy and fast access.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tornadolf:
Chainfire,

It's not really a feature request, just an idle thought... I wonder - is focus microadjustment feasible?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] vexx786:
Man I absolutely love this app. One quick question though. On full manual on a 5dmk2, when I tap the screen to autofocus, it doesn't tell me how the exposure is on the bottom. But on our mk3 it does, is this just a bug, or a limitation of the camera?

Nexus S 4G compatibility

I have a Nexus S 4G. The app store shows version 0.94.1 is available for my phone.

My only question is which cable do I need?

Thanks in advance!

Mark
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
So how exactly do you want me to help in this? The metering info is not standard, I cannot really base software decisions on it. How do you see this? Extra buttons in shutter speed (+X stops), or... ?

I'll look into those golden overlays :)

There is still space left for two buttons - after the recent button cleanup. I am juggling with the features I still want to implement and the ability for a custom button. I think in the end we will get at least one customizable button.

The microadjustment settings themselves are buried deep inside C.Fn. I do not modify any C.Fn. stuff because it is very dangerous. Should a value be set wrong, it will "brick" your camera.

If it's just the measurement, that's theoretically possibly. I have discussed this with Reikan, but there are no concrete plans for this at the moment.

The mk3 sends extra information I display. Various cameras have various ways of dispatching metering information to the device connected over USB, and some cameras do not send anything at all. I suspect the latter is the case for the mk2.

Sorry, but I believe the Nexus S 4G is not compatible (never believe the app store's compatibility statement... it's wrong more often than it's right)

Galaxy Note ICS success

I have an ATT (i717) Note running the latest leaked ICS (4.0.4) and the beta works well with my 40D...at least as well as expected given the limitations of the older model camera, as detailed here. I'm using an OTG short usb host cord I got on amazon for like a buck, connected to the originally provided canon usb cord (about 2m long)

Some anomalies while running - I think the camera continues to read "busy" and never returns to liveview or shooting mode after going to playback or review in the app, but a reset or replug seems to solve that. So far it looks like a winner. seems about as functional with this camera as Canon's windows remote software, well suited to careful table-top object work, etc, where neither auto-focus or continuous release are needed. The Note screen's pixel count and size make it a real benefit over the 40D's relatively poor lcd.

Iphone screen is looking smaller all the time.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] monty87:
The extra buttons in shutter speed would work and probably keep it simple too. Something like +1 to +10 stops.
