Neither nor I think. Lot's of implementations just don't meet the specs and companies alway have good reasons to do so :). The Galaxy Note is a good example: I finally found a hint, that the OTG mode is obviously supporting 200mA output current from the phone. That's no standard at all. USB only specifies 100 or 500mA power (low & high). On the other hand, even the 500mA are very close to drive any 2.5" HD - some will work, some not. So alot of Notebook companies meanwhile supply a lot more current - not the specs, but better for the customer in this case. I can imagine right away, that cable length according to the specs was no big deal to violate, when it came to power consuming techniques for the smart phones. A good line driver needs some current. 'Castrate' it a bit and you save precious power for the cost of cable lenght - but how many customers look at the max. cable in OTG mode and how many customers look at a good battery life :D? Richt! So overall I would never expect a device to follow each and every specification in the USB papers.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Not sure really. The display thing is weird, those differences show for me in liveview, and definitely in the images. I also ahve a Galaxy Nexus running 4.02 and it works fine on that for me as well.

Do you have exposure simulation enabled in your camera's liveview setting? What about video? Enabling that apparently disabled various liveview functionality on the 5Dm2.

well I got a powered hub, but no luck with the OTG cable connected and hub powered, I will need help looking for kernel that has it, I searched all over and I cant seem to find a kernel that states usb host capability for the Glacier :/

CM 7.1 has it in change log but I'm running the other kernel and not default one... I'll have to switch back to stock to verify for sure, but the one im running isnt working

Any suggestions what Kernels I should try? besides going back to default CM 7.1? for mytouch 4g

Not working :(

Hello!

Sorry for not reading through 130+ pages of this thread, so if someone else already asked this, please let me know, but I have a problem

I checked on the DSLR Controller homepage and found that I can use it, so the joy was enormous :)

But...

I have a stock Galaxy Nexus with ICS 4.0.2 and an EOS 600D but when I connect them with the OTG cable and start the app I get a message that it cant' find a compatible camera or it may not be turned on...blablabla. I checked everything but still nothing :(

Is there a possibility that the OTG cable has some problems...?

Is this verizon or international Galaxy Nexus ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jguerdat:
Just tried resetting the whole camera in case I had something stupid set. I have only stills enabled in liveview with stills display rather than exposure simulation. I find that changes in shutter speed and f-stop are noted in DC only after focusing which is fine once I found that out. In Av or Tv changing the appropriate control results in the same exposure display because the other control moves to correct the exposure - no surprise there. Now, however, in M I can change ISO, shutter speed or f-stop with absolutely no change in the display. So, it seems like I wasn't operating DC with understanding earlier but for the life of me I don't understand why M has no control over the displayed exposure.

Ah, maybe I don't understand what I need to set in Liveview - while typing this I changed Liveview to exposure simulation and M changes as you'd expect. Is this spelled out someplace or am I like my wife says - can't find anything that's right in front of me??

T-Mobile SGS2 T989 or Galaxy Player 5.0 YP-G70

Anyone have any ideas how to enable USB Host on any of these devices?

I tried the Zedomax Kernel for T-mobile SGS2 T989 but it says USB Host not enabled.

Do I have to revert to an older version of Android? I'm running the latest Juggernaut 2.3.6

Galaxy Player there's not enough development so I don't have high hopes for it. But just checking in case someone found a solution

Huawei mediapad

Hi there,

I wan´t to buy a Huawei mediapad to use it with DSLR control and my Canon 60D (mostly for using it as a video control monitor).

Is this device working with DSLR control, are there any experiences with it?

I wan´t to use a device with 7", what are my opinions if the mediapad fails?

I am running CM9 0.6 on a touchpad. I managed to read/write a USB drive with the cable I have, but sadly remote shutter won't recognize my camera (5dmk2).

After plugging the cable I get a Busy message on the camera when I try to focus for about 5 seconds, then everything goes back to normal :(

Anyone got it working with CM9 on a touchpad?

Histogram is there, but the first row just below the image is not visible.

I tested with different quality mode, and found that this problem happens when I shoot in raw WITHOUT jpg. With jpg info is there.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] manufan4eva:
Today i was looking at a product called the Okii follow focus. Im pretty sure it uses the same method as dslr controller to control the camera. So maybe in future revisions, you could add something like this follow focus, to make fulling focus for video 10x easier. I could imagine you guys pulling in a lot of money from it.

Just a question among DSLR users :): Anyone who has the Devolo A1 (IdeaPad) in use with DSLR Controller? I just ordered one, since at 159€ it seemed unresistable cheap at Amazon :D. I know, I will have to root it (Android 2.3.6), but apart from that: any restrictions to run it with DSLR Controller?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nutterguy:
Awesome!

Just bought this and I am so happy with it! Thank you Chainfire! :-D

As a tip to anyone else having problems, My SGSII would not work at all with one Motorola OTG cable but the official Samsung one works fine.

It's also very important what order you plug things in, if I do it one way it all works, another and it only works for maybe 10 seconds and then quits.

You must plug in the camera and OTG cable, power up the camera and then plug it all into the phone.

I have also found that if you want to do a timelapse turning on flight mode is a good idea. My phone restarted at one point during one as I got a text. I'm sure this will get more stable though when this leaves beta. :-)

FYI: I'm using a Canon 7D (Firmware v.1.2.5) connected to my international (Irish) SGSII (GT-I9100) running 4.0.3 with WanamLite.Stock.XXLP2. If you have the same setup feel free to PM me with Q's. :-)

DSLR Controller v0.87 released !

DSLR Controller has been updated to v0.87 on the Android Market (may take some hours to update). Changes: http://dslrcontroller.com/download.php#changelog-087.

Can people with the following cameras please confirm video still works for them ?

1D, 5D, 7D, 60D

Yeah, moving zoombox is really working on VxWorks-cameras \o/

But one problem: the app takes a lot of time till its ready for use. Before this update I was immediately able to use the app, now I have to wait approx. 1 minute! Anyone else got this prob?

Hi Chainfire,

New version is not working on both a galaxy s2 (2.3.6 & rooted) and a galaxy tab 10.1, connected to a 450d. Hangs on startup with black screen and memory class message. Was working fine before.

Also, on recent builds I noticed that DSLRc doesn't automatically start anymore on my galaxy s2. It does on my tab. Any ideas?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I did accidentally leave debug mode enabled... I disabled that and uploaded again (v0.88). It should be available in the Market soon.

While debug mode is known to slow things down a

little

, it shouldn't bring it up to a minute - should still only be a second or two. If the problem persists, let me know !

(This problem is going to be VxWorks specific I'm afraid ... bugger me for not having one available to test with)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Novalim:
v0.88 fixed my problems except for auto startup on galaxy s2 (was working couple of builds ago, manual startup is no problem)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Probably build related. Did you change firmwares? On some old firmwares auto startup works 100% of the time, on some it works 0% of the time, and there are several firmwares with any value in between. The latest ICS leaks seem to only autostart if you turn on the camera and plug the cable, in that order. Turning the camera on (or waking it up) when already connected does nothing.

Anyways, these are all OS issues, and aren't caused by changes in DSLR Controller.

EDIT: I was actually talking about the popup, if you mean the full program starting automatically without any interactions or button pushing, this is a setting somewhere, that often gets reset when you update versions.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Novalim:
Actually, no popup on both s2/10.1, auto-start program only on 10.1.

Never seen a setting for this (or I don't remember)

Changed firmware to 2.3.6 a while ago, not sure if the problem started then.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] andrewilley:
Nice app, works perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Canon 7D, and well worth paying for.

Could I ask if you could add a simple (optional?) Yes/No confirmation of the Delete function though - it's currently very dangerous indeed as the trashcan button is located directly above the regularly-used 'Back' icon on my screen.

Also, could the Android 'Menu' button bring up the settings menu regardless of which screen you are in? At the moment it doesn't seem to do anything.

Thanks!

Andre
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] reneph:

Start DSLR Controller ?

EDIT: ah wait, I see this is an AT&T Galaxy S2. Big chance it doesn't work. If you have a real SGS2 (not a Skyrocket!) you can probably make it work by flashing an I9100 kernel and/or firmware.

5D2 video works fine with v0.88.

A couple of issues, though (they seem new but...):

1) Had DC hang when disconnecting the camera a couple of times. Doesn't seem totally repeatable. The last screen update was displayed until using the back button to exit.

2) Seems directly related to the above. After exiting as above, attempts to reconnect fail in a sequence until the camera (5D2) is turned off and back on. First attempt is a black screen but the back button exits. Second attempt gives the "No compatible camera" message. Third attempt doesn't even get the pop-up to select DC. Turn camera off and back on and all returns to normal.

Also, never heard whether LV requires exposure simulation to display exposure changes properly. I assume it does since the camera works the same way. However, there's nothing I've found that indicates it's needed as part of the camera setup. Your earlier question had me try it since I had nothing else to go on. I have almost never used LV except for video so a lack of familiarity is showing. A guide/documentation for setup would have helped me for this step.

Thanks.

I just followed up on this conversation with green-- on IRC. I don't think the kernel needs additional devices compiled.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] msatter:
Video still works on the 1D MKIV with 0.88

The pop-up in time lapse - DOF states "..twisting your lens". The amount of DOF is set by the diaphragm and the location of the DOF is made by rotating the focus ring. I think better is, "...setting the DOF".
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Thanks.

I think you misunderstand the purpose of the button. The button engages DoF and holds it, so you can "twist" the lens itself slightly out of its socket, so the camera thinks the lens is manual, and the diaphragm gets locked in one position. This is to reduce aperture flicker between shots.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mfly9:

Seemed to be more consistent when app memory was 64mb after modifying build prop to 128 it seems more inconsistent.

Will test further.

Equipment: 40D / Transformer TF101 (stock, rooted, USB adapter)

Thanks Chainfire, as of 0.88 touch-dragging the zoom rectangle finally works. Is there supposed to be a way to move the view while actually zoomed in? Long-pressing and dragging seems to always move the view upward a notch, when it registers at all. I know this may be asking too much of VXWorks.

Assuming moving in the zoomed-in view should be working, it would be useful to have a d-pad for moving the view too, maybe grouped somewhere in the blank area beside the image or around all four edges like EOS Tool does. Not a high priority for me, I'm just pleased that zoom is working at all.

Also tried the HDR and focus stacking features, and they seem to work well. It may be worth noting somewhere (help file or FAQ) that the software focus controls may be limited by an on-lens focus limiter switch. For example, the minimum focus distance on my 100mm macro is 0.31m, but the limiter switch can set it to 0.48m. When set to 0.48m the lens blocks all electronic focus commands from 0.48m --> 0.31m, but allows them from 0.31m --> 0.48m+ so if you're focusing within that range it seems like a bug in the code that's preventing it from focusing in one direction. EOS Tool exhibits the same behavior, and it's not obvious what's happening. Flip the limiter switch back to 0.31m and everything works fine. There's nothing to fix in code, but documenting this behavior somewhere may save you a support ticket.

All-in-all, excellent improvements. Keep 'em coming!

What kinda RAW do you need, I can do and upload one - just any RAW (didn't follow the problem, have a 5DII)?

I realized a tiny UI flaw when I had to do a full wipe recently: your info box you draw right when DSLR Controller is started, just covers the request of 'Super User' to grant su for the app. It's no tragedy, but if the box would be on top of the screen, it wouldn't interfere with other msgs.

Was wondering if you could implement something... I would like to be shooting in follow-mode, and have the jpg (I shoot raw+jpg) saved to a specified folder on my tablet? This would allow me to shoot an event, have instant gratification as the shots show on the tablet as shot, and uploading in the background to my website (through another application). Is this possible? I don't care about the time it takes to save the jpg or upload it, as long as that doesn't prevent me from shooting.

Thanks.

Edit: I would also like a screen timeout (just blanking, not sleep mode) feature in follow mode, hopefully user controlled, to save power on my tablet while shooting events in this mode... let me know if these are do-able or not.

If your camera has an SD card slot than you could use a iPad + Eye-Fi card + Shuttersnitch. No SD card slot then you have to get a WFT device from Canon.

On Android there is a program called MoPhoto that is similar to Shutersnitch.

No cables attached so you have all the freedom you can have.

So I have a galaxy nexus. All I need is a "micro usb to OTG host adapter" to get this to work with my galaxy nexus and my 450d right?

I'm gonna be upgrading to a 5dmkii soon, which shouldn't be a problem here.... as it is listed to work better with this app than the 450d.

Do we have a feature list as to what works/ doesn't work with the 450d (xsi). Either way I'm gonna buy the app..... but the website just says "works mostly".

This is probably the best app ever. I made my own shutter release remote/box. But this would easily top any remote. Great job.

I am not interested in Apple products, but... even if I were, I already own an Android tablet, so why should I purchase something Apple? And, why look for another solution when DSLR controller already works as I expect it to, all I was asking for was a new feature, not to reinvent the wheel. But, thanks for caring....

Mophoto does not have any of the features I was looking for, no follow-mode, no camera tethering, and it would not support uploading to my website (I already have an app for that). So it doesn't even come close to what DSLR controller can already do.

Look mate, you are here in a special thread for a certain app called DSLR Controller.
