Try controlling the camera from the computer and canon's software to verify that you don't have a problem with the cable (some USB cables are for charging only and can't be used for full data transfer). If that works, try the USB control host program (I can't find the link to it right now, but it is on the app's web page). That can help troubleshoot the connection

It is the Samsung knox security. From my experience, blocking Knox apps using root privileges only stops the notifications.

Answer from Samsung Knox developers:

"I am unsure what updates are affecting your apps but to install apps into the KNOX container, it must be wrapped and then pushed to your device through a mobile device management solution or through Samsung Apps. I hope this helps."

Edit: Pushed the app through MDM (MaaS360 and 3CX) and no luck.

DSLR Dashboard also tested, same luck.

One Idea for using the Flash in Focus Bracketing Modus

Hello Chainfire

Thanks very much vor you nice DSLR Controller app…

i am very glad yours app to have.

I use you apps every time with Canon 5 D Mark 2 and Samsung Note 2

Now work you app, very good without any crash, and very stable...

compliment for you beautyful work!

Now I have one wish, maybe one Idea for you to the next update.

i have think about macro picture in Focus Bracketing modus.

Would be good have the control about the time for the next picture…

Now is that so, the next picture come constant about in 2 sec.

but for one 5:1 macro, is this time to short for exclude the camera vibration

The second reason with negatively effect is by using the Flash and stacking.

2 seconds are often not enough to ensure fully charge the flash

Now I habe think about solve the problems: if the user can interconnect the Focus Bracketing modus with kind of timelapse then is the problem solved. (where the user can set the shoot time )

What do you think about this idea?

would it be possible in the next time, so what implement

…

Thanks for you nice answer

best regards

Instantly Viewing Images on Camera & Tablet

I have reviewed the forum posts and have not seen exactly what I am looking for there, so here goes.

What I want to know is: Can I use my 5DMKIII normally through the viewfinder (with LV off), take a picture and have it show up in the app. The main reason I want to do this is so I can see at a quick glance if the image is clear. My eyes are not what they use to be.

I would also like to show them to models as they are taken so they can see instantly what the camera is capturing and adjust themselves accordingly. This way they do not have to leave their pose and look at the cameras screen but can just look at my tablet (that is turned towards them) and see what they need to do to improve their pose, look, etc.

Also: can you view your cameras screen and and the tablet at the same time? Example: if I hit the PLAY button in the camera, will the image display on the back of the camera and the tablet together? So I can see it as well at those looking at the tab.

They reasoning is: I have used a TV in my studio for years (connected to the VID out jack) that the models and I could look at as I took the shot but this is just not an option while in the field.

Basically I want to shoot with my camera as I normally would on location (except with a USB cable connected), but have the images appear on the tab as well as my DSLR - just like it does on my TV.

Any help you could give to my complex questions would be great!

Thank you so much!

Bug when using flash

I found some weird bug when using off camera flash.

I'm using phottix system but I don't think it would be specific to the particular brand.

What happens is:

Let's say you switch on your camera and dslr controller software, it's all nice and working, you can see the liveview etc.

Now you try to take a photo using shutter button on the phone and it's working apart from the fact that flashes don't go off. Now - if you take another photo within about 15 sec the flashes will go off correctly. You can repeat that as many times as you want and if you take next photos within 15 sec it will be fine. But wait 20 seconds or longer and the next pressing of the shutter button (on the phone) will not set the flashes off.

Now - there are ways to trick the system. For example if you waited for a minute since last photo (so flashes wouldn't go off) you can press the "M" button in the top left corner twice and then take a photo - flashes will go off.

You may also switch drive mode, for example from normal to silent, using the menu on the left. If you do that and take a photo in the next 15 sec flashes will go off, if you wait more than 15sec they won't go off.

I have no idea why does the program behave that way, is that some sleep mode that dslr controller goes into and you have to wake it up so the flashes work again ?

Please have a look into it :)

New Devices Confirmed Working

Samsung Galaxy Note III

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I think you can solve both problems by setting the "Strobe Recharge Delay" option under "Configuration - Camera" in the options screen (bottom right icon from the main screen)

The screen could be filled up, but then you'd have to cut off the top and bottom sides of the image. I don't believe this is what most users would want.

For shooting through the viewfinder and having the images show up on your tablet, there's a special mode called "Image review - Follow shot" (under options, bottom right cogwheel icon). It has multiple modes you can play with. The only caveat is that you have to be shooting in JPEG or RAW+JPEG, RAW only doesn't work. If the tablet is turned toward the models, you may also consider setting "Mirroring" mode (under options), sometimes this is easier for models if they need to recompose themselves.

The tablet's screen and the camera's screen do not work the same way. Using PLAY on the camera will *not* show the same content on the tablet (in fact, it will usually freeze operation on the tablet until you leave PLAY). You will have to use PLAY through the tablet.

It's not DSLR Controller that does this, it is the camera. All sort of weird stuff has been reported using non-Canon flashes (and some other stuff with actual Canon brand flashes, but it's usually non-Canon's that have issues). One important requirement seems to be that in your camera's liveview configuration, "Silent mode" needs to be disabled.

ASUS memo pad HD7 ME173X

Hey there Chainfire,

do you know if the ASUS memo pad HD7 is currently supported using usb otg?

i just bought the tablet and don't have the cable yet to test, DSLR controller does connect to my 6D via Wifi but I was wondering about usb.

I tried USB Host Diagnostics (with no cable though) and I am getting this result:

"a possible problem with your firmware has been detected, which may cause apps to be unable to use USB host. it might be fixable if you root your device."

i've researched online and a lot of people seem to be having issues with this tablet but some reports of success too.

model: ME173X

android version: 4.2.1 (updated)

Kernel version: 3.4.5

build number: ME173X_US_user_4.2.2.91525_20130711 release-keys

any info would be greatly appreciated!

usb otg cable is coming via amazon so ill have to wait, but i bought this tablet specifically for DSLR controller, so if it doesnt work I will get a nexus 7 2012 instead.

thanks!

keep up the good work

Future supported cameras

Hello Chainfire,

Its been a while since I posted on here, however, I have been staying up to date with the app and it is coming along nicely.

I am working for a company that builds camera rigs (www.indisystem.com) and we are currently working on a project that we would like to use your app with. It is a rig that would hold a variety of cameras, everything from a Panasonic GH2 to a Canon C300 and all of the DSLRs in between. Our main question before we decide to fully integrated the android platform into this project is this: Are their plans to support the GH2 as well as the higher end Cinema cameras from Canon like the C100 and C300 and is there any plan to graduate the app from the beta stage to an official version anytime soon. I have noticed the app has not been updated since July I believe so I am curious about how the app has progressed over the last few months.

Thanks so much for your feedback. I look forward to hearing about the progess.

Zach
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
There are currently no concrete plans to support anything else than Canon EOS, as this is keeping me pretty busy by itself. If other cameras would be added, they would be Nikons, not Panasonic (marketshare and such). Originally I planned to add Nikon support right away, but the more complex the Canon support becomes, the less likely it is to be easily integratable with Nikon support. It's complex enough to just keep all Canon models supported at the same time with a single codebase, without resorting to severe code-duplication and per-model exceptions to generic logic rules.

C100 and C300 support, well, if you send me one of each, I can see if they can be supported ... :) Seriously, while DSLR Controller is not a cheap app, it's a very niche product, and not profitable enough to justify testing on $20K cameras at this time.

As for BETA stage, one of the major issues is that USB host support simply isn't reliable on the Android platform. The BETA moniker warns people that there may be issues. In truth, by far most issues that DSLR Controller users are encountering (and thus support requests) are hardware or firmware related issues, and not related to the app itself, which mostly just works. I'm not sure what I'm doing with this. I have a handful of more features to finish before v1.00, and I might just drop the BETA name. Or not. I just haven't decided yet.

As for updates, DSLR Controller was actually updated today. And one simply does not ask an app developer for updates. If you want talk like that, I can hire a sales person to lie to you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zpeverman:
Sorry I asked...

As for the updates I was just curious, it works just fine for me and if it was never updated again it would do everything I NEED it to. I was not asking for an update in any way at all. I was just asking how it was coming along as it was being updated regularly and then suddenly there were no updates. Sorry I asked.

I asked about the higher end cameras because that is what producers are asking us about with rigs. The rig we are currently working on would benefit from having an android tablet on the back side of it as a monitor that could control the camera. However, a lot of our customers are using the C300 and C100, I figured since it was all Canon that there would be a lot of similarities in them. Once again, just a question. No need for a snarky response.

I will keep your responses in mind next time I have any questions about the app.

Is exposure bracketing in live view possible?

Hi everyone. This is my first time posting in this forum, and I just want to say how much I love dSLR Controller. I've actually had it for quite some time now, but didn't use it all that much at all because it turns out that using my TF700 was too unwieldy in the field. But I recently got a Galaxy Note 3, which is the perfect size for photography in the field. Not to mention dSLR controller works amazingly well on the Note 3. I think this app is going to change my photography life! Thanks Chainfire!

However, one thing I noticed is that, as far as I can tell, it's not possible to shoot an exposure bracketed series in live view. My issue with this is that the mirror keeps flapping up and down when shooting brackets, decreasing the sharpness of the images. Even if mirror lockup were possible, I generally don't like using that, as it takes too much time between shots. So what I normally do is shoot brackets in live view (which keeps the mirror up between shots).

Am I missing something in dSLR Controller? Is it in fact possible to shoot a bracketed series in live view mode?

Would really appreciate some help on this. Without this ability, unfortunately, I won't really be able to use bracketing much in practice.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] joshnl:
Never mind... I'm an idiot... figured it out on my own. You just need to go into autobracket mode and then switch to live view manually (on the camera). Brilliant! I LOVE DSLR CONTROLLER!!!

Problem installing on Nexus 7 android 4.3

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] msatter:
Have a look at this page and maybe Google adapted to this to only allow new installs to Nexus 7 2013 when the language is set to English (United States).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Flanimal:
I sure this has been covered many times in the thousands of pages of this thread, but it's worthwhile supplying this information for statistical purposes. DSLR Controller worked right out of the box with my UK stock Samsung Galaxy Nexus. It only works with my UK stock Nexus 7 2013 if I set the language to US rather than UK and reboot.

I have one question which may have been answered in this thread but a quick Google search gave me no specific answer: What is the impact of choosing US English rather than UK English in settings? I have noticed nothing yet, except perhaps a more difficult to access pound symbol in Swiftkey. Just testing and colour is getting highlighted in my spellchecker so that's one ramification. Ah, but I solved that by selecting UK English for the Google setting dictionary, so there seems to be no drawbacks.

Is there any definitive list anywhere?

AF selection point issue after using DSLR controler

Hi,

I'm recently installed DSLR controler on my Nexus 4 and use it with a 6D through WIFI. It works well but now I'm getting a issue on my camera just after playing a bit through DSLR controler, so I suspect it could be related : I'm now unable to select the AF point on the camera. Usually, I half press shutter and use the multi-dial. I also tried the AF selection button (upper right on the cam) but it does not work either.

In both case, when I try to select an AF point, no point is highlighted (in red), and no point appear or moves when I use the dials...

For now, it seems I'm in auto selection mode, but I'm now unable to change it. I tried to reset the custom functions and to remove the battery with no luck. I've also gone through the menus of the camera but was not able to find anything wrong...

Thanks for any help or advice.

From my previous post, I had a problem with my sg3 not picking up my camera (550D).

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
It's a bit tricky. I'm not aware of any issues with any S3 firmwares, but I generally only keep track of the I9300 (non-T model). The S4 however has several known "bad" firmwares OTG wise. Have you tried the "USB Host Diagnostics" app from the Play Store (free), maybe that can help diagnose the issue.

Some news on the stick version of DSLR Controller.

I finally updated firmware for the CX-919 Stick to Finless ROM 1.6b. I now can use the HDMI output to have a good picture on the monitor and before it was not sharp and the pictures were blotchy. I run DSLR Controller in combination with my Nexus 7 (2013) in non USA language settings and it worked flawlessly.

There is strange bug when I connect a device to the USB port that the internal SD memory gets unmounted but that is not a big item for me. I also discovered why I could not run FireFox without that the stick rebooted randomly.

I had connected my battery-pack that can output 1A and I noticed that the LED's that display the status charge were flickering and went all three dark when the stick rebooted itself. So I came to the conclusion that there was not enough power available and plugged in a second USB cable to supply more power. That helped and now the stick is steady a Rock and I have not been able to crash it again.

I also noticed a few days ago that the Stick version of DLSR Controller is now for free to have more people interested to get it and test it. I am pleased that I could be of assistance in making this great APP freely available by adopting it in a early stage. ;)

I makes my tablet independent of the physical connection to the camera and also not dependable of the strange way's the manufactures of the tablets and phones handle the OTG USB support. :crying:
