Anyone know if use of back button focusing negates the auto-focus feature? I cannot get autofocus to work thru DSLR controller and my Nexus10. Manual focusing is not a problem. (Same issue occurs with another similar DSLR controlling app.)

New feature Request

Hi everybody,

Thank you for making this wonderful app, I was still missing a feature: the ability to trigger the shutter using the volume button (like the camera app).

It could be nice to be able to do that as it would act more like a remote shutter release.

Then I also thought that it could be great to have a more advanced remote shutter part with all the features we could find in a more advanced remote time for DSLRs

vertical app orientation

no live view preview

easy to set intervalometer, with remaining shots to take, and time it will take

lock shutter

and also the volume button shutter

I cannot put any photo about the physical remote shutter I am talking about but I think you got the idea.

Thank you very much, I think I would not be the only one requesting something like this.

Here's my issue, I have LG V20 on Android Nougat + Canon T6S using built in wifi, had been working perfectly now all of the sudden app is crashing left and right. Typically becomes non-responsive after using HDR bracket function with shutter speed. I rely upon this app professionally every single day, it is vital that I can resolve the problem. Have uninstalled and cleared data, reinstalled, reset camera settings and still have issues. Will note that it would be *amazing* if I could revert to a previous version. Occasionally on older versions I would have this issue but on the latest it is debilitating and frequent causing huge problems in my workflow attempting to troubleshoot the issue. Help would be so appreciated. I'm on Flickr as gr8deal_mi if you want to reach out directly. Thanks for a great app, its been awesome but somehow I'm feeling this issue is related to bugs introduced in latest version. How does one go back to previous version, I'm desperate?!?!? A few things that have changed recently with workflow is that I'm using lens in manual focus lately after focusing 1 time and using focus peak overlay, and manual mode instead of aperture priority. All that said, I see no reason why these works cause this app behavior. Sometimes it crashes as soon as it the app opens.

Focus Box Movement?

Hi, I asked way back in July 17, ' would it be possible on the next update to include an option so that when you click on the screen of your tablet the focus box will move to that area and auto focus rather than having to drag the focus box and then click again to focus'? and the reply was 'A review of the focus controls is on my list, but everybody wants it a different way'

So any forward movement on this please?

Thankyou, Russ

Hi,

I just purchased DSLR controller.

I have a Canon 5D Mark ii DSLR camera and a Samsung Galaxy note 10.1.

I am using the original Canon USB lead with a Tech Gear OTG cable.

I have downloaded DSLR Controller, then connected camera, but this message keeps coming up:

‘Could not find a compatible camera on either wifi or USB. If you have a compatible camera connected, please make sure it is turned on. If it is already turned on, try waking it up by pressing the shutter button or turning it off and on again. Please make sure a memory card is present in the camera as well!’

From reading the DSLR Controller compatibility list my Canon 5D Mark ii and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 are compatible with DSLR Controller.

Can you tell me what I need to do to make the program work?

Thank you.

Danny

Wi-Fi

Hi, Try turning OFF Wi-Fi in camera first also buy yourself a decent cable not the one that comes cheap from the likes of Ebay or the one that comes with your camera. Russ

Hi Russ,

thanks for response.

Canon 5D Mark ii doesn’t have wi-fi.

I’m using unused, good quality USB lead that came with camera.

OTG cable is from e-bay.

Guess I’ll keep buying/testing OTG cables.

Bracketing - Red lines?

I apologize if this has been covered, which is likely. Each search I do comes up with a LOT of posts, so I'm asking. Also looked at the web site, but don't find much of a 'manual'.

I'm trying bracketing, and think this will be a great tool, although I seem unable to duplicate how I do it manually. At any rate, my question is, when I am doing bracketing, there are red lines in the top area, per the attachment. Can someone tell me what they are for?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] russellsnr:
I Think?

Hi, I think that the thin red line is telling you that for example if you are going to take 5 exposures 1 at one stop over another at one stop under then the thin red line/s will be set at the 2 stop mark on the plus side and the same for the minus exposures but the line will be on the 2 stop mark and the zero mark in the centre is your fifth exposure. If you try and set beyond these settings without changing any other setings ie you try and push for 7 exposures and change nothing then the thick red line is telling you to check your settings as they are outside what you have set. To test this out try this, Set up for 5 exposures at 1 stop intervals on the exposure compensation side of things, use the centre option for the main exposure, 1 step EV, set 5 shots on the + side so you will have -5 and +5 and on the top bar as in your image posted here you will have two thin red lines one at 5+ and one at 5-, then try to go one more by tapping the + side and two thick red lines will appear telling outside the setting you have set. Hope this makes sense? Russ

Hi Chainfire,

I installed custom rom Marshmellow 13.1 on my samsung galaxy s2 plus, and now (ofc) the damn app is not recognising my camera anymore (usb cable style, old canon d550). I downloaded this app that showed me how i'm missing these files: android.hardware.usb.host.xml handheld_core_hardware.xml tablet_core_hardware.xml

the files now "work", but the app still doesn't recognise the camera. Any other ideas i can try?

Tab S3 and W-e1

Hi,

In August 2017 I purchased a Canon 5Dsr camera and the W-e1 WiFi adapter. At that time I still had a Galaxy Note 4 phone. I was very exited about the prospect of remote and wireless shooting and purchased the DSLR controller app. No matter what I tried, the app would not recognize the camera. I read your entire website and most of the forum threads. Finally I gave up.

Yesterday I bought a brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 and thought I give it a second chance but no luck.

In the phone menu I go to 'WiFi Function' and then to 'Connect to Smartphone'. Then I check 'Easy connection which gives me the SSID and the Encription Key.

Next I go to my Tab S3 and connect to this network. When it connects, my phone screen changes and prompts me to 'start dedicated app on the smartphone'. Then I start DSLR Controller which always gives the dreaded message: Could not find a compatible camera....

The strange thing is that other apps like Helicon Remote or Canon Camera Connect work fine, using the exact same method as described above.

Am I missing something here or is this just one of life mysteries?

Thank you
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] BKIlburn:
Great app. I've used it for a couple of years.

Question; Just got a canon 80d recently and then purchased a Rokinon 16mm f2 fully manual lens for astro-photography and the ability to use DSLR Controller on my Samsung 10 inch tablet should make focusing very easy.

Never had an issue with other lenses and the app works with this set up .

Except when I take a photo, the app says "capturing..." and keeps counting seconds as if the shutter were still open, even after the photo is taken.

I have to close the app and restart it to get this to stop.

I know this is a quirk of the lens not having chips to communicate with the camera but Is there any way to get the app to stop counting seconds without closing it?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] miketamm:
I recently purchased this app in hopes to use it during timelapse sessions. I need to be able to change iso and shutter on the fly. The iso seems easy enough. How do I change exposure time while in a timelapse session?

Another reason I purchased this app was for the future bramping feature. Sadly I just watched a youtube video from 2013 that has the same menu pick.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 10/6:
Purchased this app with the intention of doing some long exposure astrophotography, but lately the app seems to freeze with an eventual "Dslr controller isn't responding" error message on my Samsung S7 when in timelapse mode. Annoying, as i bought this as a a replacement for my intervalometer, amongst frame and focus duties.

My dslr is a Canon 1100d, which with my smartphone is listed as fully compatible.

Any ideas?

Cheers

App crashes on Wifi

Hello,

I use EOS-600d with MR3040 and have connection problems.

Tablet: Levovo Tab3 plus (YT-X703L) Android 6.0.1

All software is actual !!

On normal connection with USB-cable all is okay.

In wireless connection without liveview all works fine.

When I start LV, the connection is only for 30 sec to 1 min stabile and then stops with a "connection error" and the app crashes. I can reproduce it all the time.

Sometimes the Lenovo also reboots after the crash.

I had an older Lenovo, the same without LTE, and this machine worked ok, but the display was broken an i bought a new one.

Mobile data are off !!

Do you have a solution for me??

DSLR Controller won't reset automatically

I've used DSLR controller on a Samsung Galaxy 5, a Note 5, and (after my granddaughter accidentally trashed my Note 5) a Samsung 7" Tab E. It worked well on all but a bit slow on the Tablet. I have now replaced the 7" Tab with a new 10" Tab A which is much faster and that big display is great. But now the DSLR Controller won't reset after an exposure. I have to touch the back button on the tablet to re-set the app. Not a big deal but a bit puzzling. As far as I can tell, all settings are the same as on the earlier devices that did reset. Anyone know why? Thanks.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] LC Photographer:
I'm having the same problem actually. In DSLR Controller the light meter doesn't read at all for the images I'm taking on my 5D Mark II. It's not you, auctionseller 2K. It seems to be locked up but I can still control my Aperture and Shutter Speed and ISO via DSLR Controller in Manual mode (and Aperture and Shutter Speed in the Av and Tv modes respectively). That makes it difficult for me to do bracketing in my real estate shoots and I haven't figured out yet how to bracket via DSLR Controller. So far I get my camera set up, take a test shot and view it and then guess my changes in shutter speed to bracket and do that DSLR Controller or unplug my wifi once I've got it set up and framed and then roll the dial to change the shutter speed, knowing that three clicks + 1 stop from my balanced image. If you have figured out how to get that light meter to work or how to bracket using DSLR Controller please let me know!

Connection issues

Hi Chainfire,

I am having the same issue as a poster above.

I had been using your app with the tplink MR3040 without any issue for some considerable time.

Now I cannot connect and get the message that ' a camera was found, but a connection could not be established. Please turn the camera off and on again'.

I have reflashed the TPLink, and reinstalled the app in conjunction with following the ON/OFF instructions many times.

My Galaxy Note 8 is running Android 8.0.0. The TP LINK is hard wired (USB) to my cannon 7D (first gen).

So frustrating as previously it had been working flawlessly and I am completely stumped. Any input would be very much appreciated.

UPDATE: I think I have resolved the issue. I turned off MOBILE DATA. Opened chrome on my mobile, refreshed a page (obviously this did not connect to anything as there is no internet connectivity) returned to the app and after months of not working right - it recognised my camera immediately.

Just one. You connect it with a USB cable to your camera and then your phone or tablet to the wifi signal. So you don't need 4G either.

Samsung Galaxy S8 compatibility... recently?

Hi, all!

I briefly used DSLR Controller with a Galaxy S6 many moons ago, but I just tried to run it on my S8, and it insta-crashes every time, whether the camera is connected or not. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but no luck.

I can see that several people have successfully used the app on their S8 in the past, but I haven't seen any recent posts to that effect. Is anyone still using it on an S8, or did some recent service update "break" it?

Use over WiFi

Quick question: on your website you explain the WR902AC does not have a battery, and thus has to be powered with a battery bank or a wall charger. How could I provide power to the device and connect it to the camera at the same time? I'm aware it only has 1 micro USB port. Also: is there a speed advantage with this method over using 2 modern android phones?

Hey there

I was using dslr controller today with my canon 1dx ii to video some skiing in the terrain park at sun peaks resort, bc canada. Love the app and its functionality and have never had a problem with it until I went to upload the video files to my laptop, and there was 0 sign of them. I was just wondering how this is possible. I've had corrupted files before but never 0 sign of files that were being recorded. The video length time was recording and he only issue I had for the day was when I tried to review the videos to show the athlete and I needed to download a video playback app to do so. The thumbnail images for the videos were there but I didnt have wifi so I couldn't download the playback codec and review the footage.

The only reasons I can think of that there would be 0 sign that they were recorded is if the record button in the app failed. But then I was also using the physical button on the camera. The files aren't greatly important as they can be replicated. But if this happens again on a paid job I'll be SOL. Any thoughts recommendations or solid answers would be insanely appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
