Good point! I'll be leaving my dev PC later today and I won't be back until 3 weeks from now, but when I return I will start immediately on (a) image review, (b) intervalometer/bramper/etc, and (c) some minor functions that we are lacking (like for example pre-setting a bulb time).

Will probably discuss the exact intervalometer implementation and ideas as soon as I'm back.

I was thinking (in the background) a sort of recursive loop construct, which for each iteration of each loop depth allows you to set abolute or relative shutterspeed, aperture, isospeed, delayed or not, etc.

This could for example be used to snap 9-point HDR images every 5 minutes, with a varying base.

I am not an experienced intervalometer/bramper user, so I know little of how these things work. I want to build something really powerful, but I need to know from as many people as possible their exact and most advanced use-cases for it, in as many detail as possible. If I have all that information, I can design the system to allow for all those things.

Danke für die Link und Ich habe fast alles gelesen.

Very nice work and I got an Canon with an system connector on the side (1D MKIV) and there should be power and USB signals in there. I am still looking for the pin-out of the connector. :o

It is a lot of power that the chip is burning and it surprised me yesterday again when I tested the connection the stick was really warm. There second generation can run at 300mW and there are also SD cards with WUSB inside.

If it is more accepted to use WUSB I am sure it will be fitted in camera's an other devices.

Ok. I figured out my crash problem. It was actually due to a faulty .arsc file in a 3.2 theme I'm building, which was caused by apktool. I didn't know about the problem until I saw it here. Since reading that, I reverted back to the stock .arsc file in my framework-res.apk and tried the DSLR app again and it didn't crash.

However, there is still an issue with the capture function (it gives me an error), and I'm assuming the lowly 400D will never have live view. :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ragebot:
Still playing around with my Toshiba Thrive and DSLR Controller more than doing any real photography. So far it works most of the time on my 1d4 and 7d. One problem is that when I try and use HDR instead of just taking 3 images it keeps on firing in what seems to be bursts of three till the camera buffer over runs and I turn off the camera. The program is a little unstable, but definitely useable. Keep up the good work.

dof preview

I just wondered if you had depth of field preview on the list of features that you are hoping to implement.

I couldn't see it on the website as one of the thinks that you were working on so I thought I had better stick my oar in and request it.

I know Canon's tethered shooting app. has a depth of field preview mode so it is hopefully possible.

It would be very useful for macro work especially.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Yes, that is coming. Oversight on my part that it isn't in there already (should have been in there from the start)

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] toes2:
Just got back from vacation to find that there's an update and it is now largely working with my Transformer and 1Ds mk III - marvelous! Thanks a lot Chainfire.

It doesn't allow image capture with the 1Ds-III when in any continuous-shooting modes (which you clearly note is likely on the devices page as it's a VxWorks camera). It would be great if the app allowed you to change the shooting mode to single-shot, but the shooting-mode button isn't active. Is that a VxWorks related issue that you know about and can't be fixed?

Thanks for the work you've done with this so far. Great progress! And have a relaxing vacation :-)

Yep, but Chainfire mentioned, that some CustomROMs have the USB host libs or APIs removed. When he talks about 2.3.4, he means stock ROM. And yes, I feel too it should be mentioned on the first page.

no support for 1ds MK iii

Acer iconia tab , 5d mkii and 1ds mkiii

Work with 5d mkii but does not do anything with 1ds mk iii.

Since 1ds mkiv has not been release yet the 1ds mk iii still canon no 1 line camera however this apps does not even support it.

It can only do Live View with the 1ds (by enabling live view on the camera).

Another suggestion.

to have option where to store the images since acer has two usb port ( you can use external hard drive).

User friendly interface is another usefull feature.

If this apps can do tether like canon eos utility (remote shooting and iame preview) this app will be the winning combination.

loving this app using on SGSII @ the minute until usb adapter comes for transformer. I was using onone's app on iphone but think this is far better and is still only in beta!

** Feature Request **

Would adding motion capture be a possibility either using dslr or android device's camera as the trigger

Cheers for a top pro app
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] toes2:
Are you using the up-to-date version of the app? v0.5 didn't have any usefully functioning buttons with my 1Dsmk3, but most features have been working for me since v0.66.

If you are using v0.66, make sure the camera is set to single-shot shutter mode before you connect to your Android device.

Is this the right sort of cable to use?

the recommended USB host cables are a bit hard to find in the UK, but I'm hoping this together with the camera standard USB cable is the right answer....

wwwDOTamazonDOTcoDOTuk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B004APRKLS/ref=ox_ya_os_product

Can anyone confirm this one way or the other?

Also just upgraded the firmware on my S2 to KG6 using the excellent instructions here:

@ Chainfire

Congrats this is a very nice app! Is it also possible to cycle through taken shots and is bulb mode supported?

I'm also waiting for Nikon support! Will the final version (non beta) be more expensive?

Blij dat er van dit soort mooie dingen gemaakt worden in ons mooie Nederland.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Psychokitty:
I have TX-1s (Digic 3) running CHDK. Since the camera (and most other Canons with Digic 3s have already been ported) now has the capabilities of most lower end DSLRs, can this be made to interface with it?

I also run twin setup with 2 TX-1s running Microfunguy's stereo CHDK, and this would be perfect in split screen! We're taking about a $30 app for that niche market.

Thanks, pk

intervalometer and bulb mode

Hi,

for the records, intervalometer, bulb mode and lot of other functions are already available using the Magic Lantern firmware:

http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Unified#Shoot

(free and open source)

intervalometer and bulb timer are available on 550D/T2i, 600D/T3i, 60D and 50D.

1100D/T3 is the next camera to be supported.

This doesn't work, the cable in the picture would work, but this isn't a picture of a nokia CA-157 cable. The CA-157 has a micro USB A connector, and the phone has a micro USB B socket, these aren't compatible. It appears the galaxy S2 needs a B plug, but have it wired as an A plug, to enable the handset to act as a host.

Just makes you wish manufacturers would stick to the standards (an A socket would accept A & B plugs if I understand the wiki page on USB connectors properly)

Toshiba Thrive

I just purchased a Toshiba Thrive because it had the full size USB port. I tried the app out on it and it works perfect for a BETA version. It is a little laggy and freezes up occasionally but that is to be expected at this state.

However, a couple things I think would make this app great for cinematographers is LIVE VIEW while recording video, which I believe should be included in the future releases. The other thing that would make this a superb app is to take the focus adjustment tool and add a slider bar that you could "Pull Focus" with, AKA, Rack Focusing. I think if you are able to control the focus in steps you should be able to control it in a fluid motion.

That is just my 2 cents on how the app could be improved. Keep up the good work though. This app is well worth the money and I cant wait to see the future versions of the app. Thanks for all of your work on it.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zpeverman:
That one should work. However, I think you would be happier getting a flexible one rather than a block one. That way you don't have a long ridged piece sticking out of your phone that could easily be bent over. Maybe something like this one...

Copy and paste this in your browser and delete the spaces around the DOT...

I am new here so I can not post outside links...

That one even says its for the Galaxy S phone :)(even though I think they are all the same)

Enjoy
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] slippers67:
Canon's focus adjustment is extremely limited, only allowing you to send it three different step sizes in each direction. It's very difficult to make it smooth unless you use the smallest step size, which also results in extremely slow focus change.

Additionally, you are fighting the traffic over USB if you intend to have the live view display while recording AND try to send focus commands, which makes it even more difficult to use. Essentially you have to send focus commands only between image frames from the live view.

You can test this by using the EOS Utility. The limitations will become evident.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dishe:
You are not recording over USB. If you can send other commands over USB during live view, this should be no different, even if that means the command won't be sent unless in between live view frames. What does that give us, 5 commands per second? What's wrong with that?

Meanwhile, the question is can focus commands be successfully sent over USB since the EOS utility mostly just invokes the camera's autofocus command. There are aftermarket USB follow focus attachments on the market that claim to work with USM lenses, so this should be technically possible, however admittedly likely beyond the scope of the project right now.

Meanwhile, what I'd *love* to see, is Chainfire getting in touch with a1ex from the Magic Lantern firmware development, and getting some server-client love (or would it be "host/slave" in this case?) and extended capability out of this app! I mean, the possibilities could be endless!

i purchased this app to test with my 30d and it opens, displays the cameras information, records the img# but doesn't display any image after clicking the shutter. I am not really concerned with live viewing but would like to see the image after taking the photo. Can you tell me if this is possible?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ryusen:
Per the Dev, the program right now only does remote control. Image transfer and viewing are on the future features list.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] toes2:
And also note that on the devices compatibility page the 30D is listed as not compatible...so it's probably wise to keep your expectations low.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] inottoni:
I figured I would try it since there isn't much different from the 40d and 30d. The 40d is listed compatible. Perhaps it will be supported eventually. Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ryusen:
Apparently, Canon has changed some of protocols of communication as the models evolved. Unless the Dev can get a sample of the camera to play with he probably won't be able to tell you if he can support it or not.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pspilot:
Excuse me, but from time to time, things HAVE to be corrected :rolleyes:. What's your definition of 'isn't much different'? The 40D is a complete new generation camera, it has a different Digic CPU (III vs. II of the 30D), it works with 14-bit instead of 12, it has a complete new AF-module and LiveView AND obviously a complete different FW to support all that! About the only similarities left are a black body and that the lens fits in the front :D ...

Depth of field preview?

Ooh! this app is soooo nice, the one thing I am missing though is depth of field preview - especially since focus can be controlled from the app.

Am I missing something, or is this beyond the software atm?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pspilot:
For DoF preview you need control of the aperture, not the AF. It's probably still possible, since the app can control the camera mode and in M you can control the aperture. Easier solution would be to control the DoF key. No idea whether that's software accessable.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Scorchiooo:
I believe that DoF preview is to be in a update. It was brought up a few pages back.

Same here. OTG cable ordered from DSLR Controller suggested ebay link, mouse does work with it. Canon 7D, first with fw 1.2.2, then updated to fw 1.2.5..

Motorola XOOM, 3.1 OTA update (a couple of days ago, it is an unrooted T-Mobile device). USB debugging both on or off, and 3rd party software enabled or disabled..

So, I connect the Host Cable, plug in the DSLRs cable and that to the cam, I start the cam and there's no pop up suggesting what app to start.

Tried to cross read here a bit but I am a bit stuck. Any -helpful- suggestions would be more than welcome - I feel so N00B because I know that config should actually work ,-(

Thank you ,-)

PS: maybe it's that Honeycomb 3.1? I thought I read somewhere someone made it running with 3.1.. Hm. Do I really need to root and flash to 3.2? Or - wait until it's available OTA? Argh.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ryusen:
I dont' beelive the dev open sourced it and if ti's incompatible with your android device, it's because it doesn't have the necessary host drivers.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lindahl85:
Not necessary. The new copyright protection for android makes applications incompatible.

The app needs to be installed in /data/app but becomes installed in /data/app-private or vice versa :-)

Rooted users can acces the app even if it´s copyrighted. The market license will keep it protected from spreading to other users anyhow. I have already discussed this problem with another dev.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ryusen:
The reason why this app is incompatible is that it checks to see if your device has a specific file to working with the USB host port. So even if you could install it yourself, it still won't work unless you have also managed to install that set of drivers on your device.

If you read Chainfire's various posts, you can perhaps make better sense of it than my explanation.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] codezion:
I have this strange feeling that this $8 app is going to make me spend $1200 to upgrade my camera from 30D to something else just so I can use this app!

Droid Bionic

Wondering if the Droid Bionic could be supported. It has USB host support, in fact the media dock has 3 full-size USB ports. It likely also supports the same kind of adapters as the S2. It shipped with Android 2.3.4.
