GT-P1000T

My device isn't listed the devices page, but when I purchased the app, there was a green box with this message "This app is compatible with your Samsung GT-P1000T."

Is it likely that that message was wrong and it's not possible to use this app on a GT-P1000T? I'd really love to use this app.

Any help would be much appreciated.

1Ds Mk II support?

Hi, I've been lurking this thread for a while now (during my transition from another brand DSLR to Canon) and am just wondering if this will ever be able to support the 1Ds Mk II?

If not, is it simply due to the old software it uses or lack of being able to test on it/for it? Or some combination of issues?

I'm curious because I really want the 1Ds Mk II (cheapest 1Ds series FF I can afford).

Thanks.

It's a Galaxy Tab of some sort and I assume you are running stock? Could it be that USB Host is disabled? Can you tab read a regular thumb drive?

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

An update: Since the stock ROM had some issues, I downgraded to custom 4.1.1 ROM (Finless 1.7) which took care of everything except DSLR controller, - now the stick does not see the camera at all saying that "device is not compatible with Android USB Host API". I ran your diagnostic app, code is 135843, so if you could take a look....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tornadolf:
One more update - I ran a fix from with your diagnostic app... and ta-da, it's alive!!! :D

Now comes the real issue - we need an option to start the device in wi-fi passthrough mode.

FEATURE REQUEST: Play Sounds

FEATURE REQUEST:

Play Sounds.

It would be useful in certain functions to trigger an accompanying sound.

This would allow synchronisation of external activities to the image.

External activities could include:

* astronomical work - ie. tone to remind to turn off lights

* light painting - tone to alert to start of exposure

The sounds could be fired off in conjunction with the following functions:

ie. timelapse

future scripting features to be implemented in a future release

etc

A useful sound could be at a minimum:

* a beep

At a medium level of complexity :

* play an audio file - ie. music

At a complex level of implementation

* have countdown audio timers

* have scriptable text , ie. say "turn off lights now" or say "start light painting now" or "manual strobe fire!"

Trying to Connect Canon T2i/550D to Samsung Galaxy S 2

Hi there,

I really love the app and was hoping to connect my Canon T2i to a Samsung Galaxy S 2 phone which I purchased (used) exclusively for this purpose. Unfortunately, even though my phone satisfies the minimum device requirements that were listed at DSLRC website, I was not able to connect it to my camera. I've used Samsung's Kies app in order to upgrade the Android, but still no luck. The phone is running Android version 4.1.2 with the kernel version 3.0.31-1014481. I suspect that this kernel doesn't support USB hosting. Is there a way to verify this? If this is indeed the case, would soem other Kernel version support it? Would I need to root my device in order to achieve this?

Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide me with.

Google play has several apps that can check the status of USB host, one of them by Chainfire himself.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tunguz:

Need info on how to modify Android Kernel to support USB Hosting

I have finally rooted my Sprint Galaxy S2, but my Kernel still doesn't support USB hosting. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could direct me to the quickest and most painless way of modifying my Kernel so it does support USB hosting. Thanks!

Phone: Sprint Galaxy S2/ Epic 4G touch

Android version 4.1.2

Kernel version 3.0.31-1014481
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tornadolf:
Root has nothing to do with it. USB Hosting (if supported by the hardware) is turned off in the kernel itself, and as an end user you don't modify the kernel, you replace ROM. Just go to S2 section and read about installing CWM and custom ROMs.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I'll think about it.

Sorry, but it never will.

Can you set this stick to hotspot mode ? (using normal settings, or my Hotspot Control app)

If so, can you test it in Wi-Fi Passthrough (stick connected to camera, second Android device connected to stick over Wi-Fi) and let it run for a few hours ? Seems most of these stick have an issue that kills this after approximately 1 hour, requiring a stick reboot.

I'm not sure the E4GT even support USB host on any kernel, I'm sorry to say.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tornadolf:
I set it up. Assuming that this thing does not burn through the battery at the same speed it does it with my tablet, we'll know the answer soon.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tunguz:
Hmm, that's disappointing. According to the list of devices that are supposedly supported by the DSLRC Samsung Galaxy S2 is supposedly one of them. Are you saying that there are different models of S2 that are supported and have been tested? If so, can you specify which ones?

Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I had the stick on a battery pack and the camera on an AC adapter just to be sure... not sure how quick it would go otherwise :) But thanks for testing this. I'm still on the quest to find a perfect stick/firmware combo. Have the mk802-ii and cx803 myself here. I believe the issue may be fixable on the cx803, but not without Finless' help.

EDIT: Also, can you confirm whether you have an original, or a clone? See http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?3880-MK808B-clones-how-to-identify-them , you should have the rk903 Wi-Fi chipset, I believe.

Exp comp fails to work

Everything seems to be working except Exp Comp; nothing happens when I tap the bar or try to drag it; it just clicks.

Anyone else having the problem?

Anyone seen a manual?

Using Gnex, Canon 60D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tornadolf:
I set it up and it worked fine for 90 minutes, then the battery gave up. It was not fully charged though. I'll try again tomorrow with fresh battery - AC adapter sounds nice, but I need to get some lenses first.

I think I have the original - I've seen the guide, but I'm not really keen to open it up. FWIW, I bought it from geekbuying, so it shouldn't be a clone. I may be stuck with Finless for a while though - I've tried to reboot to CWM last night (I'm having some problems accessing Windows shares from the stick) and could not.

PS. Battery pack - how. There should be a way to hook it up to 4 AA's, right?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
90 minutes sounds very promising. It would be awesome if you can try running this test (with liveview on) again with a full battery. I was not suggesting you get an AC pack, they're pretty expensive for what you get. But for me, with my endless testing, it makes sense to have one, I'm always running out of battery :)

As for battery pack, I just have one of those USB power bank devices to power my stick. I have a 7000mAh one. Doubles as a spare battery for my phone and tablets when traveling. They come in all shapes, sizes, and prices. The 7000mAh one can power my mk802-ii for 24 hours or so I estimate. Of course at home you can just connect the stick to a wall socket ...

You don't need to open the device, if you can get me the Wi-Fi and BT MAC addresses (should be available from Settings -> About) I should be able to figure the chipset from that :)

If you're stuck on Finless, that is not a problem. It'd be the first stick that *somehow* has this working without issue. If it needs to run Finless, so be it. But if your tests work out, I will order one, and see about the original firmware's compatibility as well. I just want to be sure the device is able, I've spent enough money on sticks that *don't* work!

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tornadolf:
Repeated the test. Freshly charged battery in liveview it lasted exactly two hours (yesterday I lowered the mirror for much of the test). No problems with the stick, but refresh rate was kind of slow.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Sounds good. Just to confirm - you are running the stick as an access point, right? :)

What do you estimate the refresh rate to be ? Does the stick support N-mode Wi-Fi ? It works pretty well (obviously not as good as on USB, but much better than expected) with my mk802-ii, until it crashes that is.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tornadolf:
Oh, you wanted me to do it through the portable hotspot. I missed that part. No, it was through the router. Well, let me recharge the battery and try again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tornadolf:
No problem with using stick's hotspot - the same two hours. Refresh rate also picks up considerably - unlike my router both the tablet and stick can handle N. It's not quite 24 fps but the movement is semi-smooth and not lagging, I'd guess it's in 12-16 range.

Unexpected results with HDR

Hi Chainfire,

I have been doing a lot of panography using the HDR feature and as you can understand I set my camera to manual. I get an average exposure for the entire scene and set DSRL controller to do a 3 shot set of each movement with a separation of -2, 0 +2. When I actually make the series of shots my camera is showing a different separation for the 3 shots. Is there anyway I can change this so I actually get the set of exposures I want.

When I set the camera to AV I get the separations I have dialed in to DSLR controller but the exposures vary as I pan the camera. I would like to have manual control of exposure so when I piece together the pano the exposure doesn't vary across the scene.

BTW, this happens whether I select a 5 shot HDR or anything else, the screen on the camera body is showing a different exposure at each step than what is dialed in on DSLR controller.

I'm currently using a 60D and ASUS transformer

regards

Dave
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Skei:
Hi Dave,

I'm not affiliated with Chainfire, but thought I'd offer a suggestion either way.

The 60D can do auto exposure bracketing ( AEB ) without you having to use DSLR Controller. Using the classic firmware, you can take three bracketed shots, I believe up to 3 EV difference between them. If you'd like more than three exposures, I suggest installing the firmware addon, Magic Lantern, which is fantastic. You're now able to do a lot more with your camera. It runs beautifully on my 60D.

Quentin
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
See how complex DSLR Controller's EC/AEB/HDR's features are, you're going to have to be more specific than this. You probably will not have used the exposure compensation button because that's generally disabled in M mode, so I guess you went into the menu and selected the HDR/AEB feature. Which method did you choose? Exactly which configuration did you enter into the screen?

Your camera "is showing a different separation". That says nothing. What are you seeing when? Are you reviewing images? What exactly do you see for those 3 images, and what exactly did you expect to see?

There's a lot of missing information in your post.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bellrb19:
Did you have internet at the location? Install a fresh rom or anything? Sounds like a license check failed. I thought these were just done once, but it might repeat on an interval and you got unlucky. Another guess is Google play store may have updated and needed to perform license checks again. Chainfire will understand this better as I am not a dev.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] king.stivan:
yes thats it :S i have a custom rom on my phones :< and i just re-installed it from with an-app :S anyways i just go to airplan mode and it works well ^^ but after some times it goes in to G play store again but at least i can do stuff tell then with no internet anyways thanks its better now ^^
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Play will only be launched when you have a really old version of Play that doesn't support license verification (which is pretty unlikely) OR if you have no Google account configured OR if the Play store reports specifically that you do *not* have a license (verification failures do not cause this, so if you don't have internet, no problem) OR if the app has been tampered with ...

Hey all, I posted in this thread several months ago with problems with my Samsung Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 not detecting either of my camera bodies. As an update, I discovered that the problem was with the USB Host. It turns out that I had to root the tablet and load a USB host app (USB OTG Helper) to get the tablet to recognize the camera. The stock Tab 2 p5113, at least the one I got from Costco, will NOT recognize Canon camera bodies even though it will recognize and read thumb drives, USB card readers, etc. I haven't tried it with my phone, but I imagine it's the same situation. Its pretty frustrating that I had to do hours of work and research and then hack my machine to make it work the way it should have straight out of the box but there you go. I guess I know what it's like to be an Apple user now :)

I wanted to post this in case someone else was having a similar problem - the solution is rooting, turns out. On the plus side, now that I've got it working, this app seems pretty dope. Good work, Chainfire.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] happyDave:
Crazy Expectations

Hi Chainfire,

Perhaps your right, I guess my expectation level vs camera and software funtionality is a little unrealistic. I know that the 60D is capable of a 1/3 & 1/2 stop exposure increment depending on the custom function setting and with the DLSR controller software in manual mode the main window reflects these increments in the shutter/aperture pop up windows. On the other hand the HDR/Auto-exposure bracketing window in the options menu of your software shows a whole range of increments (+-)1/3, 2/3, 1/2, whole values stops as well as (+-)1/6, 5/6 stops and so on, maybe other model Canons have this level of control over exposure increment, I really don't know. I have to keep in mind what I have set as an exposure increment at the camera and then ignore all the rest. For example, having set the camera to 1/3 stop exposure increment, I need to ignore (+-)1/2 stop and 1/6, 5/6 stop values. A 1/2 stop exposure increment at the camera would only allow me to use 1/2 and whole stop increments. I do realise that your software is still in beta and will probably mature over time.

I do have a couple of questions about Focus Bracketing that you could clear up for me please:), after setting my Step Size and "A" & "B" points in the main window, I tap the options menu, tap Focus Bracketing and I'm presented with a choice of either "Normal" or "Bracket to B"(assuming I have reset back to "A" in the main window). 1st question...What is the choice "Normal" and how do I use it. Mostly I select "Bracket to B" and at times I have selected "Normal" and it gives me a different Step and Shots Number but I really don't know what it is there for. My 2nd Question is, If I can't change the Step Size once the "A" & "B" points have been established, when I go into the Focus Bracketing window, what is the option to change Step Size used for? & for my third and final question :) while in that window how do the direction buttons work, I have already established "Bracket to B" so how will changing the direction work?

I'm just trying to get a handle on this very useful piece of software. For a good reason you have pointed out on your web site why there is a lack of manual, I'm just trying to fill the gaps and understand all of this, and (hopefully) It'll stop me from asking stupid questions....but I am an inquisitive bugger so who knows :) so I'm sorry if these questions have been asked already, I did check out a lot of the previous posts but there are so many pages I gave up after a few hours

To Quentin,

Thank you for the information about Magic Lantern, I have been looking at this for a while now and I may give it a try in the future but at the moment DSLR controller suites my needs as I like the idea of tethering my camera because it is on a tripod most of the time, as for the 60D's features, I am aware of AEB and thank you for the reminder

Thanks again guys,

Regards

Dave
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
First you post that unexpected things happen, but you do not post enough details for me to make out what you're even doing. I point this out, with concise questions so I may figure out what is going on, after which you post another story and do not add any details. You're talking about the stops settings in your camera, but this is not always related to the HDR/AEB feature window, if you're using it right. At this point it sounds to me like you've made some wrong assumptions about how this screen works, got unexpected results, and then made some more wrong assumptions about what you did wrong. Or only one of those two, I don't know.

Generally speaking, if one of the shots you selected isn't possible, it will show up as a red line in the top exposure bar, and the number of shots will say "X (out of Y)" where the difference in those two numbers is the number of shots that are not possible. However, if there's enough room that multiple shots do not overlap, the software will select the closest match (which could in the most extreme case be a 1/2ev difference, but usually not more than 1/6ev). Again, you can see that difference in the top exposure bar in this window, as the lines representing each shot will not be uniformly distributed ...

However, as long as you refrain from posting exactly what you did into the minute details, what you expected to happen (exactly) and what did happen (exactly), with emphasis on all the exactly's, there is no way I can help you. I can't help you understand what you're doing wrong (if anything), and I can't spot if there is maybe a bug that needs fixing. Software only matures over time if problems are spotted, reported in detail, and corrected.

The focus bracketing window lets you select 5 options:

Direction: move focus closer (foreground in focus) or farther (background in focus)

Step: the number of focus adjustments between captures

Step-Size: the size of each focus adjustment (small, medium, large) (effect differs per lens)

Shots: the number of captures

Shot-Type: normal capture or HDR capture

When using this option "normally", you can set anything you want, and it'll remember these values for the next time you use it "normally". Some people and some situations know exactly how and what they're shooting, without needing liveview-based-presets.

When using liveview remote manual focus, with setting the A and B location, the software tries to keep track of these focus positions. If you select to "Bracket to A" or "Bracket to B", it simply calculates the difference between the current focus position, and the stored A or B values. It then pre-sets these values into the focus bracketing window, nothing more nothing less. You can still change all the settings if you want - it will then no longer bracket exactly to B, obviously.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
If you haven't already, sign in to the Play Store on that device using the same Google Account username/password combination you used when purchasing DSLR Controller. That may clear up the issue. Unfortunately, there is also some bug in Google Play that sometimes it forgets apps you purchased (yeah, really), clearing Play Store app's data and rebooting is rumored to sometimes fix that.

Thanks for the info. A lot of people are having issues with the Tab2 10.1 all of a sudden - while this device used to work fine? I think newer firmwares for it may be bugged with an issue older firmwares did not have.
