This might not be the place, but I cant get it to work, and I dont think its the app.

I have a canon 5D MII and a xoom wifi only. I have the motorola camera otg usb cable. I can plug flash drives and that sort of thing into it and it see them.

When I plug my 5D in, it doesnt do anything. If I use a fule manager and go to the usbOTG directory there is nothing in there, like the camera isnt connected.

I did buy that app as I was researching making one for myself before this came out lol

Anyways.. anyone know why the 5D doesnt seem to connect at all?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TheZuneLune:
I am using a 5D II with a Xoom (Verizon 3/4G) as well as the Motorola cable. I have been abler to get it to work. At first there were some issues with the 5D II, but I don't have too much trouble now. So, you can rest assured that it isn't your equipment, it is more likely some settings. What version of Honeycomb are you running?

Actually, it's incredibly helpful on a real life production with a proper team - the camera operator can see the back of the camera, while the 1st AC can use the android device to pull focus. :)

It's a matter of usage... in longer shoot's the liveview on DSLR LCD is only increasing the overheating problem.

Whether or not it useful or not in a certain situation, it would have been nice and cater to all uses if it would be possible to turn it on or off at will.

I finally had a chance to try out follow shot today during a session and shooting in raw + jpg did the trick. It was awesome. Love being able to do this on my tablet.

One last question, is it possible to auto rotate images that are shot in a different orientation? If I have my tablet set up landscape, pics in portrait orientation show up sidewise. Didn't see any settings for that, but maybe I missed something?

Thanks

Hi, I was used this app for long time, in first time, I use it with my archos tablet, everything OK, after I use with my new galaxy note 2 and found some problem.

In the stock rom, I can't use it. So I use a custom rom and it OK, but I have a low framerate and have latency.

(all of my two devices use android 4.1.2)

PS: after full charge, everything ok in galaxy note 2. Maybe the problem will go with low battery level :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] daveid:
My Note II is kind of touch and go with DSLR Controller, often I have to disconnect and reconnect a few times before it will connect properly, though the camera works in other apps (ML Controller, Gallery) every time... not sure why.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Steve R:
Hi,

I have just been given a new tablet as a gift and wish to connect my canon camera to it, I have tried the Remote release which does not work for either my 400D or 650D Canon. I have just been connecting the cameras to the tablet using the normal cable I would use to connect the cameras to my PC, to download the photos there.

If I understand correctly I need a different cable to connect to my tablet..a USb host or on the go cable...this is where I am stuck.

I have a normal USB female port on my tablet and the cameras cable is USB...so should that work ok or do I still need the On the go cable?

Could anyone point me to a cable that I could use please?

Many many thanks in advance.

Steve
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tornadolf:
No, you should be able to use a regular USB cable, USB-OTG adapter is really nothing but microUSB to female USB adapter. It could be that your cable is bad (even though it works on your computer) but it is more likely that either your tablet's hardware does not support USB host, or it's been disabled by the manufacturer. Plug a thumb drive into the tablet, if it is recognized and read - it's the cable. If not - it's the tablet.

Remote Release works Dslr Controller don't works

I installed Remote Release to test my tablet and it works, then i installed DSLR Controller but the app doesn't work, it "cound not find a compatible camera". Why??
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gabibbo97:
Hi everyone, this is the best camera application ever, i use it with my Galaxy S II and Nexus 7,

RAZR Maxx HD with JB compatable

I am running DSLR Controller on the RAZR Maxx HD with Jellybean and having good results. Currently have tested the 50D. Also tried the 40D with limited functions but that is more likely a camera issue not the Controller. I will test the 5dMkII next.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wwjoshdew:
I did a generic search, but couldn't find what I was looking for. I have noticed that if I ONLY look through DSLR controller on my Transformer Prime, it shows "MORE" than the view finder does on the camera. Like I have to look through my 60D's view finder, make sure the phone is in the frame, and know that it's all there. Like the app's view shows more top and bottom than the final video does. I hope that makes sense. It would be awesome if DSLR would finally show me EXACTLY what my camera is seeing, instead of having to look through my cameras view finder so that stuff doesn't get cut off (on the top and bottom).

Like is there a setting that says "match camera's view" or something?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gabibbo97:
This is why the DSLR output the RAW sensor over usb, per example my 600D shows a live feed of about 1920x1088 that is 8 pixel greater in height than the video that is actually being recorded.

The viewfinder always show a part of what the sensor sees, the only camera that i tried that has the same view from semnor and from viewfinder is my dad's EOS 1D X
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wwjoshdew:
That's not what I was talking about. I'm aware of that, and Adobe Premier Pro corrects that. I'm talking about this... Say I'm just looking through DSLR Controller on my Transformer Prime's screen, and I get the phone fully in the shot. Then when I look through my Canon 60D's screen, a good chunk of the top and bottom is cut off. The APP shows so much more of what's being "recorded" than my 60D does, and the final video is "cropped" on the top and bottom as well. Actually, it's not being cropped. If I use the app or not, the final result is always the same. But when I use the app, I have to look through my view finder to make sure everything is in the frame.

Quick Fix would be to like draw a line with a permanent marker on the top and bottom of my Prime's screen, and know that whatever goes past that line, WON'T be in the frame (final video). I'm not mad, and I've come to look past it and make due with what I have. But others are conforming this for them as well. If there's a way to fix it, I wouldn't have to look my camera's view finder anymore, just to make sure it's all in the video.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gabibbo97:
Sorry i misunderstood what you were talking about ,

i really don't know how to help you but yes in your case match camera view would be really useful

@wwjoshdew

I'm not entirely sure that I understand what the problem is, but what about the aspect ratio overlay controls ? 3rd button from the top on the right side (from memory, maybe 2nd or 4th)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wwjoshdew:
You're awesome! That helps a LOT! BUT I use the grid 24/7. I don't want to choose 16x9 without there also being a grid so that I can make sure the object in my videos are centered. Like a 16x9 WITH Grids option?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 150d:
Hi,

I have the app basically working on my SG2, but feel a little lost using it: For example, how can I activate/deactivate live view? I've found the switch in options to set in which mode to start (and both on and off works), but I can't seem to find how to change the mode without restarting the app. There must be a toggle somewhere, but where?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KazeOne:
Awesome on payday I plan to buy, has anyone tried to see if this works with the Magic Lantern firmware? sorry if this has already been asked, I think if Chainfire and the people at Magic Lantern came together to form an advance interface between the two, I think it would be unstoppable. ^_^

Edit: did a search within this thread and it appears people have successfully been able to use this with Magic Lantern so thats awesome, I still think you two could make something really awesome if you team up. :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KazeOne:
yeah I totally agree that would be nice, maybe do a check box so you can select multiple overlays to combine them on the display? or if thats to much then yeah go ahead and make each aspect with a grid to choose from the non grid aspects.

stability problems

Hello,

I have been a happy user of DSRL Controller but recently I am seeing stability issues. I have captured a lot of timelapses during the summer without any issues. Now timelapse shoots randomly stop in a "Capturing..." state after 5-10 minutes (approx 50-200 shots).

I am using a hp touchpad with CM9 on it... might there be some new setting that breaks connection? Any help appreciated.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JBinns:
USB Host?

Hello. I just bought your app and I am really excited to give a go.

Before I begin, here are the "need to knows":

I am using a Canon EOS 60D

I have a USB on the go cable

I am using a Le Pan II with Ice cream sandwich OS installed

I successfully installed your App on my Le Pan.

When I run the app it doesn't detect my camera.

I have read the FAQs. And I have made sure the memory card is inserted and detected properly. I made sure the camera is "awake".

I am not sure where to look next. I am guessing the problem is either my Le Pan is not being a good little USB host OR the cable I bought is not working.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Happy Holidays!

Regards,

J. Binns
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KazeOne:
Does the Le Pan II support USB Host in its kernel? without that it wont be able to see anything outside of a computer being hooked up to it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JBinns:
LOL Good question. I'll do some digging and see if the kernel supports USB host. The kernel version for my Le Pan is 3.0.8-perf... in case anyone reads this and finds the answer to this question before I do.

Thanks for helping in the right direction Kaze. =)

Ok, so the kernel does support USB host. It appears that the OTG cable I have does not have the correct pinouts. I found a forum dedicated to the Le Pan product line. Looks like I am going to have to make my own cable.

EOS-M

Hello. I have a canon EOS-M. Samsung galaxy sii and nexus 7. Before buying the full app decided to try the remote release as recommended.

It succeeded in connecting in that the camera shows a PC icon and the phone/tablet are both asked to open remote release as the default app. Pressing the shutter responds with a failed message. No log messages.

The EOS-M is basically a 650D in a mirror less body, the magic lantern wiki says it uses same dryOs version. Is there anything I can be doing to find a cause or maybe progress compatibility?

Thank you

Chris
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] loektheman:
very nice! thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I actually got an EOS M to work on compatibility with DSLR Controller. First batch.

Unfortunately, the EOS M has all interesting remote control functionality (like capture) blocked. There is currently no way to do anything interesting with it over a USB connection. Maybe with a firmware update later, or maybe the ML guys will hack a working firmware together, I don't know - but out of the box, it's a waste.

Hi. I have been using the controller for quite some time and love it.

Will there be any plans in the future to add waveform capabilities? I use my DSLR's for shooting videos and waveforms would be great! I am not sure whether it can be implemented or not.

Nexus 7 and Canon 60D detection issues SOLVED!

Hi!

First of all, well done on creating a great app! As a filmmaker, I see this as being a crucial component for my filmmaking - especially when doing jib/crane shots. In fact, I bought a Nexus 7 to run this app, because, for little more than the cost of an HDMI monitor, I have a self-contained (battery pack and screen) monitor that doubles as a tablet with WiFi and 3G.

However, I have encountered a problem....

The very first time I used DSLR Controller with my Canon 60D, it worked perfectly. However, since then, on successive retries of using the app, it simply does not see any USB device (my camera!) attached. Even after rebooting the Nexus 7.

However, I HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION!!!

I downloaded and installed your USB Host Diagnostics app. On running the diagnostic, it does not detect the camera, but then instructs me to disconnect and reconnect the USB device. THEN the Nexus 7 detects the camera. I now have DSLR Controller set to Auto run on connecting the camera.

SO....

Something that your USB Host Disgnostics app does apparently fixes the problem (possibly clearing some status flags?), therefore, can I suggest you do the following..?

1) Make the DSLR Controller app a little clearer - tell us WHEN to connect the camera.

2) Run your diagnostic code upon starting the app - it fixes something!

BTW, I have purchased 3 different OTG cables and they are NOT all equal! One refuses to work with the camera at all! The others are ok, but only when running the diagnostic procedure above FIRST.

I hope that helps people out there.

Chainfire's USB Host Diagnostic app can be found in the Google Play store, and it is free.

Let me know if it works for you?

Best regards,

Ian

Hi J.,

Try running Chainfire's USB Host Diagnostic app (free download from Google Play).

On my Nexus 7, it 'fixes' something that then allows DSLR Controller to see my Canon 60D! Maybe this will work for you?

Best regards,

Ian

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KazeOne:
yes but it is still for the most part Alpha state so Im sure once it goes to a Beta state you can load it up onto your camera and then try it with Chainfires android app. Or you can give it a shot now while its in Alpha and see how it goes, it wont hurt the camera since nothing is actually installed onto the camera, if it locks up just power it down remove the battery and sd card, put the battery back in but not the sd card and power the camera back up and it should be fine.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] WTSnake:
Hi, yesterday I bought a new tablet, a BQ Maxwell Plus with Android 4.0.4 ICS and a A9 Dual Core 1,6Ghz plus 1GB RAM.

I'm trying to get DSLR Controller working with my Canon T2i/550D but i think it won't be possible. I use an OTG cable that works fine with all my flash drives, so I think the cable is nice enough, and I use too the original USB cable to attach the camera to the OTG cable.

I tried without being root, because I'm an Android noob, but it didn't work. So I rooted the tablet, and the results with USB Host Diagnostics are these:

Android API

Claims support - NO

Classes found - YES

Device detected - NO

Rooted API

Claims support - YES

Device detected - YES

KERNEL

Claims support - YES

Device detected - YES

VERDICT

OS support - YES

3rd party apps - Rooted

I tried too to use ML Controller, and before rooting the tablet it didn't work, but now it opens and says Version - ML not found!: 0. As I have seen on the official thread of ML Controller, this is because the last ML version (that I already have installed on my camera) is not supported yet by the app, but I think it detects the camera.

Finally, Remote Release & DSLR Controller doesn't recognise my camera. I tried with and without LiveView activated, in M/A/Tv modes and Video mode, but nothing.

Can somebody help me? Thank you so much and apologies for my english.

More Requests

There is defiantly two different “camps” when it comes to using this software. Those who want to control their camera and those who want to tether / review their images. I fall into the latter. To this end, I have another request for you Chain or actually a clarification of a previous request. You have been so wonderful at fulfilling our requests and I personally greatly appreciate it. You know I love this software and use it regularly in my studio. OK, enough grovelling.

I would love a way to default to an Image Review mode on start-up and push the “controller mode” to the menu. What I mean is to have the option to toggle modes and lock into that mode. In my “Real World” environment, I usually am shooting with two cameras. As it stands, every time I switch cameras, the process to get back to Image Review is a bit tedious.

1.	Exit program if in it. This is required to prevent occasional lockup / or error.

2.	Plug in camera

3.	Program launch

4.	Clear error (This is due to a focus mode I have set in cameras, has no effect on use but I get message every time I start up. Would be great to disable this with a “Don’t show again” check box!)

5.	Click menu

6.	Click Image Review / JPG

7.	Click Mode

If I want to then review image in full screen, it’s:

1.	back to menu

2.	Image Review

3.	Then back to menu and do above again.

I have to do this every time I switch Bodies, which may be several time during a shoot. As I said, ”a bit tedious.”

So, realizing that you have so much on your plate, I make this request.

1.	Add option to default start in the Image Review mode of choice and stay there.

2.	Add a small button to open the options menu (So we can get back to other modes).

3.	Add small button in “Gallery Mode” and “Info Mode” to open image in full screen with support for going back (Back Button) to “Previous Mode”

There may even be an idea here for a different slightly lower cost version of DSLRC. A Review / Tether Mode Only version.

Thank you again for everything you do.

Hey Chainfire, I was wondering if there was an ETA for the next update? I know asking such things is never liked, Im not looking for a hard date just a rough idea and if there is anything else we can do to help?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
After next week I have three weeks reserved for exclusive DSLR Controller work, if that doesn't finished the upcoming update, I'd be surprised :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] supermaz:
Hi Chainfire,

I'm really looking forward for the next update. So I was trying to reproduce my problem and found out that it is a OutOfMemory Exception after about 6 to 8 shots. It's a Galaxy Note 10.1 with about 1 GB free out of 2 GB RAM, so I doubt it's a hardware limit. Could it be that the app doesn't free the images which where already loaded? This crash is reproducible and occurs when the image gets loaded after the shot, you should get a crash report via playstore from me, I guess.

Any hints or do you need any more information?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KazeOne:
awesome, looking forward to it ^_^
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kchung:
bluetooth mouse/presenter support would be awesome

First, i want to say I love this app.

I've noticed there is a limitation on USB tethered shooting in that the on-camera or remote shutter buttons do not work, as this is also true when using EOS Utility.

My hack workaround for this is to use a bluetooth mouse with my tablet by leaving the cursor over the shutter button. However, it's a real pain when the mouse accidentally moves off the button.

Feature request:

Support Bluetooth Mouse and Presenters.

Mouse: Middle (wheel) click takes pics, Right click returns to home screen, Wheel up ??, Wheel down ??

Presenter: Next takes pick, Back returns to home screen, Play/Pause goes to full screen LiveView, etc.

Maybe even make the buttons customizable too.

For an example bluetooth presenter, search Amazon for B001HQDFGC, amazon. com/dp/B001HQDFGC
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
These things are tricky to find. After the next update I probably have to make special test for you and this specific case. I have tried it, I cannot reproduce it so far. However, many code relating to this has changed in the upcoming update, so it's really no use testing until that is released.

I'll think about this - it may not be possible in the way you imagine. In the meantime, if you turn off liveview (top-left button) the shutter button will function again, if that is a workable solution.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] supermaz:
I guess! It is really anoying to restart the app twice (the first start after the crash it just closes immediately) after every couple of shots. The Galaxy Note 10.1 is only rooted, otherwise stock (with Directory Bind for some dirs and Link2SD but DSLR-Controller is not linked) and enough free space on every partition. Everything else runs fine. Does anybody else have a Galaxy Note 10.1 here to test?

Maybe I should come over to the Netherlands to let your hands on it ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kchung:
It would be much appreciated.

My use case for the app is self-portraits w/ my 7 month old baby, which doesn't always look at the camera lens. We're using my tablet so we can see if he's looking at the camera and remotely trigger the shot.
