There was some talk about trying to do it using an Android stick (like rikomagic for example) but no one seems to have taken the plunge yet.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] aflocka:
But is there any reason you would think the technology would/would not be compatible with the app? That is, does the app have to "know" certain things about the lens for the focus feature to work properly, or is it purely based off of the lens' capabilities? I ask because the STM lenses are supposedly extremely smooth focusing, which could be attractive for remote focus pulls if they work with the app.

The USB Diagnostics app said that usb functionality was working but that no device was detected. I'm taking some space from this for a bit while I wait for another connector to be delivered. I'll try it again in a bit and see if I can't find out what the problem is. I appreciate the responses and the support you offer for your app. Hopefully I can get it working but it seems for now the stars are aligned against me.

sony U + acer b1 wireless work

sony U + acer b1 wireless work.

:angel: i am happy it's working first try ! thank mr Chainfire for the app. and the time you spend on this forum.

(i am going to build 4 "controled-cam" for video work)

Setup : 550D connected with cheap sony phones in wireless mode(3.5" screen) and as wireless receiver "cheap acer b1" (7" tablet).

next week i am going to test in real work (b-cam) a 3 hour record.

my new question : in wireless mode, is it possible to choose the phone i want too connect to the tablet ? (because i want 4 cam ).

4 550D + 4 sony + 4 b1 = ??? :)

ps: sorry for my bad English.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
There's currently no way to choose between this, no. However, if all these devices support Wi-Fi Direct, you could create 4 "private" networks, each with one U and one B1 in it.

Hey Deadwalrus and Chainfire, I tried hooking my 60d into a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, no dice. Cable accepts USB sticks and all but I can't get it to work for the life of me.

Sounds like the same issue as deadwalrus is having. The tablet is on 4.1.1 and 60d is the latest firmware too. I don't know if it's just us or a wider issue but I thought it was odd as the tab 2 is on the supported list.

Re: [Android 2.3.1/3.x/4.x][27.09.2012] DSLR Controller v0.96.0 BETA [USB HOST REQUIR

After testing the functionality with the free remote app and Helicon, I decided to buy this app. It's a much higher price than I usually pay for apps, but considering the rep of the developer and me being a photo enthusiast I decided it was worth the cost. I'm using a Canon 1000D and a Nexus 7, and it seems to be working perfectly albeit there are limitations because of the camera OS. Hopefully I'll be able to buy a better camera one day. Now I can't wait to get out there and take pictures! Thanks! :)

PS. The GUI could be more intuitive, and needs an overhaul, imo....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] D79_:
Ive searched for the answer but cant find it so I was wondering if someone can help

its say liveview at 30fps but when I use that option nothing changes, I still get very low fps.

Chainfire:

Any future plans to have DSLR controller connect via WiFi (e.g. Canon 6d)?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Yes, it is priced higher. It's ridiculously hard to develop due to having to reverse engineer every single thing, the market is tiny at best, and there are serious costs involved testing and producing this. And still, it's only a third of the cost of a Canon remote release cable, which takes a whopping $0.02 to actually produce.

As for the UI, meh. DSLR Controller isn't meant to be pretty - it's meant to be useful. If you know your camera inside out, the icons match those on your camera, and screen real-estate is maximized for what needs to be done. I actually get a lot of positive comment on the UI, that it's simple, no-nonsense, and doesn't waste any precious screen real-estate with useless clutter and prettiness.

Your camera needs to actually provide and the phone needs to actually be able to decode at 30fps. I get 30fps with the 5D Mark III, about 20fps with my 50D, and about 13fps with my 550D, I'd estimate. This option is an indicator to the app - if the top speed is 15fps, setting it to 15fps will give you a much smoother display than setting it to 30fps.

Yes, as soon as I can find someone to borrow a 6D from or being able to rent it somewhere.

Re: [Android 2.3.1/3.x/4.x][27.09.2012] DSLR Controller v0.96.0 BETA [USB HOST REQUIR

I'm not complaining about the price. It's actually a compliment to you, and a thanks for developing the app. I know people that would rather download and install a pirated version, because they wouldn't pay the price or have no respect for the work you do. So, thank you!

I never said the GUI should be pretty, I don't care about that. I said intuitive. I know my camera, and could use most of the functions in your app right off...but having a button simply labled "A" or "B" doesn't really tell me what it does, or is supposed to do. I'm sure these questions will be covered in the "how-to" section in the future :)

So anyways, no criticism, just feedback
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
It'll be obvious to anyone who has used an A-B focus pull. It's also explained in detail here: http://dslrcontroller.com/guide-rmf_focuspull.php.

But I now understand where you are coming from though. The 1000D does not support normal autofocus functionality over USB. The app detects this, and automatically switches to R-MF mode. Users with newer model cameras do not get these options on screen (unless they manually switch to R-MF mode) ... I can see how it can be a bit confusing if you're presented with this screen at the start.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] D79_:
Ok thank you, ill give it a try

Re: [Android 2.3.1/3.x/4.x][27.09.2012] DSLR Controller v0.96.0 BETA [USB HOST REQUIR

Ah! Thanks for the explanation! Every day I learn something new :) my camera doesn't support video recording, and I'm more into photography than making videos so I didn't know about Focus Pulling, which seems to me to be a more video related feature. I'm going to dive into photo stacking using the DSLR Controller...I just need to find some free time :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] D79_:
This app don't seem to support my Canon 600D, the frame rates are way to low in movir mode, and ive tried all the settings and still low fps. Also this app doesnt seem to support magic lantern and I use magic lantern alot.

This apps a nice idea though so keep up the good work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mattitta:
great but

I've tried both helicon remote and yours. I like helicon's focus stacking feature better but what their asking for the app is just to much in my opinion. Dslr controller has more otions and is better priced. That said i seem to have some issue's, I'm using a 7d with accer iconia A210. if you look at the images you can see how when i change to hdr focus stacking the number of shots changes and that the type of shots is cutoff. Also in timelapse the interval and number of shots is cutoff. The only thing i would change is the placement of the controls for focusing on the focus stacking screen as they are over the image on the top and bottom of the screen making it difficult to focus on the closest and fartherist points. I still like your app better then helicons. Tank you.

I bought the DSLR Controller and I can't download it from the play store through my Nexus 7 (4.2.2). It says "Your device isn't compatible with this version." When I head over to the Play Store through the browser I can send it to my other Nexus 7 but not this one. :confused:

I'm having exactly the same problem. I have a Canon T2i (550D) that has firmware 1.0.9.

I'm using the USB cable that came with my Nexus 7, and it's connected to an adaptor cable that looks like a typical USB Host/OTG cable, (it came with an Android tablet that I bought about three years ago). I've just ordered another OTG cable via eBay, so here's hoping that works. If not, I'll be asking for a refund of what I paid for the app and taking the Nexus 7 back to the store for a refund too.

External Flash not firing

I have a Canon 450D, Nexus 7 tablet, Cactus V4 Wireless Flash Tx/Rx Set and a couple of non canon flashes and the flash triggering is not working. I do not have a setting for enable/disable silent mode on the camera and I do understand that this is something that the camera controls for your software. Is this going to be something that your working on in the future so I can possibly use my DSLR Controller with various external flashes? I would really like to be able to use flashes with liveview controlled by my tablet with the Canon 450D.

Re: Feature proposal: Image overlay

DSLR Controller is a great piece of software. Thanks Chainfire.

I second the Image Overlay feature request. Will be very useful when doing multiple exposures and/or panorama shots.

Magic Lantern already has this function (Ghost Image) and I found it indispensable, even for some landscape work.

Feature Suggestion - Transfer All Image Files

I have just installed DSLRController on my CM10.1/4.2.2 Samsung Galaxy Note II and it works great with my Canon 5DMKII.

I note you are working on a new feature to have the image transferred directly to the Android device and I'd like to suggest that you consider expanding this idea to allow transfer of existing images in addition to the one just captured. My use case is that I will use a mixture of tethered and untethered photography and will need to move all the captured images RAW+JPG to my Android device for cloud upload.

Cheers and well done on a fantastic app,

First post ....

Installed on Galaxy Note2 N7105 with Canon 1Dsmk3 no issues ....... but I do have one question. Is there a way to see focus points and which one is locked as main focus point.

Edit: bit of a read may be due to the canon VxWorks

Great app along with exposure calculator may need to get out and test 10 stop filter on some landscapes :)

Device to purchase to use with DSLR controller

I have a 5D MKII and a T2i camera that I would like to use in video mode with the DSLR controller app. I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of which of these tablets I can purchase at Best buy would be my best option. I have $50 in reward certificates which is why I mentioned Best Buy.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7"

Kindle Fire HD 7"

Acer - Iconia Tab A110

Thanks for the input!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kidexi:
I would not buy the Kindle - there you are only able to use the Amazon App shop, not the Google Play store. It is not a real Android system - it is very strong modified by Amazon. You should also (if possible) think about the Nexus 7 - it does have a very high ppi resolution (better than on a Ipad).

Ive been trying to get this to work on the Motorola Atrix 2.

I made my own usb cable that the atrix recognizes as usb. It has the host capability.

However the program just doesnt interface with it. Maybe it has a different mount point? That might be smoething to look into. It would open up alot of other phones that this program does not work on.

Ill post a screenshot when i can.

*edit* there we go

well maybe not apparantly i cant yet. Either way, i have pictures if you want them

Basically usb version 4.4

Host mounts usb controller works.

It recognizes the camera as Canon however this program here still does not work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
There are various levels of USB host compatibility in Android ... you've probably only fixed the kernel level, but the Android portion is still not working. (Some apps use kernel-level USB, others use Android level - now that I've build DSLR Controller, I wish I went with the kernel-level support, but that is hindsight).

You can check in a root shell if "/system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.usb.host.xml" exists, and if it does not, try this:

mount -o rw,remount /system /system
echo "<permissions><feature name=\"android.hardware.usb.host\"/></permissions>" > /system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.usb.host.xml
reboot

On some devices that makes it work ... :)

Chainfire, now that your USB host adapter has arrived for your 10.1 GTab, have you been able to replicate the issues I had when connected to your 50D (i.e. the touch to focus problems, and the camera getting stuck in "BUSY" status after the autofucus? Cheers :cool:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
That's some sync delay - much more than I'm seeing on my SGS2, at least, I think it's about 50ms on that. Granted though, the SGS2 is quite a bit more powerful in the speed department and only has half the pixels to push to boot. (For my SGT 10.1, see the bottom of this post)

Regarding that feature request, I'll think about it, but it's bottom of the list.

Search the menus, see if there's a "PTP" mode you can set. Apparently some models have that, but I have no idea which ones. Also, if you have not upgraded your Xoom to Android 3.2, do so. Apparently the USB host doesn't work properly pre-3.2. I'm just repeating what I heard though, I don't even have a Xoom.

Not yet, I only got the adapter this morning. Actually that was most of my to-do list for today, but my 10.1v decided that 3 FPS is good enough for me. Obviously I disagree, so I spent most of the day searching for the problem, loading different firmwares, looking into hardware JPEG decoding, etc etc. I think I've found what the issue is now though, and as a result, more FPS for everybody, hopefully. I know it has an effect on my SGS2, I've had to artificially limit the FPS or the camera goes nuts.

Sorry, 50D and liveview-off tests (might fix the non-liveview users issues) is top of the list, as soon as I get this dang tablet to give me liveview I can actually use.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Apachi2k:
I updated to the latest firmware for the camera to rule out the sync delay as a firmware issue. I am on the latest firmware on 5d mkii and there is a noticeable delay. I also just tested the quick focus mode and it still locks up the control if I use it once.

Unfortunately I think I know the answer before I even ask, BUT if I don't ask I don't find out for definite do I.... :)

The Dell Streak was lauched with USB Host capability (on 1.6). Now DJ Steve has added it back into StreakDroid 1.9.1, which I'm running. I realise it's Froyo (2.2.2?) based but would it have any chance of running the app?

Alternatively would "Gingerstreak" 2.0 have any chance of making it work?

The streak would be almost perfect for this app (in terms of screen size and portability). Plus I have a 50D and a 7D....

it is simpler for BreezeSys as they use the Canon SDK: edsdk.dll and edsimage.dll.

handling a new model is simply updating the Canon DLL and verify there is no functional regression.

without

100% preview/shoot on tablet

I've browsed throgh previous pages and have not found answer.

As far as I understood there is no possibility to look pictures after shooting them at 100%, right?

So there is no option as "shoot to monitor" when images automaticly downloading to computer/tablet and me or editor can view them on hi quality relativly big screen and compare to previous ones while shooting is going on. (it would be even more great if basic corrections will be availble for raw files such as color balance and exposure). Right?

As studio photographer - I must say - this is very expected option for android tablets.
