Found the issue. Since there are 2 memory cards (CF and SD), the app loads the pics from SD first and then CF (not sure whether the app uses the filenames to sort or the SD will always be loaded first). The current settings is to store pics taken into CF which is why I don't see the latest images at the top of the image review in the app.

EOS 6D + Galaxy Tab 10.1 (CM 10.1)

I got my new 6D yesterday and today i had a little time to try the camera with DSLR Controller.

It all works fine (i had to disable the silent mode for the studio flash).

Thanks for this great app.

No video playback

I can record video properly using the app, but I cannot get video playback. Whenever I click on a clip, it says loading and then it just goes to a black screen. Is there a fix for this, or is there no functionality for that yet?

I'm having the same issue with my image review, I have the small thumbnails on the right side but no large image, just a black screen.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] E3ka:
Maybe it could help when you give a little bit information like what kind of phone you are using.

I have the same issue, but thought it was because of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 which can not really deal with 1080p.

I can't found "Video-Playback" on the feature list: dslrcontroller. com/about.php - just "Video recording")
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
There is no video playback in DSLR Controller at this time, nor is it expected any time soon.

Android cannot playback the video format by default, and most custom solutions do not allow to use hardware acceleration. And if they do, then not on all devices - not even on most. That's not even considering that video needs to be transferred in its entirety from the camera to the device before it can be played back - which is a lengthy process indeed.

Image review should definitely work, though! :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] E3ka:
The handling is a bit misleading. It looks like the app is trying to load the video and fails. A display "video preview is not possible." would make more sense.

Thanks for the great app. I find it very useful. any chance you could add a time sync option to synchronize the camera and tablet time?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pspilot:
But only with DSLR Controller. I assumed long time ago that there are timing problems only with this app. I even tried to talk about it in this thread. I bought 5 different OTG Adapters for 3 different Android devices (Note, S2, Tab 7.7) and used countless standard USB-cables to connect 3 different cameras (5DII, 5DIII & 1DmkIV). It was all the same frustrating results. Some of the cable combinations worked for a while, never reliable for hours, some didn't even do the initial connection. It seemed that the shorter the cable the better. Chainfire always stated he can't influence nothing regarding that 'USB-quality'. Now Helicon is on the market, doing alot of things DSLR Controller is doing, especially regarding the USB communication with the camera (I don't want to compare the features!). Guess what? ALL of my cables are working flawless! Same cameras (well, the 5DII is gone), same Android devices (again, the S2 is gone). I can use any OTG adapter even with the long original Canon USB cable. No problem live viewing the pic or focus stacking, both using some heavy communication.

Don't get me wrong, I still would like to use rather DSLR Controller, but it's too picky about the USB connection. Additionally, since Helicon is working so well in that respect, I have a hard time believing the app can't do anything for a good USB communication.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] UK_Wildcats_Fans:
I have the 60D. A friend has the 500D, and I believe in one of the prior conversations he mentioned having to change the shutter speed. In M or Tv, you can keep rolling the shutter speed to the highest level until you get to BULB. I don't know if you have the camera set this way or not, but I would assume the app will not work unless you have this set.

Hey Chainfire just want to report the following:

Tested with Canon 550D.

The Remote Release app works well on Xperia T (LT30p) official JellyBean update. So I bought this app on market. But it didn't detect camera even though the Remote Release app had detected camera properly... Please investigate..

I have tested this on the Xperia S (LT26i) with official ICS firmware and it works perfectly! Thank you Chainfire! but please do investigate why its not working on the Xperia T...

Hullo again,

I'm enjoying this app very much, especially the ability to control focus remotely. I do have a question regarding that feature that I'm hoping people will have had experience or Chainfire can answer:

Is the remote focus pulling feature compatible with the new STM lenses (such as the 40mm f2.8) If the app supports them, I would imagine they would work very well, as their autofocus is smoother, in theory. Anybody able to shed some light on this?

The Histogramm don't work by Samsung Note 2

Hello Chainfire

I want you Reports about EOS 5D Mark II, and Samsung Note2 with DSLR Controller.

The DSLR Controller the Live-Histogramm (both,RGB and simple Histogramm) both does not work.

For example the Kamera is in M-modus: the histogram does not change when I change the exposure.

And still stays in the same position. Whether I overexpose,

or underexposure. Nothing happend.

The same is for exposure in AV and TV mode.

But when I move the camera lens, then moves the Histogramm.

But the display shows the exposure not correct.

Your "USB Host Diagnostics" show all features "Yes"

So I don't have any control, whether the image is correct exposed or not.

Please, can you look for this Problem, or you have one simply explanation for that?

Nice Greeting :)

Mirojan

PS.:

Addendum:

I have solved my problem already.

Was just the wrong setting. It was set to the spot measurement.

Of course, that could not good work,

Evaluative metering it should be.

Now everything is working fine.

Thank you

Greeting

Mirojan

Audio / Headphone monitoring

Hi, just a suggestion for future releases, would it be possible to monitor audio in video mode via headphones plugged into my android device? I know that with the right adapters and the AV (RCA) cable that Canon supplies with its cameras, you can actually monitor the audio in real time on some cameras such as the T2i or 60D, and since this cable plugs in directly into the mini USB, just like the OTG cable, I thought that it might not be that hard to get the audio from the camera :)

here are some links showing how it works:

youtube.com/watch?v=BnEtj5l3acs

youtube.com/watch?v=liR6GBc8Vus
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
As I understand it, the audio comes from special pins in the port, and is not actually transmitted using traditional USB to the client device. I have no personal experience with this, but I know at least one user was looking into making a splitter of some kind to separate the audio signal from the USB signal, and use both at the same time. There was some mention of Magic Lantern in that combination as well, possibly to force the camera to send out both signals at the same time (which I guess would normally be an either/or situation). I have no idea about the current status of this, though, or if it's even possible at all.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Interesting, it works fine with my 550D on my Xperia T ... But I did notice something funky is going on with the T, sometimes it does not detect USB devices at all. I'll see if I can replicate the problem further.

Exposure Level Indicator Canon 5D Mk II

I shoot in Manual. I cannot get the exposure level (to the left of the ISO on the display from the software) to highlight for me to change it on the display at all.Normally on my Canon is roll the dial to level out the metering to where I want it. Without this, the software is useless to me. Is there a setting I should be looking for in the camera menu to fix this problem? I'm using this on a Samsung Note 10.1 tablet.

thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Skirball:
Sorry, I don't follow. Do you mean that the exposure meter isn't updating as you change the Aperture/Speed/ISO? If you're in full manual you don't change the exposure level directly (like you could in Aperture or Shutter priority mode), you change the A/S/I and the exposure level (or what the camera thinks should be the exposure level) adjusts accordingly. Personally I don't even look at that little meter if I have a histogram, but that's just my preference.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] auctionseller2k:
Yes the meter in the software doesnt move at all. It remains centered no matter what i do. It seems "locked" and doesnt allow me to affect it at all. I just thought of this also, if it stays like this, then I wouldnt be able to do a multi exposure hdr image either. The images on the site show that meter with a red line on either side of center. I dont even get that.

When I shoot in Manual, I set my ISO, and Aperture and "center" the meter to get my shot.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Skirball:
Unfortunately I don't have the program to experiment (as I've got a 8.9 KFHD and am still in the process of getting USB Host) but something still seems off in your description. In full manual (M) you should set your ISO, then Aperture, then you "center" by adjusting the Shutter Speed (or in whatever order based on your shooting needs). What you're describing sounds more like Aperture Priority (Av) mode. Again, I can't say how the program works, but if you're in Full Manual (M) then I wouldn't expect you to be able to adjust the exposure meter on the tablet - either try changing the shutter speed and see if the meter changes, or go to Aperture Priority (Av).

Edit: I gave this some more thought and I think I know where the disconnect is. I'm guessing that you do normally shoot in Manual, but after setting ISO and Aperture you’ve been moving the dial while watching the exposure meter, not realizing that what you’re really doing is changing the shutter speed and the meter is just adjusting accordingly. As I said above, in full manual the exposure meter shouldn’t be adjustable. If you’re going to rely on that meter (over the histogram) you may as well shoot in Av. Based on your name I’m assuming you’re taking pictures of objects in a studio setting, in which case the meter is probably reliable enough.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] auctionseller2k:
Yes thats basically what I am doing. The dial on the camera is adjusting the shutter speed and i use the meter to get it in the center where i want it. But...in the software...the meter never moves....so i really dont know if the shot is "balanced" or not. If you look on the site on the about page, the images show the meter and show 1 line on each side of center (for a hdr shot) and at the bottom image it shows that the meter isnt centered at all...mine doesnt do that...the meter never moves at all. so i dont know if the shot is going to be balanced or not. Thanks

tethering small phone too cheap tablette

Hello everyone, my question concerns the use wifi/tethering for vidéo.

1) for the Transmitter : I want a phone or tablet that works well in wifi tethering (cheap if possible) someone know if a phone with a 3,5" screen could do the job? (Eg Sony-U have ICS and OTG)

2) for the Receiver : someone know if any tablet with wifi and ics work (even without OTG)?

thanks.

ps: sorry for my bad English.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
So in fact, you are using the Exposure Compensation as a light meter indicator - you're not changing it, you're *reading* it to see when your exposure is correct ?

This does indeed not work on all cameras - actually it only works on very few. As far as I know, the camera doesn't send this (very useful) information to the program at all, so there's no way to display it.

Sorry but I don't recommend hardware.

Hi Purchased your app today and it is great. I use a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 500d. I did notice today that the focus and metering boxes seam to be restricted in location on the screen. I cannot move the boxes to the full top of screen or full left of screen. Is there a fix for this in the making.

Thanks in advance.

It must send it somehow because it shows the meter centerline in a different position in the screenshots.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
If the rest of the device is compatible, I don't see why the 3.5" screen would be a problem.

The camera restricts this, not the app.

Yes, unless you misread the screenshot, or the screenshot is from a different camera than yours that does send the information.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] deadwalrus:
So I'm at my wits end here and I'm wondering if anybody can help me out. I cant get either my 7d or my 1d mk IV to detect on my tablet or phone. I am using a Samsung Tab 2 10.1 and a Galaxy SII phone. I've tried five different cables, three different connectors, two different cameras, two devices and a few different apps and absolutely nothing will detect my cameras. Am I missing something here? I know the connectors work because they talk to my desktop and will read thumb drives / sdhc cards. I know the cords work because my cameras will talk to my computer just fine. I've tried every variation of connecting and powering on, the cameras are definitely awake, etc.

I've read through some of this giant thread but all I've seen is this Canon/Samsung combo either works perfectly right out of the box or it doesnt work at all and I can't seem to find any solutions for the "doesnt work" part anywhere. Are there Samsung firmware updates or drivers I need to install? I'd really love to use this app I hastily purchased or, failing that, just be able to dump photos directly via cable without having to pull my CF card and plug it into a USB card reader (which works, btw. Camera won't connect but card reader will. Why? Who knows!). Ugh, half the reason I bought this tablet was to hopefully use it with my photography. Very frustrating. Is there anything else I can try?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Have you tried the "USB Host Diagnostics" app to see what that says about your device's capabilities ?

I'm not sure about the face detection, but the Helicon remote app certainly does have the exact same focus area limitation. Turn on the LCD screen on the back of your camera and try to focus as closely to the edge of the picture as possible - you'll get the exact same spot whether you use DSLR Controller or Helicon.

Which apps did you try ? Have you tried "USB Host Diagnostics" ? Which firmwares are you running ? In case of the SII, make sure you are running the latest Android 4.x firmware (there are some 2.x firmwares that work, but there's not really a list which ones). Not sure about the Tab2, from what I know about every firmware should pretty much work, so that could hardly be the problem ... Just guessing here, really.

I did try USB Host Diagnostics along with another USB storage app, Helicon and a RAW image viewer. I'm running 4.1.1 on the Tab and 4.0.4 on the SII. None of them detected the cameras. I guess I was just trying to determine if there was a step I was overlooking, like needing to install some specific driver package or something but it sounds like you're saying it should work out of the box on current firmware. Could it be that every one of my cables and all of the connectors I tried are insufficient? Because if so, that's really frustrating.

DLCPM Controller over WiFi with WFT-E5

I wonder if there's any way into connecting the android tablet running DSLR Controller application to a DSLR Canon camera over a wireless device attached directly to the camera like WFT-E5 (for a Canon 7D for instance), without the use of the USB cable ?

I already have the application running with no problem with a Samsung Galaxy Note tablet with USB cable, but i wonder if there's any way to have more freedom using this application and the WFT-E5 on the Canon camera..

Thank you in advance for your answer.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
What was the output of USB Host Diagnostics ?

Yes, it could be the case that all the cables and connectors you have tried are faulty - but it's not very likely. Of course, you could have a strong case of bad luck. But even cables that do not work with DSLR Controller should let USB Host Diagnostics detect for example a USB stick.

It could also be both your firmwares are somehow incompatible - which is weird, as both devices have firmwares that work, and you being stuck with a firmware on both devices that doesn't happen to work is also not very likely.

In truth, I find it hard to guess. You can have a faulty firmware, faulty hardware, faulty cables, etc, but it seems you have tried multiple of each and still get nothing - that's just weird. I know people are using DSLR Controller with both of these devices (the S2 I have myself, even).

Not me.

Are you low on battery by any chance ? Weird stuff starts happening if either the Android device or the camera are low on battery. There is no structural issue with the 550D at least that I know of, it's one of my test devices.

Theoretically this is possible, but I have not built it yet. Why not ? Because I don't have a WFT and they're darned expensive. I assume this will also allow compatibility with the 6D's Wi-Fi mode. I'm trying to find either one to borrow or rent, but so far have had no luck. It's high up on my priority list though, and I go looking for ones to borrow or rent every few weeks.
