I bought your app for Android, it connected my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge to my Canon T6i via wi-fi. Then a few weeks later, it no longer works. I tried to delete the wifi settings on camera and start the connection over again. Still no luck.

Meanwhile, the native Canon's Camera Connect app for android can connect with my phone via wi-fi with no problem at all. So my phone and camera should work. It should be some problem with your app

Is it possible that some update affected the connectivity?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] russellsnr:
Have you updated to the latest version ?

Updated

18 August 2017

Current Version

1.06

Russ.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] onyxlee:
Yes it is 1.06. It was working before the update. So I am actually thinking about disabling autoupdate.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] russellsnr:
Only thing I would suggest is delete the app and re-install or try previous version, if previous version works then maybe Chainfire can help. Russ
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] onyxlee:
Thank you, Russ! Reinstalling worked! Wondering if the same thing happens where I don't have internet, what would you recommend?

Also, I found another few things:

1, during timelapse, if I hit power button on my cellphone to turn off the screen, the timelapse will continue. But if I hit the home button, the app will probably take another one or two photos tops, then crash. That means I can't do anything with my cellphone while it's controlling the camera. Could you make your app run in the backstage?

2, I found very difficult to touch and focus. I am using Canon T6i and Samsung S6 Edge. I can only drag the focus box around and then touch anywhere on the cellphone screen, the camera will find a focus within that box. But I remember seeing videos where people click anywhere on the screen, and camera will focus there.

Thank you again for your help.

Btw, are you planning to add more features in your app, such as trap focus and sound trigger, lightning trigger and so on, like the Magic Lantern firmware?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] russellsnr:
'where I don't have internet' If you mean it stops working (it shouldn't if working now) while away from an internet connection then do what I did 'bought a cheap Android used phone or tablet and use it as a back up as you would a second camera. Timelapse? I have no idea I only take still images (photographs) no interest in video etc. Focusing? you have to move the box where you want to focus then tap anywhere on the screen, you cannot place the focus box in one area then have the camera auto focus elswhere. I have asked for the auto focus when you move the box to a point but as yet it has not been included.

It is not my app I just use it and so far with the new updated app have had zero problems. Russ
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] onyxlee:
Haha, I totally thought you were the legendary developer. :D My apology! Thank you for your info. Very helpful! :good:

So when you switch to other apps from DSLR controller, will it freak out as well? I guess not?

galaxy s8 support?

hi i have a galaxy s8 and want to know if i can use it with dslr controller,

i see that some people on this tread say it works for them and some say it doesnt.

on the website of dslrcontroller it says it has no support for the s8, but in this thread i see the phoneserial( sm g950f) is supported. so thats very confusing.

hope that someone knows for sure if it works or not, thnx.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] yottabit01:
There is a response in this thread stating the intervalometer can be used for automated HDR, but I want to ask a very specific question about intervalometer and bracketing since I haven't found an external trigger that supports my exact use case yet.

I want to set the camera to bracket 5 or 7 exposures (AEB), and I want the intervalometer to take all 5 or 7 exposures sequentially without delay, and then pause the specified time before firing off the sequence again.

The 80D built-in intervalometer doesn't work this way... It waits the specified delay time between each of the 5 or 7 sequential bracketed exposures.

Magic Lantern works as I desired on my 70D, but I've traded up for the 80D now and sadly there's no Magic Lantern support yet.

Can anyone confirm this app will support my use case before I purchase it? Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] karmalla:
ok, tried the free remote release app as described. that one worked, so it tried the dslr controller and it work fine on the s8 . so thats great.

two things that are not working on my device is the video function and auto-tracking focus. hope that will be fixed soon.

also an idea for the samsung s8 support might be a half press trigger on the 3d touch button.( the cascable app has it on iphone).

but what i really like is the time-lapse function and hdr/focus bracketing, my 700d can only AEB 3 shots and has no focus bracking function, so this is really great. thnx a lot! :)

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Deanimator:
I've been using DSLR Controller with great success for a while.

I recently updated my lighting with the following gear:

* 2 Amazon Basics manual flashes

* Neewer 16 channel flash trigger and 2 receivers

The issue that I have is that the trigger will fire the flashes with the test button, and the camera will fire the flashes when I'm not in live view mode or DSLR Controller.

Is there some setting that will fix this?

DSLR Controller will fire my TTL Sigma flash when on the hot shoe or on a TTL cable.

Thanks.

So I have used this a few times with T6i, Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 and Pixel XL...overall I love the app, but was wondering what image transfer rate is. Seems to take too long to transfer image to view results, really slows down the shoot. Which device is wireless host? I assume the camera, the way setup goes. Is USB faster? Is TP Link solution faster? Any suggestions? Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] russellsnr:
Faster?

Hi, connection via USB is always I would think going to be the fastest option as wireless has to go from camera via TX throudh the air (same as the wi-fi on a computer) and that is going to be slower.

Viewing images is a two slot option, (1) setup the app to transfer your RAW files to camera SD card only and (2) show only Jpegs on your tablet and that for me is quite fast on a Nexus 7.

Hope it helps. Russ

Problem with buttons and wifi connection

Hi, I recently downloaded DSLR controller, its so nice to have the extra functions on my camera now.

I've been having a problem recently though, I have a Canon 1300D and am using my Galaxy Tab Pro to control it over wifi.

It works fine at first but after taking a couple pictures several of the buttons become dark grey and are locked, such as the exposure setting and aperture setting. The ISO setting remains unlocked. I have my camera set to manual and when the app is freshly loaded the mentioned buttons are light grey and are adjustable. Like I said the problem only begins after taking a few pictures.

Another problem Ive noticed is that when I try to use the app on my phone (LG Stylo 2) the app opens up and looks for my camera but never finds it and immediately turns off after the notice of failure. I can use the stock canon app on this phone just fine over wifi and am doing the process identically to the manner I use with my tablet.

Any hints anyone can give to resolving either problem would be greatly appreciated

Issues with EOS 5D3 Firmware 1.3.4

Since upgrading the firmware of my EOS 5D3 to version 1.3.4, DLSR Controller will not connect to it. It "sees" the camera but displays a message saying that the camera was contacted but could not be connected.

The message recommended that I power down/up the camera and try again. Needless to say that didn't work. Nor did anything else I tried.

BTW: Using a TP-Link TL-MR3040 - it has the latest firmware.

The reason that I think it is the new firmware is that that is the only thing that has changed since the last time I use DSLR Controller.

Has anybody managed to use DSLR Controller with 1.3.4?

Freezing for no apparent reason

Hi,

I'm using 1.06 on a Samsung Note 4 with a Canon 5D3. Last time I used the combination no trouble. This time all seems well when I flick the switch on the back of the camera to video for anywhere from 10- 30 seconds when there's a clunk as the shutter does something in the camera, the live display freezes and DSLR controller becomes unresponsive. A message appears on the camera screen which has a yellow lozenge with an exclamation mark in it over the text Press START STOP button to activate movie shooting.

It does it randomly when recording too.

I have no idea what's going on. Flicking the switch back to the upright still shooting position releases the shutter and the Android screen becomes responsive again. Flicking it back to the movie shooting position all appears well until it does it again shortly afterwards. It can take anything from 10 seconds to a minute or two. It's most frustrating.

Any ideas? I don't think I've changed anything since last I used it, though of course the phone could easily have updated the DSLR Controller app in the meantime, it tends to be sneaky like that.

RE-Load

Hi, after the last update I had problems with DSLC so advised admin and he put up a fresh install. You may wish to re-install DSLRC from scratch as it worked for me on a 6D. Russ
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Clive Photo:
Cheers. I did that and it was still giving problems. Then I noticed that it was doing it without DSLRC! What fooled me was a change of lens. No trouble with the 24-70 but the 100-400 appears to be the source of the trouble. Updated to the latest firmware and so far all is looking well. You just spend your life keeping up with firmware & software changes, each one bringing new solutions to old problems and seemingly new problems to solve later. Thanks for your help, will have done no harm to do a fresh install.

EOS 750D not found

Hi,

I've bought a new EOS 750D and tried to connect to DSLR controller first over build-in Wifi, then Wifi with Nexx WT3020 and at last over USB. In every case DSLR controller could not find a compatible camera. With my old EOS 550D it's working!

On the other hand my EOS 750D is working with the App "Camera Connect" from Canon.

Maybe it is a issue of the camera firmware? But my camera has firmware version 1.0.0

Any idea?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Skysurfer14:
I found out, what the problem was: In the settings menu of the camera, disabling Wi-Fi/NFC does the trick. With Wi-Fi/NFC disabled, DSLR controller is working by USB and Nexx WT3020.

Change Cable

Hi, I do not have a 5D lll or a Galaxy Tablet Tab but I would suggest to change the cable that came with the camera, I have a 6D and a 70D and neither would work with that cable, I think it's a quality issue with them as they are made as cheap as can be to package with the cameras., note you are also using two cables and that is another break in the connection if one cable is faulty. Don't no about the 5D lll but if it has wireless give that a try and if you have another option for viewing, Nexus Tablet or the like try that as I don't see your SGT in the list of working tablets/phones http://dslrcontroller.com/devices.php but I don't no anything about these phones/tablets.

DSLR Controller stores my CR.2 images (from a 7D Mark 2) in a folder called "Dieser PC\P027\Interner gemeinsamer Speicher\DSLRController\ae0d3d15\0000\". I cannot change the location, where the images are stored, right?

Anyway, I can see (with "RawDroid") that those files are in that folder and are about 23Mb big. So they are there.

But when I connect my tablet via USB to my Windows 10 PC, there aren´t any CR.2 files in that folder. Only very small 10KB files with the same name and also .CR 2 extension.

So how can I get the Raw files from my tablet into my PC?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] russellsnr:
SD Card Better Option

You can have the images sent to your card in the camera rather than to your tablet, this makes it a lot easier to transfer to your computer and probably a lot faster.

You can still view images on the tablet but set it to Jpeg only on the tablet and RAW to the camera, again a faster way to view images.

Russ
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] stevenskl:
Thanks for your reply, but my workflow is different. I save CR2 files in camera AND in tablet, just in case that the files in camera get corrupted (due to a defect card etc.). In this case I need a backup, which are the CR2 files on my tablet.

The 7D MK2 has 2 Card slots: a CF Card and an SD Card. So you normally can use the SD Card as a backup. But the camera itselfdoesn´t have WLAN. But Canon sells a WLAN SD Card, which allows to use DSLR Controller. Very nice, but the WLAN card cannot store files by itself ( in contrast to a standard SD Card).

So if I want WLAN to be able to use DSLR controller AND want a backup, I have to use the tablet as backup.

What I did now: I installed ES file manager on my tablet. Then I can zip the CR2 files. In this case the Windows Explorer can finally see the files again.

Zoom 20x ? (beyond 10x)

Hi , great app! Can you add "extra" zoom beyond the 10x that I can get in LiveView (and in DSLR controller)? As I get older I find that 10x is not enough, because I cannot focus on the camera's screen or the phone's screen very well.

At the moment, I am holding a loupe (magnifying glass) over the camera/phone screen which I find really helpful, but it would be great to do this digitally.

Thanks for the fantastic app!

I love this app, it works so well on my Canon T3. I have a manual barn door mount that I use to take astro photos, I use the bulb mode as when the shutter is open there is a second count up displayed in the middle of DSL Controller.

I would really like to use the timelapse mode but this does not show a second count up when the shutter is open.

To use my manual barn door mount I am turning a handle at one revolution per minute and use seeing the second count up when in bulb mode to track my position of turning the handle to elapsed seconds.

My enhancement idea is please could we have a second count up to display when the shutter is open in time lapse. (second as in unit of time)

RFC on good currently working tablets, and future of this app?

Hello all,

I've had DSLR Controller working in the past with a Canon 600D->TP-LINK->Nook Color (CyanogenMod). On installing the latest version of the DSLR app, the Nook no longer finds the device. It does work with my Galaxy Note 3, so I presume something in the newer version no longer supports the Nook, or CyanogenMod, or something else has happened. So...

Two questions:

1) Would anyone like to suggest a decent budget tablet that they know works perfectly with the current DSLR Controller version, possibly with a 9"-10" screen? I'll primarily use it just as monitor, so cheap is good, but I'd definitely like to hear of tablets also known to work with the TP-LINK MR3040 v2, and potentially any tablet with an HDMI-In connection so I could run the camera HDMI out to it.

2) Since it appears Chainfire is no longer working on or actively supporting this app (not that I know anything for sure)...isn't it likely that at some point it will stop working as Android versions continue to change? Is anyone aware of other similar apps being developed, or is development on DSLR Controller possibly going to pick back up in the future.

Thanks,

JTT
