nexus i9250 with Nikon D700 all work fine only bulb capture don't work, when I press the capture button nothing happens, can you fix it in the next release?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Nikon bulb shooting is only available on D600, D800, D4. The other model don't have bulb shooting while in PTP mode.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] billyJ:
works fine on D90, thanks for your hard work
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] JanJansen024:
Thanks for your hard work, it works fine with my nikon d5100 and nexus 7. However, I do miss the option to have the autofocus to focus automatically when in live view mode. Or that I can just focus a on a point by pressing on the screen. Apart from those and a little other things (like a bulb feature) it is a very nice app. I really appreciate your work.

EDIT: just found out that the camera was in the wrong stand, needed to put it to P for the autofocus to work. also it does work to press on the screen to focus somewhere. ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] veener79:
Soon as I get my cable going to give this a try with my Sony A55.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cioma63:
First of all thanks for the program that seems to work fine on my Samsung S3 except for the focus stacking.

My camera is a Nikon D90 and the lens is AF-S Nikkor 105micro.

Is there anyone that uses this function and has no problems?

It seems that the program is not able to properly drive the focusing optics and all shots are made to the same focus.

I tried to change the camera focus to AF-A and AF-S or AF-C but without success :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Camera focus should be at AF-S. You can try the focus movement while in live view with the focus buttons on the bottom of the screen. You can toggle it with the switch in the bottom right corner.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cioma63:
Ok I solved :)

After several tests I found that to work properly the camera MUST be set with autofocus AF-C and above

MUST be in MANUAL

, mine was in aperture priority mode and for this would not do.

Thanks again for this wonderful program.

Shoot photo with camera not phone/tab

Hi!

Is it possible to take a picture with the Camera and not with the App? I have a D700 and a Galaxy Note. When I push the shutter button it focuses and then ... nothing (I have no Card inserted - with the card inserted it takes a picture on the card).

Another question is if it's possible to take a picture with one copy on the card and one on the Phone/Tab?

THx,

Martin

masterpiece! no need to buy one =)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] veener79:
I am trying this app. I am doing a Sony A55. My internet is out at home so using my phone and searching is not helping. :(

I put my camera USB setting to PNP. I plug it into my OTG cable and my camera states connecting. But I never see on my tablet that it is connecting. My camera then states Check the connected device.

I did try and do a search for the camera in the app but still no luck. Am I missing something? Thanks for the help.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Problem is that Sony does not release any SDK for their DSLR and without it I could only add support for Sony if I would have a physical camera here. I don't have money to invest into Sony cameras, so if there is someone who knows the Sony PTP protocol and willing to share that info I would be happy to add it to DslrDashboard.

Second option would be that Sony releases a SDK (describing the PTP protocol they use) for their cameras but I doubt that would happen.

Btw, Sony and Canon should take sample from Nikon. Hut down for Nikon for providing detailed SDKs for their cameras.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] veener79:
OK thank you. Thought in past searching some people had Sony's that worked. Except for sending you my camera is there any way I can help you since I have a Sony?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
In recent version I changed a lot in code that is responsible for supporting Nikon and Canon.

Will see to make a generic class that will support the basic PTP set.

I hope till end of month I can make that, then we can see if it is working with your Sony.

V0.30.16 changes:

I added OpenCV. Durning DslrDashboard first start it will ask you to install the OpenCV manager. After installing it the manager will install the OpenCV client libraries for the Android device.

I added a complet new live view rendering that is implemented in native code using OpenCV and OpenGL. To enable the new rendering go to settings and under live view options enable the 'Use OpenCV/OpenGL for LV rendering' option. In OpenCV/OpenGL rendering you are able to enable various OpenCV filters with the button located in the upper right corner (grayscale, sepia, edge detection, sobel, canny, inverse, etc). Also the histogram calculation and display is done with help of OpenCV. The new rendering should be much faster then the old one (Please test this rendering so I can improve it, with D5000 and 650D works superb here on Nexus 7 and SG2 to).

added focus area selection for Nikon cameras (still needs some work)

added a fix that enabled live view with Canon 7D models

fixed the exposure display view

Please test the new OpenCV/OpenGL rendering and report back if you have problems with it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ATomCZ:
I tested OpenCV/GL mode and I look that it works (Galaxy Nexus, 4.2.1), but I don't see any significant performance increase. But why some information disappear from screen like "Rolling", etc.

Btw. would be great possibility to turn on horizont line which will be rendered to the preview and will be green if camera is in horizontal or vertical mode, like original gyroscope on the Live View display does on some Nikonsm like D 7000. It will be more readable than small number in the top right corner.

Andy why you booth google code and github for source code hosting?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
The information didn't disappear, the OSD isn't finished yet.

Will see if I can make it.

Github was with old version, with new version I switched to google code as it better suits my needs.

Re: [APP] Nikon DSLR Dashboard via USB V0.30.15 beta

Same here using Nexus 7, running stock 4.1.2. Using D3200 running FW 'C 1.00' 'L 1.006'

When I plug the usb cable the app opens but nothing is displayed to my n7 screen, it's just black. I can take pictures from the n7 but can't see the image taken on my n7 screen (not sure if this is expected behavior).

I also get FCs viewing the camera's photo gallery from the application using stock Android photo gallery. How do I go about enabling logging for this app so that I can capture it and forward it to you for analysis?

0.16 :

LV mode focussing on d7000 is very buggy. focusing only works once each time i open the LV.

LV mode releasing after focus via LV touch resulted in a shift in focus -> OOF pictures.

0.15 :

Crashed frequently and rebooted nexus 7 entirely - fixed now?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ATomCZ:
Ok. I thinked that this is not final.

One of big disadvantages of of google code is that nobody can't help you. On github is very easy to fix some bug or improve functionality and send you changes back and you can decide to use it or not. You have still overview about all forks. Google code doesn't have this, so if someone use and improve code doesn't exist easy way ho to give it back to you :(

Just tried this out with my d600 and tamron 24-70mm.... works very well....i need to go and explore it further to see if there are any bugs....
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
As I wrote many times, Nikon does not provide documentation (SDK) for the D3x00 line. I don't have a D3200 and don't plan to buy it, and without it I can make it work. But I'm afraid that the D3x00 models don't have LV in PTP mode.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
A logcat would help when a crash occurs.

Can you explain in more detail what isn't working with focusing in LV ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Well the old version is on Github almost for a year now and there was only one commit that allowed the use of the phone shutter button for capture.

So don't see why would be using Google Code over Github be such a problem when nobody helps me. :P

DslrDashboard V0.30.17

Added a new version

V0.30.17 changes:

Keep live view aspect ratio (in settings)

Auto focus in live view after focus point change (for now Nikon only)

Landscape mode in both orientation

Next/previous image while in gallery image view (fling left/right)

Image review after image is taken (enable in settings). It will work if you shoot in RAW + JPG or in any of JPG modes

Custom bracketing dialog rework. Now you can select the desired under/over exposure image count. In 'A' mode it will use the EV as in old version, in 'M' mode it will bracket the shutter speed. Displays that EV/shutter speed values that will use for bracketing (for now Nikon only)

Added menu options for connecting to DslrDashboardServer running on OpenWrt

Re: [APP] Nikon DSLR Dashboard via USB V0.30.15 beta

I'm not sure if I do it correctly; First I push on BKT button and configure it, and then I go back and press the shutter button. The camera only takes one photo...

I remember in a previous version (tomorrow I can search what version exactly) it works correctly except I can't change the default EV value (1/3).

Thanks for your efforts and this great program

feature request(s)

I found this app a few days ago, and it works surprising perfect and stable for my D800 (using a SGS3 with ARHD-ROM) as I've tried so far - I'm absolutely fascinated! Where is the "Donate"-button? :cool:

for me the app is most useful to do macro-images with using focus-stacking-function, and landscapes with using bracketing-function. What would be very helpful as new features:

- allow to save the focus-stacking-preferences as "profile-settings", to be able to store different of them (with meaningful names) to have quick access to it

- same thing as above with bracketing-settings

- app language support for other languages (for me: german). I don't know how labels etc. are now stored in the code, but if you seperate all of the label descriptions in a "language-translation-file" to have the chance to store label descriptions also in different languages, then I'm sure the community will help out to do that work! I can do that work for adding the german translation!

many, many thanks for your work! cheers Gerald
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Thanks for your feedback.

For 1. and 2. will try to make it in one of the future version.

For 3. right now not, most of the strings are in resource files but not all, so first I would need to find all those and put in resource files. Will do it but probably sometime later.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gekap:
many thanks for your quick reply. I can understand that 3. is maybe a lot of work, and it's of course only "something cosmetic" and therefore of course not important - but 1. and 2. would be really cool :good:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] GonzoG:
App works great.

There is just one problem I have found. There is no way to change mode of built-in flash in D7000. I cannot set it to commander (CMD) or repeating flash mode in application. I was possible in old version (0.26.6).
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
My D7000 still didn't arrive, but as soon I get it I will look into it.

I added the flash commander dialog but as my D5000 don't have that functionality I can't test it.

You can access the flash commander dialog from top row, it's icon should be near the LV icon.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] GonzoG:
The flash icon on top row works almost exactly as it should - changing settings CMD setting works perfectly, in RPT settings I cannot change frequency - nothing happens after clicking this field and it's always at 10Hz, though it is newer sent to camera. Frequency set through camera menu doesn't change to 10Hz.

But I didn't find button to switch between TTL / M / RPT / CMD modes.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
I checked the code and it should work.

The camera default value is 10Hz.

The value can't be changed if the Exposure Program Mode is set to Scene or

the Exposure Program Mode is set to U1 or U2 and the UserMode1 or UserMode2 is set to Scene.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Found the error. Probably today will publish a new version that will contain the fix.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
New version is up, here is the changelog

V0.30.18 changes:

Added D5200 support

Fixed custom bracketing image capture order - now the capture order is: under exposed - normal - over exposed

Fixed crash if external viewer is used

Fixed image review if camera shutter or remote release is used

Fixed the RPT interval property in Flash commander dialog

Added comment, artist and copyright properties (right panel last button). Not all models support the artist and copyright properties. All 3 can take up to 36 characters

Added focal length display in the bottom bar for cpu-lens.

Added a small DoF calculator. Press the focal length display in the bottom bar.

Added profiles for camera properties, custom bracketing, focus stacking, flash commander (CLS). All use the same dialog. 'New' will create a new profile. 'Save' will save the properties into the current selected profile. 'Load' will load the properties for the current selected profile. 'Delete' will delete the current selected profile.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Btw, forget to write the camera profile button is on the left side, a 'folder' icon. Hope I can make a better icon for it in future.

All the camera properties that are accessible from DslrDashboard will be saved in the profile. If the exposure mode is different then the current selected then it will enable host mode and then change the camera mode.

bulb mode

Hi, fantastic app, it work vey well in my S2 with D7000

But there is only one problem, I have try some similar app but no one work perfectly.

When I set my DSLR(manual mode) shutter speed in bulb mode I can't use it...

Is possible to configure your app work like ML-L3(IR remote control) first press strat shotting second press end shotting?

Whit this fuction is possible use 30minutes shutter speed.

I think it is a very special function!

Thank you guys for your work!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Unfortunately D7000 don't have the bulb shooting while connected with USB and in PTP mode.

Only the models after it have that function. (D600, D800, D4, D5200).

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] metaled222:
Wow. 3 apps in the play store that will work with my nikon d40. Most are in beta (real buggy, no updates in a year) and cost about $10 each! Here I do a search and find the best of all. Still in beta, but works better and has more option than any else is offering.! Thank you.

One item that might be worth looking into in the future, not a make or break deal but might help make it more useful for those of us who's cameras do not have a live mode. Since I cannot see the shot being setup in the live preview, why not show the last picture taken so the user can review and make changes for the next shot? Without live view, my nexus10 has about 80 of it screen black / empty and framed by the controls.

I think it would be useful. You may even have a setting for it somewhere that I haven't found yet.

Anyhow, thanks again!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Thanks for your kind words.

You can enable image review in settings, that will display the image (JPG) after capture if you are shooting in JPG or RAW+JPG mode.

Maybe in upcoming versions I will add an image review in the center view where LV goes.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Added a new version

V0.30.19 changes:

UI changes, reworked the icons, new colors for button, reworked the dialogs, removed the menu and actionbar as it was more in the way then it helped

image viewer uses OpenCV/OpenGL for rendering the image, JPG are loaded in full resolution so no pixelation when zoomed in (raw files are still processed with half-size because of slow processing in full resolution)

added live view exposure preview, live view white balance, live view selector for Nikon models that support it (they can be find in LV properties layout on right)

added zoom button in live view display (upper left corner - only in OpenCV/OpenGL live view mode) that will display a zoom dialog)

added a BLV button below the zoom button in live view. Pressing the BLV button will save the aperture/shutter speed/iso values. After pressing it those values can be changed at will. Before capture the application will restore the saved values and make the capture with those. If 'return to live view' is enabled the application will restore the BLV values. This is useful for Nikon models that reflect the aperture/shutter speed/iso changes in live view (like D800).

reworked the custom bracketing, now it should choose the right shutter speeds if used in M mode.

increased the manual focus step slider in live view (0 - 1000 now)

other fixes

I still didn't get back the Canon 650D so the custom bracketing is not working for Canon as I can't test it.

I've just noticed you added profiles!! You are amazing!! :) I really love you!! :victory:

I love new design! Even layout is very good! You have done really amazing work! Where can I donate? :)

I have one question - Could you make an option to have camera storage as a default option when I press the gallery button to look on images? It shows phone storage by default now.

And one superminor - i would welcome buttons "next" "previous" in image view - I've noticed I can swipe to move to another image but I would prefer buttons.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Hi

I will see to add an option in preferences to check if camera is available then go to camera gallery.

Yes will add next/prev buttons as I also don't like the swipe left/right as it interferes with the image movement.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] aruangra:
Right now, there are several Android TV stick with dual core chips available at $50 or less. The Android stick would be a great hub to connect to a DSLR. The hub runs DSLRdashboard in the network mode. DSLRdashboard on the hub should not need any setting because there is no screen. We just simply power on the Android stick and DSLRdashboard is autostarted.

Then we control DSLRdashboard on the hub from a mobile device with another DSLRdashboard. Overall, it is a cheaper solution than Arduino. You already have all modules ready for this. Minor tweaks would make this application revolutionary. What is your opinion?

I can help you test since I have an MK808 android stick and Nikon D90.

Anat
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Yes it probably could be done.

First problem is authorizing the USB device. After defaulting the DSLR USB insert to DslrDashboard does the MK808 after insert ask you again the authorization?

Another problem would be that you don't have Wifi AP mode, so you should have a 3. device for connecting the MK808 and the tablet with wireless.

For me a more viable option would be to use a cheap OpenWrt router like the TL-WR703N (~20eur) with a battery or TL-MR3040 (~30-40eur) that already has a built in 2000mAh battery.

Will think about it and make some tests.

Good Day

first i want to thank you for the the wonderful application, it works almost fine with my D7000 and Galaxy Note II, i manged to get nice Bracketed shots, but it shoots 10 shots when i adjust it to shoot 5 shots only

even when i shoot single shot in any mode, it takes 2 shots,

please advise what should i do
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Hi

2 images would made only if

- RAW+JPG is enabled (you would have one NEF and one JPG)

- continuous shooting is enabled and the count of continuous shooting is set to 2

- for SD card slot 2 the backup mode is selected
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] riad610:
i have checked all that you wrote, but the camera is saving in one format only (JPG) and i'm shooting in standard mode not in continuous, and also the SD card slot 2 is empty and in (over flow) mode.

please note that when i shoot directly from camera it takes only one shot. only when i shoot from the application it takes 2 shots every time. both are in (JPG) format, i'm attaching a screenshot.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Does this happens when you start the capture from live view or also when the camera is not in live view?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] riad610:
it happens also when i'm not in live view, but i have just discovered something, that if i change the capture format to RAW (from the application), it takes only one shot, but if i change it back to JPG: it start to take 2 shots again.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
ok, what would help me to test the following settings

Capture destination: Android (long press the capture button to change - red means the destination is Android)

AF before capture: enabled (long press the AF button to change - red means AF is performed before capture)

Test in both LV and not LV.

Then combine those 2 settings. Android + no AF, SDRAM + AF, SDRAM + no AF.

Please report if did always do 2 jpegs, I tested it with the D5000 and I always have 1 jpg, but the D7000 has another command for capture.
