You are using an USB OTG cable?

Is the camera turned on and has enough battery - if low on battery it will not allow the PTP connection?

Can you provide a dmseg to see if the camera is recognised by the kernel?

Did you ever had the popup window after you connected your camera? Maybe you did and defaulted it to some application and now it is using it.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
With Lumberjack you can view and send your dmseg.

>I never received a popup. how to check if defaulted to any app ?

I only found that in 'manage apps' when you open the 'app info' there is a 'Launch by default' field that will tell you if that application is defaulted to something.

But if you never get that popup that means you couldn't default the action when your camera is inserted.

Yeah I got it. I replaced the USB-cable (not the host cable) and now it's working. So I'll try to play with the app and give you feedback.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] abws4711:
Liveview can take pic to cam.

After playing a while with this app I just want to say it's amasing. Great job !!!!

That's exactly what I was looking for month now.

During taking a couple of test fotos I a questions:

Q: Why can I take a photo to the cam when I am in liveview (LV). Taking a foto to the phone is possible with liveview. When I switch of the liveview I can take a foto to the cam.

Bernd
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
There are two button for shooting. One should take the image to camera sdcard and the other with the 'sdram' to the phone.

Just checked and you are right, the upper button isn't working in LV, will correct that.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Checked the documentation and unfortunately this is normal. The initiatecapture command can't be operated during the live view, so the image can be only taken with the sdram option and transfered to phone.

On D7000 there is another command that should allow taking pictures to sdcard while the live view is turned on. Will check the other sdk's and make the changes.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] abws4711:
sounds good if you can chance it to make foto in liveview to sd-card of cam.

Remark:

1) It it really nessesary to have two buttons for taking a foto in the menu ? In the normal workflow thr use define only once per fotosession which kind of fotos (SD-ram /SD-card) he want to take and therfore I think it makes more sence to define soemwhere in the setting which modus the fotographer want to use and have only one button for take a foto.

2) The button for the settings are sometime a little bit confusing because the have the same style like the "normal" buttons. I think to have a different style and a frame around all the settings button help the user. I've attached an example.

Hello,

I have a tablet PC Cube U9GT2. It runs on Android v 4.0.3

And I have problems with my D90. I'm getting 'No DSLR camera found on USB'

I can see device in USB host controller.

Also I analyzed logs in Lumberjack app.

In dmesg tav I can't see anything except

cpureq: pre change

cpureq: post change

cpureq: got 1008000

and so on.

But in the logcat tab I can see next info:

usbsystem found in netlink event

usb, 1

== current device: 04B0/0421 ===

Also I can't see any popups when I'm connecting and turning on the device.

I checked the cables and the charge level of my camera. Everything looks good.

I tried to connect my cam to PC with the same cables and it was ok.

Could you please give me some advice to manage with this problem?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
1) For me it makes more sense to have 2 dedicated button for shooting. There is a 'recording media' selector button in the bottom that defines where your photo goes. So if there would be only one button you would always need to change the recording media prior shooting. This way you don't need to think about it if you switched, just press the button and you know where your picture will land. (I know the capture to sdcard dosn't work for now in LV, but if there would be only one button then your pictures would always land at your phone because the requirement for LV is sdram for recording media) If you add another button for image destination selection (there is already one) then you end up again with 2 buttons but on different places.

2) Can't see/open your attachment :(

Forget to ask, does the video recording in LV work that was added in last build (D7000)?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] abws4711:
Sg2 / d7000

HI,

will check teh video record in the evening.

I've some more thinks that might be helpful:

1) LV mode per default. The Liveview modus should by activated per default when the user enters the main camera modus (all buttons on the left side)

2) Virtual horizon. All newer modell of nikon (D5100, D7000, D4, D800,...) have a virtual horizon feature based on a sensor in the camera. It's very useful to get this horizon by having a toggel button for the positioning of the cam in teh field. Do you thinks is possible to get this horizon ?

3) improvement of buttons in main camera modus (see attachment)

Bernd
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
1. Could be done, adding a settings where the user can change the default start mode (LV or normal)

2. I already read the documentation for angle level, pitching and yawing but couldn't test it with my d5k. But if you willing to help then will add it.

3. Not sure if I understand your picture, sorry. :(

You are suggesting to add left/right arrows to the buttons that open the settings buttons while in LV? If yes then that is doable.

V0.25.7 beta changes:

added movie recording in LV (D7000, D5100)

added movie recording notification on LV OSD with remaining time (according documentation it's max 20 min)

add rolling, pitching and yawing display on LV OSD (D7000, D5100)

added option to start LV on application start

added a seek bar (slider) for moving the focus in LV. Before you can use it u must measure the lens focus range with the MF FOCUS button

added left and right buttons for driving the focus to it's MIN and MAX.

added focus position/max display to LV OSD

Some explanation about the new focusing mode.

To use new focus movement you first need to measure the lens focus range with the MF FOCUS button. It will first drive the lens focus to one end and then with smaller steps measure the range in the opposite direction and finally do another run with smallest step at focus end.

I was doing many runs with my 18-55 and 55-200 lens. The lens focus range values that I got are slightly different on runs. The difference is in 0-100 range.

Probably this depends on lens build quality to.

I also included MIN and MAX buttons on the slider left and right side so that you can quickly move the focus from one end to another. These buttons are also used to reset the focus current value, so if you used AF then the current focus value will be inaccurate because there is no way to get the current focus value from the camera.

Once you measured the focus range it will be saved with your lens ID, so next time you start the application it will recognize your attached lens ID and load the measured value.

You can measure more times the focus range. (would be nice to get some feedback)

The new focusing method isn't coupled with the old method, so if you use the old method your current focus value would be inaccurate (just like with AF) so use the MIN/MAX buttons to reset the current focus value.

If you like the new method and if it proofs to be usable probably I will remove the old one, or put it somewhere else and make this one as main focus movement control.

This new focus method will also allow to add focus markers as some of the users suggested.

I also added the rolling, pitching and yawing display to OSD. Please test it, see if it reports good values. (I can't test that)

So happy testing. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Sorry I missed your post.

You should see in dmesg when you connect your camera to your phone.

Did you try to hit the power button in dslr dashboard, should try to initiate the search for usb ptp devices.

But if you don't get the popup that means your system dosn't recognise the connected usb device or you defaulted it to some application.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] abws4711:
First Feedback from testing

-Movie record: :rolleyes:

not tested

- rolling, pitching and yawing: :)

I only got a value for rolling but this looks ok.

First I started the cam without the app and used the vritual horizon of the cam to bring the cam parallel to horizon with the virtual horizon indicator of the cam. (horizon indicator was moved to green. Then I connected the cam with the app and checked the value.

The value was jumping bettween 359.7X - 359.8X. So we might add a difference of of around +/- 0,3 or 0,4 as OK for 360,00 degrees.

moving 90 degrees to left side was around 90,xx

moving 90 degrees to ride side value was around 270,xx

moving 180 degrees to ride side value was beetween 0 and 180.

- Option LV on start :)

tested and working fine

-slider for focus:

not working even after MF-button. can't move the slider :(

please put in mind that when the user is doing makro fotos with manuell focus (that normal for makro fotos) the sensitifiy of this slider must be very very high sensitive because only small step are used. So maybe we might add a button to selected the sensitivifty of the silder or toggle the sensitifity. Can not check how it's working on an tablet so may be sensitivity it fine by using a larger screen from an tablet.

- MF button :)

test and working fine

- left and right buttons for focus Min/Max :)

tested and working fine

- foto to Sdcard from cam with LV

still open

- remarks

1) May me it makes sence to change the color of the focus box in liveview if the actualy object have or does not have not the focus. Behaviour and colors should be the same like on the cam without the app. (red = no focus for object / green = object has focus)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
What values you get on the OSD for focus (current/max)?

I put in the command for capture that should take the picture to sdcard while in LV, so if not working then probably it has the same behavior like the normal initiatecapture command.

Did you try to move the slider after you pressed the min or max button on side of the slider?

The focus judgement only has a value when using the AF.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Uploaded 25.8, fixed an UI error that was causing FC on tablet resolutions.

There is also a small addition to focus range measure function, it will measure the min focus step. On both my lens it is 6.

First impressions

Hi,

I just tried your application with a Nikon D300. While almost everything seems to be working, it's hard to see the difference when the app is waiting for input or when it's just not responding.

A few thoughts:

- Would it be possible to show a status symbol (waiting for .....) or an animated icon to show what the application is supposed to do?

- It would be great if there's a way to create functions on top of the basic camera functions that the app supports, such as: sound triggered release button, image movement triggered release button (fireworks?), timing above the 30" seconds (night photography), hdr support, ..... (maybe as some kind of plugin system so that others can help to create functionality).

Anyway, thanks for the app.

Michael Homeijer
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Status - will think about it how could be implemented

Sound triggered shooting - already implemented

Bulb mode is not available on Nikon dslr when in PTP mode

HDR - not sure what you mean here, bracketing already implemented. As of HDR processing, I think it is not meant for phones/tablets but rather more for PC's with more CPU power and memory. The Android applications are limited in resources they can use and processing 3,5 or more 12m or more pixel images would be to much.

image movement - maybe later when all the basic functionality works

Foto to Cam not possible

Hi,

I've an idea to make the button for taking a foto on the cam a little bit more useful in LV mode because actually it's look like it's technically not possible.

Just in case LV is on and the use press the button "Foto on cam" you can extend the functionaliy of teh button in the following way:

1) deactive LV (in case it's on)

2) take foto to cam

3) reactive LV (in case it was on before)

I think this is ok for most of us how use/need the LV .
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Yeah, that is possible.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
DslrDashboard V0.25.9_beta

Added focus bracketing

Linked the focus left/right buttons with the focus slider

image capture to sdcard works now from live view (will end live view, capture the image and return to live view)

changed some of the icons

Focus bracketing explanation:

You focus your camera, either with AF or manually. In focus bracketing options dialog you set the options:

- number of images to take

- focus step - is the amount the lens will be moved after each image. The minimal value on both of my lenses is 6 but you can set lower values if your lens support it. It is the same value that you can set while in live view, so you can experiment with it there.

- focus movement direction - closest -> infinity, infinity - > closest

- recording media

After you press the OK button the app will take the series like this:

- end live view

- set focus mode to manual

- take image

- set focus to AF-S (the manual focus movement works only if the focus mode is not MF and the camera is in live view)

- enter live view

- move focus by step value

- repeat

I set an initial 2000 value for the slider so it should work without measuring the lens focus range. The focus mode should be not MF and before using it you should press the "<<" or ">>' buttons to move the focus to one or other range and reset the current focus value.

SG2 with D7000 / app crashed

Hi ,

I found the problem with the crashed app on SG2 with CM9 and D7000.

The problem was a misplaced sd-card in the cam. Because of this sd-card the cam was in error mode and was able to connect to the app but not able to receive and fullfill cmds. Normaly this error is displayed in the display of the cam but because of conecting to the phone the cam dispalys are out of function and there is no chance to see this error.

I think it might be a good idea to check if it's possible to catch and display these cam-error in the app.

You can reproduce this problem by removing all sd-card from the cam and connect the cam to the app.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
D90 is supported.

D80 should also work, not sure if it has live view. (there is no SDK for D80 so probably only the basic functions will work if it supports PTP mode)

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Unfortunately not because those versions probably don't include the required USB support (Kernel and Android).

The USB support was introduced in Android 3.x for tablets and it did appear in some of the 2.3.x versions. (Samsung Galaxy S2, think it was in the leaked 2.3.4 ROM and after that it was removed).

Android 4.x should have it on phones and tablets to.

DslrDashboard V0.25.10_beta

Reworked a bit the focus stacking and now you can use it with AE bracketing

Added OSD button for cycling through the LV OSD display

Now the app can take focus stacking images with AE bracketing enabled. It will move the focus after each bracketing set. So if you enable bracketing with 3 images and do focus stacking with 10 images you will get 30 images at end. Not sure if anyone needs it and what would be the processing workflow (first do the focus stacking on different EV and then do the HDR processing). Hope someone can try out.

Added an OSD button that will cycle the LV OSD display. (Full, only focus rectangle, grid, text).
