You need a USB OTG cable or adapter.

I use this: http://dx.com/p/micro-usb-on-the-go-host-otg-adapter-pair-50774
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nizarghosn:
ok thank's i did buy one of these connector and it worked properly .. i need to know how to take a photograph in bulb mode, nb. i bought the manual from amazon .. any help ..??
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Bulb shooting is only availabel on D600, D800 and D4.

I was working on it this week with some other fixes.

I attached a version that can do bulb shooting on devices that support it, hope you can test it.

To shoot in bulb mode:

Set your exposure mode to M (with the dial or with using host mode)

Set your shutter speed to BULB.

Hit the capture button.

It should turn yellow indicating that it is in bulb mode.

Hit again the capture button to end BULB mode.

It would be nice if you could give me some feedback if it worked properly as I can't this with D5000.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nizarghosn:
great work my friend , but still freeze a little, it works for the first shutter but to close it with the second click it did not, i enforce the camera to close the shutter by turn it off, and yes i could obtain the long exposured image .. !!!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Ok, will check do code and try to figure out.

Did the capture button turn yellow?

Could you press the button the second time?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Worldwidehighend:
I have a nikon d3200, all works fine. Except for the bracketing mode. I can not start the exposure bracketng mode. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Mamali92:
Wow Gr8 !! now im complete with my D5100
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
To change the custom bracketing options press the BKT button in the action bar.

To enable/disable custom bracketing long press the BKT button in the action bar.

Hope this helps
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nizarghosn:
yes the capture button is yellow after you press it the first time, but you couldn't press it the second time, keep your good work , thanks again
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Worldwidehighend:
Thank you that is a huge step forward but I can not select the EV steps.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
I added some more loging for bulb shooting, please can you test it and send me a logcat. (You can use Lumberjack from the play store).
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nizarghosn:
here it is .. https://www.dropbox.com/s/kzd4tcy1wldmdkv/logcat.txt
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
In the logcat you posted are no dslrdashboard logs. :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
For D3200 there are no documentation from Nikon.

Can you change EV on the camera? Do you have an EV step setting on D3200 (1/2, 1/3) ?

If there is no EV step what is the default step between EV values?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Worldwidehighend:
Yes I can change the EV on camera. By default, there are 1/3 steps.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nizarghosn:
... give me a hint about using the lumberjack, to be able to post a right logcat ...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Just launch Lumberjack, then with home key go to your applications and start dslrdashboard (or with pluging in your camera)

After you done with the bulb shooting enter again Lumberjack and export the Logcat (only the first one where it says Logcat).
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
I made some changes to the custom bracketing, hope this will work with 3200.

Try the attached version.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nizarghosn:
ok let's try ... https://www.dropbox.com/s/kzd4tcy1wldmdkv/logcat.txt .. feed back please ...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Nope, again no dslrdashboard logs. Check if Debuging is enabled in settings->developer options
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nizarghosn:
the debugging is enabled ... again ..https://www.dropbox.com/s/kzd4tcy1wldmdkv/logcat.txt ...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Not sure why but still no dslrdashboard logs. Both of my devices are rooted so if your is not maybe that's the problem.

There is another application on Play that you can try. Catlog ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nolanlawson.logcat ).
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nizarghosn:
ok here it is ... https://www.dropbox.com/s/gdi6b7h43nbjlzp/myfile.txt
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
still nothing :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nizarghosn:
my note 2 is unrooted maybe this is the problem .. anyway i am still getting the same problem, first shutter is ok freeze for the second ... again i have the d600 still ready to help you with your wonderful dslr dashboard ..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
what you mean by the 'freeze for the second'?

After the camera enter the bulb capture, only the capture button should be enabled and it should be yellow (checked) to indicate that the camera is in bulb capture mode.

If the capture button turns yellow after you start the bulb capture that means the button should be enabled and pressing it again should execute the bulb capture termination.

I changed a bit the code that should terminate the bulb capture, so if you can try it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nizarghosn:
Ok i downloaded and install it .. fine now i pressed the shutter button that it was blue,it becomes yellow, and the shutter on the camera open, now when i pressed it again to close the shutter nothing happened and still in yellow,nb when i long press the shutter button it turns red in both situation ...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Long pressing the capture button changes the image recording destination.

Red means the image will be transfered to Android device.

Gray mean the image will be saved to camera sdcard.

I found a small error in the code related to terminating bulb capture.

So if you still have time please try this fixed one, maybe it will work.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nizarghosn:
... excellent, worked great .. in M mode everything is perfect concerning the bulb speed .. but when i switch to S mode the shutter button did not react it is not freezed but no reaction ..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
According the documentation the bulb capture is only possible in M mode.

Will see to add some code to prevent entering bulb capture in other modes.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] [SMAN]:
Ohh. I stand corrected. I did not know that live view had a timer.

Question though, can this tech be used to gps tag the photos that are taken?

Also what about the ability to browse the photos that are on the memory card and select what ones i want to import into the phone?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
It should be possible, but I didn't explore yet the exif tags.

I have that in plan to implement on the 4 view probably with tabs (sdram, phone, camera).

sdram - would be where the incoming pictures are displayed from the camera sdram and where you can choose what to keep and what to delete (the one that you see now on the 4 view)

phone - the pictures that are taken with camera and saved in the DCIM/dslr folder on phone

camera - the pictures that are on camera sd/cf card.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] [SMAN]:
That sounds great. Can't wait to see what comes in newer versions!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ekoandrew:
wonder when will there be a new version out? this thread is becoming a RIP thread ... SNIFF
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
not yet, but I also have a private life.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pbrown77:
Am I blind or is there no way to have the image review come up after a photo is taken on a d7000? Any idea of how hard this would be to implement with pinch to zoom. At the moment I find I have to disconnect the service to press the play button on the phone to review the last photo.

Also, for when image review works for me, where is the donate button or even better (for easy update notification) the app being on the market?

what a fudge up review. all i see are complaints than compliments. everything working for me as posted in OP first post with all the updates. if you say it you can do better and giving directions what to do, why not making it yourself.

seesh kido get a life, stop been breast fed.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pbrown77:
I think you took my post a little out of the context it was meant to be read as. And your thoughts of who I am.... well... not quite.

I apologise to the programmer "thehabos" if my post came across that way... if he read it like that as well.

I appreciate all the work he has done. I had previously posted saying it was a great effort that he has made and at the same time asked him for ways to donate in future.... My last post was never made out to be a review and was more of a question. I again asked if he had plans of having a way to donate.

If I didn't appreciate his work I wouldn't have asked twice for a way to donate would I?

I was asking if he had a plan to have an image review after a photo is taken as it is the only feature that is stopping me using this at work.. And the blind part was in reference to if it was already in the features list and I had overlooked it, but obviously don't have it working on the d7000 for some reason.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ekoandrew:
you should update your D7000 to latest firmware, if you have not. Does fix several bugs.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
The image review should work but for now only if 'sdram' is selected as recording media or using the take picture button with the 'sdram' on it. In both cases the picture/pictures are transferred to your phone on 4 view (on the right) you can review the picture (clicking on the picture) and choose the ones that you want to keep/discard.

I have a market account but I think the application isn't yet ready for the market.

As of donate button, my great country isn't supported by paypal so don't have one (and lately it wont accept my cc at all for payments), have a moneybookers account but don't know if anyone uses it for donation purposes, also I don't like to take money for half made solutions.

As of development, in past 5 months I was without job and any payment because the company where I worked went broke. On Monday I finally found a new job so probably will have less time for working on it but I will do my best to keep it alive and to add new features.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pbrown77:
Ahh. I use sdcard normally so that is why I don't see any images in the 4th screen or see an image review.

Personally I don't think this app is too far from being able to be on the market... although I am in no way experienced in developing apps and issuing them to the market place.

You have obviously invested a fair bit of time into this project for no reward apart from self satisfaction. I can't see why anyone would object to paying a low premium for something that is fundamentally working and only really needs a few more functions and a UI improvement.

A quick search on the market shows two, but a little more refined, Canon apps costing closer to $10 so surely your app in its early stage would be worth at least a few dollars to people.

But I suppose people may start expecting more once they are asked to pay....

Just my two cents worth. I am in no way experienced in sales nor publishing software....

Love the app

I tested it with my D90 but live view did not seem to work i also have an older D40 i will try it with when i get home. App also works very well on the acer iconia a500.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Please can you check what is the usb vendor and product id from your D90 when it's attached to your pc/laptop, should be 0x04b0 and 0x0421 and I will check the LV code for D90, also do you have any prohibition message when you hit the LV button?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] darklrd:
the vendor id matches what you have. the LV button simply seems to be disabled with it plugged in to the tablet running the app.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
I checked the LV code for D90 and it should work. Do you get any prohibition code when you hit the LV button? After clicking the LV button does your camera switch to LV mode?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
V0.14 beta changes:

on 4 view added support for sdcard preview. In the lower left corner there is a button for switching between sdram and sdcard mode (long click) (the phone mode is not implemented yet). You can load the image infos and thumbs from the objects already on the sdcard with the 'Load' button (deppending on the speed of your sdcard and number of objects it can take some time). After a picture is taken to sdcard it is also added to the sdcard view. Clicking on the image will load a preview of it.

There are still work to do on the image preview view. The preview image in the sdcard mode is the large thumb that you can get from the camera (570 x 375). I will probably add a button so that the full image from the camera can be downloaded to phone but probably if the user choose the sdcard as recording media then he don't need the final image on the phone.

The image info and thumb data from the sdcard is stored in the service, so if you exit the activity but keep the service running, when you start the activity again you will have the info from the sdcard. If the service is stoped the info is also cleared. I will also add a 'Clear' button so that you can clear the img data/thumb cache.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pbrown77:
Wow. This just gets better and better.

Not a huge surprise from my past comments but I welcome the image preview when saved to sd card and look forward to the full image review so I can check the focus at 100 percent zoom.

I feel that for the full image review you could look at transferring to the phone as the same file name all the time, eg imagereview.jpg, so all the images aren't repeated on both the camera and the phone. But there are other users out there I'm sure that might be able to give their thoughts and suggestions.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] darklrd:
I retried it and it seems to work now i wiped the old sdcard in the camera but it looks like a different app was trying to use the usb at the same time i removed it and all is good. also i did test it with my older D40 and most of the features that would work on that cam do sdram download seem to get almost done then crashes with the D40.

Great work. big thanks

after the last update , the D7K won't work anymore , can't switch to host mode , can't take picture, LV not working ...

Hi Habos,

Appreciate your effort in building this tremendous app,I'm using this app on my Galaxy S2 with Nikon D7000.

I'm facing the below issues:

1. Bracketing: It takes multiple shots but does not bracket the photos as all are captured at the same ev.

2. I tried to change the settings in my D7000, when I switch on bracketting in Camera, it takes only 3 pics (D7000 has a restriction of taking 3 bracketing pics)

3. Bulb is not working, as it gives an error, it says bulb capture started and then dissapears.

4. I also tried this app on my Galaxy S- I9000, doesnt connect, any idea if this app can be extended to Galaxy S- I9000?

5. If you want me to report the above issues through log cat, please help as i've not used any log cats earlier...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
1. In what shooting mode was your camera?

2. Yes D7000 has internal bracketing, you can enable it on the right side with the BKT button

3. D7000 dosn't support bulb shooting when connected via USB. Only D600, D800 and D4 have the bulb shooting mode.

4. What Android version you have on it? Does the Android version has USB host support? Does S-I9000 has USB host support?

DslrDashboard V0.30.15

Uploaded a new version - this one is birthday release :)

V0.30.15 changelog (mostly Canon 650D changes)

reworked the capture

added bulb capture (select BULB for shutter speed, press the capture button to start BULB capture, press again the capture button to end BULB capture)

reworked the auto focus (AF now works like if you press halfway the shutter release button, while you holding the AF button the camera is auto focusing, after you release it will stop the auto focus)

added EV value display while the AF is enabled

added proper focus rect display while in live view

added movie recording (thanks to Dave Coffin who showed me how to decode the LV image while in movie recording - while the camera is recording a movie the LV is much slower)

added the focus mode property for the live view and movie recording

custom bracketing (in Av mode)

focus stacking (the Canon 650D only supports 3 steps of focus movement 1 - small, 2 - medium, 3 - large so use these values for the focus step value in the dialog)

time-lapse also works now with Canon 650D

other small fixes improvements

Hi thehabos,

I've a Nikon D3100 without bracketing. Can I use the bracketing with this model? Are you planning to implement software bracketing?

Hi thehabos!

Is it possible to implement screen rotation (180º)? I use your app with a Galaxy Note 10.1 where the usb connector is located at bottom. By rotating the Tab I could use it togehter with a stand and usb connection at the top.

Thanks for your great app!

With this can photos be displayed on the phone in the same way the picture is shown on the camera lcd when taken?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ColdFire82:
I've read that live view doesn't work with D3100. Does it include just showing the taken photo in the tablet in the same way it's shown on the camera back screen? Don't really need live view but checking the pic taken in a bigger and better screen would be great for me.

Regards
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Nikon does not provide SDK for 3x00 models that's why no LV. Maybe it can support LV but without a camera for testing I can't tell.

If the camera supports the basic PTP commands then capture and image download/view should work.

Maybe someone with a 3x00 model can answer you.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Yes, you can view the photos taken with your camera. You can view the JPG and RAW images to. RAW images take some time to process.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
I will check but can't promise anything.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
For the D3x00 models I can't tell much as there is no documentation for them.

If the camera supports basic PTP commands then I presume the custom bracketing should work.
