Hi, I tried the bulb function on a D3200, but the camaera didn't take the shot. I selected different exposure times on the bulb dialog, but the after pressing ok, nothing happens.

And also I notice weird bug in the photo gallery of the app, if I synchronize to see the thumbnails of the pictures in the camera, the delete some pictures and take new ones, the thumbnails did not update, and I see the thumbnails of the old ones instead :p

But It's a really great app!!!! :) :) :) thanks!!!!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Bulb mode is only available on D800, D600, D4, D7100, D5200 while in PTP mode.

The application saves the thumb image to the Android device for faster access.

If you use the same name as the deleted images the thumb will be not downloaded as it is already present.

Will see to add a function that will clear/refresh the thumb data.

You can delete the .dslrthumbs and .thumb folders in you DCIM/DSLR folder until I add the function, that will clear the thumb data.

.dslrthumbs = thumb data for the images that are on the camera sdcard

.thumb = thumb data for the images that are in the DCIM/DSLR folder.

your device isn't compatible with this version

I am trying to install the latest version of DSLRDashboard from the Play store on a Nexus 7 with Android 4.2.1.

When the install asks for OpenCV it takes me to the Play store which tells me that "your device isn't compatible with this version".

I tried to download OpenCV Manager directly, but there are 7 apks in the zip file and I am unsure which of the 3 arm apks to choose, they are:

OpenCV_2.4.5_binary_pack_armv7a.apk

OpenCV_2.4.5_Manager_2.7_armeabi.apk

OpenCV_2.4.5_Manager_2.7_armv7a-neon.apk

OpenCV_2.4.5_Manager_2.7_armv7a-neon-android8.apk

OpenCV_2.4.5_Manager_2.7_mips.apk

OpenCV_2.4.5_Manager_2.7_x86.apk

Any help would be much appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
You should install the

I tested the latest version of DSLR Dashboard on my D3200 via WU-1a WLAN Adapter. But I cannot get the Liveview to work. With the WMU Utility that works like a champ. Anyone got that to work ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Other D3200 users reported that taking a capture and then entering live view works.

Please try that until I figure out why can't enter live view.

You can also try switching to 'host mode' and then try entering live view.

Also it would be a help if someone with D3200 could try changing the properties and see if after change live view works (do it in 'host mode')
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lemuus:
Hi, I tried that with my D3200, and live view only works if I change exposure time from bulb to something else. Any other change that I've tried didn't affect live view

I have a Nikon D80 which I was able to control using a nook color runing CM9 and appropriate cables. I tried to use an HP touchpad tablet runing CM10 (Jcsullins Cm-10-20130418) but it doesn't work. The dmesg shows that the camera is recongnized (Nikon d80 etc...) but the application doesn't report a camera connected. Using the same cable setting, I am able to read a flash memory stick, so the cable is OK. Is there a requirement specific to camera support that's not met in the CM10 kernel? Did anybody manage to make this work on an HP Touchpad with CM10? I really love DSLR Dashboard and would really like to see it working with my HP.

V0.15 beta changes:

On the bracketing view I added custom bracketing option.

You can choose the EV step, bracketing direction (negative, positive, both) and the bracketing count (3,5,7,9). You can start the shooting with the buttons depending where you want your pictures (probably the sdcard option is faster becouse of the image transfer).

If the EV value is more then the EV supported by the camera then that image will be skiped.

The starting EV is always the one that is set on the main view.

It did see my d40 that is a bit older then the d60 you probably need to change the USB setting in newer cameras in will auto switch between settings to tether the camera and see it as a drive the older ones you need to change the setting in the camera menu.

Also once you get it to work it will only work as a remote trigger. Lv will not work and the preview will lock up.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] EtorS:
I made a couple of tests, but failed miserably .. I tried to find the settings in the menus of the camera that you'd like but I have not found anything useful, I also tried to remove the memory cards and it read the phone with an adapter and everything works, but the camera does not want to recognize their own .. Maybe if you tell me the location of the menu that mean you get it to work!

Thanks for your help!

(Yeah no problem i just don't that the camera with me. i will post as soon as i get home.)

OK on the Nikon D40 under USB in the menus it needs to be set to [MTP/PTP] that enabled the use of this app for me on my D40.

I did some diging it looks like the D60 is one of the first dslr's that they removed the option to switch between mass storage and MTP/PTP. I am thinking that though it is a newer camera the data for the app might not be compatable with the D60. That seems a bit odd if it can talk to the D40. I can't say for sure as I have not looked at the specs for that camera's comuication input or output. So I don't know if there is a difference between that camera and other Nikon cameras.

It looks like this camera is hard to get it to work with nikons camera controller software. It looks like it will stop working for a number of reason ranging from old drivers, BIOS firmwares, to USB hubs and cards no single reason. Did you check to see if there was a firmware update for your camera from Nikon?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
D60 should work, except the liveview as D60 don't have that functionality.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] EtorS:
My Nikon D60 does not have the ability to choose the connection method (MTP / PTP) (I did not understand why) from what I read around should be selected automatically by the computer, but in this case must "select" the phone .

Obviously (with Nikon) there are no updates available for the D60 ..

How can I fix it? ç_ç

D60 is wayyyy outdated, not going to work. so far most Dx0 devices i got it to work is from D80 and up.

Since yesterday i have a Nikon D7000 too. The firmware is uptodate (1.02).

I've installed the apk (V0.15) on my Acer A500. After having connected the camera to my Acer it shows the dialoque where i can choose an application. When i choose D5K the screen is shown with the current values, but no liveview is shown. It seems as if i couldn't get the LiveView working while the camera is connected to my tablet via USB.

Guys here wrote that the D7000 is working with the Samsung Tablet. Do i have to configure my camera ? If yes, what ? Need a little help.

thanks in advance

Thanks and Feature Request

Hi Zoltan,

First, Kudos for all you efforts on making Dslr Dashboard a great app!! :good:

I have started using Dslr Dashboard with my Nikon D7000 and my Samsung Galaxy Note2. It has great application in the area of macrophotography. It greatly reduces the amount of time I have to spend on the ground on my belly when photographing insects and wild flowers.

Many camera tripods allow you to get the camera close to the ground by turning their center post upside down. This has the one disadvantage of positioning the camera upside down as well. This results in an upside down view on my Android. It seems auto-rotate is always on in Dslr Dashboard, even if I turn it off in my phone settings. Would it be possible to add a Dslr Dashboard setting to invert the display view on my Android? This would allow me to see what my photo will look like in the correct orientation even while my camera is inverted.

I would also appreciate any assistance you can give in getting the Focus Stacking function to work. Is this function currently working? Is Dslr Dashboard supposed to take the full series of photos with one touch of the shutter button when the BKT button is on, or do I need to hit the shutter repeatedly for each shot? Also, would it be possible to allow setting the nearest focal point and farthest focal point desired. It looks like presently, only starting from the closest limit or infinity is possible.

Thanks again for your work on this project. I think it has the potential to compete for best in class.

Bulb mode in custom bracketing is not supported. Maybe in one of the upcoming version but again depends on the camera model as not all models support bulb mode while in PTP mode (D800, D600, D4, D7100, D5200 ).
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
I have a D7100 and like it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Do you mean to rotate the live view by 180 ?

Yes focus stacking is working. Best you turn on 'host mode' and disable AF (long press the AF button - red means AF is enabled). In live view you set your initial focus (with the AF button or with the manual focus movement button in the bottom of the live view). Then you bring up the focus stacking dialog and select the desired number of images and the focus step that should be performed between the captures (you should experiment with the focus step while in live view to see what steps you need - depends on the attached lens). Finally you hit the 'start focus stacking' button.

The problem with the manual focus movement is that the application don't know where currently the focus is set. There is only one command for moving the focus up or down by the specified step. Also moving the focus once by 20 and then moving the focus back two times by 10 is not the same.

For custom bracketing you need to press and hold (long press) the BKT button in top row. After you enabled the custom bracketing you only need to press the capture button and the application will do the rest according the settings that you made in the custom bracketing dialog (under/over exposure count, exposure step).
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Don't know about the HP Touchpad but I presume CM10 should have the required bits.

Try asking in the CM10 thread if USB host support is included.

Also you can try connecting the camera over a powered USB hub.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xingr8:
Exactly. Rotate live view by 180 deg.

Thanks for the quick response! I will work with focus stacking some more. This will be a wonderful help!

is it possible to install a DslrDashboard Server on DD-WRT router ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] PengLord:
D3200 Firmware 1.01 with WU-1A adapter

I've tried the various choices listed here for making liveview work but have not had any luck. I get the following error: "Liveview Prohibition" "The Exposure Program Mode is [Scene mode] or [User mode]"

What can I do to help correct these bugs?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
That is the limitation of the camera, it will not allow to enter live view if the exposure mode is 'scene'.

Best you enable 'host mode' and change the exposure mode to M,A,S,P then enter live view and when in live view change back the exposure mode to 'scene' mode.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
I'm not sure, didn't used DD-WRT. If DD-WRT supports the .ipk packages that OpenWrt uses then yes.

You can download the .ipk from https://code.google.com/p/dslrdashb...dserver_0.1-1_ar71xx.ipk&can=2&q=#makechanges

This is for ar71xx chipset.

If this does not work with DD-WRT then probably you will need to compile it

Using the TP-Link MR3040 ( http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-MR3040 ) you get a cheap wireless DSLR control.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ajamils:
Is there any advantage of doing it this way versus just getting the WiFi dongle ? That way you won't have to keep your camera connected to router via USB.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
No advantage over WU-1a/1b but not all cameras support that.

Advantages would be:

- you get a cheap router (it's cheaper then the WU-1a/!b)

- probably the range is better then with WU-1a/1b (with an external antenna hack even better)

- you could make a wireless network with more routers and connect more dslr

- works with all the dslr that support the USB PTP mode (Nikon, Canon)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] PengLord:
I should have included that the camera is set to Auto and that the Nikon app works without issue with the same settings.

EDIT: Swiching to M, A, S, P works, thank you. Is there anything I can do to help get llive view to work without first making a capture?

hi, i need a lot of help about my android tablet, a couple of weeks ago i installed this app, dslrdashboard, during installation, it requires me to install opencv, which is what i did. then tried it on my Nikon 5100, but it didn't work. after that. i discontinue trying the app then just listen to music. here comes the problem, music player, and all apps that play audio doesn't work anymore, it only plays audio when i turn the lcd off by pushing the power button. not only that, video doesn't work anymore whether the lcd is on or off. video only play when i try to play video, then turning off lcd, then turn it on, (video plays for a second then screen goes black again). i dont know what to do with it, i tried even factory resetting the tablet but still no good. i hope you get what i mean. my device is:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mrlonjohn:
sorry, my bad, i'm new at this forum. the main problem is the audio and video doesn't play.

audio ONLY plays when the screen is off.

video plays ONLY when i turned of the screen and turn it on again, it plays for 2 seconds then turn black again.

i posted this problem here because this is the only app i installed and used before that happened and also i posted this at the Q&A section but no response upto now.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Did you try uninstalling DslrDashboard and OpenCV? After uninstalling does the problem still remain?

As you wrote in previous message you did a factory reset, if the problem is still present after factory reset then I suggest you check your device with the handler.

thanks for the response. yes, i have tried uninstalling both and still the problem exists. i am sure the audio card and video card,if that is what it is called, is still good because it works as i've said, the thing is it ONLY works when the screen is off. do you think installing different os could solve this?

the device is just a reward from a retention plan of my subscription from an internet provider and have no stores nearby or maybe in our country. i'm looking for alternative rather than giving it the service center of my provider, because it might take months before they can fix it since this device is not common.
