iPhone App from onOne

May 15, 2009 by Mike Wong • 547 Comments

I'm excited to tell you that this afternoon, onOne Software submitted our first iPhone app to the Apple iTunes App Store. In case  you're wondering what kind of application we've developed, I'll tell you right now that it is unlike any application we've developed before.

dslr_remote_coming_soon

The new application that we've devloped is called the DSLR Remote and it is a wireless cable release for your Canon EOS DSLR camera.

Most of us here at onOne shoot with Canon DSLR cameras. Several of us here also have iPhones. One day we were sitting at lunch and Dan Harlacher our senior product manager said "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if there was an iPhone app that let you trigger your camera?"

So, from that we convinced Craig, our company president, to let us have one of our engineers build this application and this morning, we sent it off to Apple to be reviewed for the iTunes App Store.

Okay, if you're wondering how it works, here's a quick run down.

  1. You need either an iPhone or an iPod Touch
  2. You need a supported Canon EOS DSLR [  ((Digital Rebel XT, Rebel XTi, Rebel XS, Rebel XSi, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D, 5D, 5D Mark II, 1D Mark II, Mark IIn, Mark III, 1Ds Mark II, Mark III)) ]
  3. A laptop or desktop computer running the free companion DSLR Remote Server software
  4. A USB cable to connect your supported Canon EOS DSLR camera to the computer running the free server software

The DSLR Remote app running on your iPhone (or iPod Touch) communicates to the DSLR Remote Server software via a WIFI connection. [  ((Either a wireless internet connection in your studio or via an Ad-Hoc network connection on location)) ]

From your iPhone [  ((From now on, if I say iPhone, I mean iPhone and iPod Touch)) ] you can control settings such as shutter speed, aperture and white balance. You can of course fire the camera shutter as well. If you have a Canon EOS DSLR camera that supports Live View [  ((Rebel XSi, 40D, 50D, 5D Mark II, 1Ds Mark III, 1D Mark III)) ]  you can even get a live stream of the camera's viewfinder on your iPhone.

You also get an Intervalometer so you can do time lapse photography. We'll be posting full specs and the full feature set to our web site soon but I couldn't wait any longer to share this information with you.

Oh, the version of the DSLR Remote application that I'm talking about here is the Professional version and will normally sell for $19.99 on the iTunes App Store, but will be offered for $9.99 as an introductory price. A "Lite" version will also be available for $1.99 that only fires the shutter. The required server software that runs on your Mac or Windows computer will be a free download from the onOne website.

A while back, I posted a photo of me setting up the camera for a video shoot that we did. Here's another picture of me (doing my best Air Jordan impersonation) taken remotely by Dan Harlacher using my Canon 5D Mark II and the DSLR Remote application.

I'll be posting a couple of introductory videos about the new product in the next day or two as we finish up the editing. If you'd like to be informed of the release, leave a comment and stay tuned to the blog here. We don't know exactly when Apple will approve the app for the iTunes App Store after we submit it.

For those of you who are Nikon shooters and are wondering "Hey, why is this Canon only?" the answer is:

  1. Because most of us here have Canon cameras; and
  2. This is our first iPhone app and we're not sure how well it will be received

We think it will be cool and that photographers will want it but we thought we'd dip our toes in the water with this one with just one camera platform first. If it goes well and if we get a lot of feedback from Nikon shooters then we'll look at making it available for the Nikon platform as well.

Update 5/15/09 @ 10:07 pm PST: Thank you everybody for the fantastic enthusiasm! On a feature note, I didn't mention earlier that if you set the camera to Bulb mode, you can open and close the shutter from the DSLR Remote application on  your iPhone. Perfect for long exposures and specifically for Light Painting as Ben Wilmore mentioned on my FaceBook page earlier today.

  18. Oh no, now I just have to buy one of those phones! I kept telling my hubby we didn’t need it, but now….LOL
    Very creative! Thanks
    Debbi

  19. Okay… this is going to be an expensive app, because now I have a reason to buy an iphone…

  20. Me too, Lisa and Debbi. I’d been thinking asbout it – how can I say no now, seeing as I have a 20D and 30D?

  23. Nice work! Now I would love it if you guys would figure out how to tether the 5dmkii to the iPhone please . . .

  24. What’s the delay between pressing on the iphone and the shutter release? I’m assuming it’s pretty substantial since there’s wifi involved, then PC and finally camera. 200ms perhaps?

  25. @Cheradenine – Ah, if you just get the Canon WFT-E4A Wireless File Transmitter (& Vertical Grip) you don’t have to tether your 5D Mark II to the computer (or the iPhone) via a USB cable (not that a cable exists to go from iPhone connector to mini USB, at least that I’m aware of). We tested with the Canon WFT-E4A and it works great once you get it set up. The downside is the Canon WIFI transmitter will set you back around $900 if you don’t already have one. :-(

  26. @Robert – I’ll be honest that I was surprised how fast it was actually. I don’t know the actual delay off hand, but I’ll ask our engineer in the morning and post back here.

  27. Another vote for Nikon!!! I will totally buy it if it supports the Nikon D60!!!

  29. Hello Mike,

    when will the companion software be ready for download :-) ?

    Is the setup for the Canon WFT-E4A “easy” or something special?

    Regards,
    Markus

    PS: Great idea!! You made my day (when the software is released ;-)

  32. I just bought it …NOT.
    But if there’s the version working with the Nikon D700 I’ll be the first to get it.

    Keep up the good work.

    greetings from Austria
    helmut

  33. @Markus – We’ll make the companion server software available for download as soon as Apple approves our app for the iTunes App Store. The companion software is done, but there’s no need for it unless you have the iPhone or iPod Touch app as well.

    Dan Harlacher, our senior product manager set up the Canon WFT-E4A. I think he had to download something from Canon’s website but other than that, I think he had it running without much trouble at all.

    Best,
    Mike

  36. @stefan – To the best of my knowledge, the Canon Rebel 1000D is the same as the Rebel XS that we have here in the U.S. That being said however, we have not tested this software with the European or Japanese versions of the supported cameras that I’ve listed here in this post. I would suspect that the SDK (software development kit) would be very similar if not the same as from what I can tell, the only difference between a Rebel 1000D and a Rebel XS for example is the name which it appears is done for marketing reasons based on the geographic location in which it will be sold.

  37. Can I make a suggestion for the next generation?

    If you’re on a laptop (Macbook Pro for instance) and out on a location, there might not be access to wiFi, so how about also support Bluetooth? Or can you easily connect a laptop (MacBook Pro for instance) with the iPhone in a small WiFi just between the two of them, out in the woods?

    Anyway. Cool and I’m gonna get this app!

  39. “(not that a cable exists to go from iPhone connector to mini USB, at least that I’m aware of)”

    Mike – presumably one can make such a cable by linking an iPhone/Pod dock-to-USB cable with a USB-to-miniUSB cable… if so, are you saying that the iPhone/Pod can be directly linked to the camera, and your App will be fully functional?

    This is something I wished for a month ago:
    http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/762189/0#6968980

    Thanks for writing the software I ask for! ;-) For my next request…

  41. @Todd Lambert – Yes, the server software runs on both Mac & Windows operating systems.

  42. @CP Photo – It remembers the folder settings on the server. As for the network it’s just the wifi access point and that is up to the iPhone.

  43. @Petra Hall – In the scenario you described, you just create an ad-hoc network between the laptop and the iPhone. For example, in this video, we didn’t have a wi-fi connection but we created an ad-hoc network between the computer and the iPhone.

  44. @Paul Feng – Yes, you are correct that you could fashion your own to do that. But I hesitate to say that the app will be fully functional if hooked up directly to a camera. The reason is that we developed the app to talk to the free server software we also developed and the server software in turn triggers the connected camera. A direct connection is something we’ll have to consider for a future update.

  47. This sounds great! I’ve been waiting for such an app. Please let me know when it’s released.

  48. @Griffin – It will work if your Canon DSLR is connected via USB or Firewire. :-)

  49. Hi Mike,
    This looks pretty sweet! I have a question though. Will it allow for shifting the aeb? This would be amazing for hdr shots which is frustrating on the 5dm2.

  50. This had me really excited until I read that you still need a computer. If there was a say to control the camera directly from the iPhone, I’m sold. However, still having to have a computer set up somewhere hampers it’s usefulness.

  70. @Paul – You won’t be able to access the AEB settings from the iPhone. However, for the scenario you have outlined, it is possible to access the Exposure Compensation setting from the iPhone. So you could manually adjust the exposure compensation from the iPhone, adjust aperture and shutter speed and then trigger the camera. You’ll get a preview of the image on the iPhone and then you could manually adjust the exposure compensation (or other settings) to then get your necessary shots for the HDR. I’ve found the best HDR results out of my 5D Mark II when I capture multiple exposures this way as opposed to using the AEB which doesn’t give us (or at least me) as much latitude as some of us would like.

    Thanks!

  71. @Rick – I hear ya. I’ll be doing a blog post later this week about running the server software (or not) from an iPhone or iPod Touch in the future. I had a discussion yesterday about this with our engineer and need to digest everything before I blog about it.

  74. @Tim – We haven’t tested that specific setup, but I would suspect it would work. We have a 5D in the office and I’ll see if we can get the WFT-E1 for testing.

  75. @Mike – we will be sure to let everybody know here on the blog, our website and via our monthly eNews as well. Thanks!

  76. Add my name to the list of Nikon shooters who would be interested plse.
    Cheers.

  82. Mike!

    You’re the man, dood! I’ve tried getting the powers that be to do something with the App Store to no avail. Next, we need you to do one of these for our Nikons. Then, I want one that helps me keep up with what courses I’ve taken at kelbytraining.com.

    C’mon man, I’ll buy ya a coupla Rogues, sit you down at a McMenamins, and tell you lies all night long (:<

    Outstanding news man! Congrats!

  83. Is there any lag between the time you press the shutter release on the iPhone and the camera takes the photo?

  84. This looks very promising. Some of our studio guys shoot Canon but we also use Nikon gear so I’d be very interested to see this support both platforms.

  86. Wait — so the camera has to be connected to your computer for it to work? It sounds kind of impractical to not be able to remote shutter, say, out in the field.

    For example, how did you take that shot from atop the basketball hoop if the camera needs to be connected via USB to a computer running the server software?

    Thanks

  90. I saw your video on how you did the basketball thing.
    Can you explain in more detail how the Wi-Fi thing works? Do I have to be connected to my home’s wireless router? Does the software pretend it’s a WiFi network that my phone connects to?

    Thanks

  92. hey, cool!
    but, what’s about nikon dslr’s?
    think about it…
    greets andreas

  93. Whats the point of having it on your phone if you have to have your camera attached to your computer anyway?

  94. wow! i need to get this now for my 40D!!!

    finally an awesome way to connect my love of photography and my iphone!

  96. I bought a Canon 50D last month and a Rebel T1i for my girlfriend about a week ago. Can’t wait to try this out!

  98. Mike –

    Your team is hitting a home run with this one if it works! Congrats!

    When is the Nikon version coming out?

    Droolingly

    Jaress

  99. @Jaress – Hey Mark! Thanks for the kind words. We have the Nikon SDK but I can’t say (yet) when we’ll have anything ready. Believe me, we’ve heard from the Nikon camp loud and clear! :-)

  100. @timo – The new Rebel T1i isn’t supported (yet) in the current Canon remote capture SDK. We contacted Canon but they weren’t able to provide us with a date for when support will be added. We’ll keep an eye out for this and we have that camera in the office so we’ll be ready to test if the support comes. Thanks!

  102. @Eric – If there is a wireless network running (in studio, home, etc) you can connect the iPhone to the computer that way. If there isn’t (like in our case in the basketball video), you can create an ad-hoc network between the computer and the iPhone. I’ll be posting a video soon on how to set up the ad-hoc network for those that are new to that type of setup. Let me know if that answers your question, if not, I’ll try to provide more info. Thanks!

  103. @Eric – we mounted the camera to the backboard and then ran a 15 foot USB cable down to the netbook which was in a backpack hanging from the basketball pole.

  104. @Brad – depends on the distance and strength of your wireless connection. If you’re relatively close, let’s say 20 feet or so, it’s pretty quick. If you get farther away and your connection signal strength drops a bit, you’ll see a slight lag.

  105. @Issac – hey there Issac! We’ve heard from the Nikon users here LOUD AND CLEAR! :-) I’ll see what I can do about that custom app for you…let’s get the beers first though! Hope to see you soon.

  106. Looks like a nice app, looking forward to installing it. It would be clearer for all of us outside the US if you listed the international names of the Rebel line (EOS 300D, 350D, 400D, 450D, etc) just to make sure it will be compatible with our camera.

  107. are you working on using the app directly to the iPhone? if not, this app seems very limited since I can already do all that with the canon software in my laptop to which I would still be tether to.

  111. This looks really great, I already have a netbook that could be used for this.
    One main question, can I focus with this app (for AF lenses of course), like the canon remote utility allows me to, with the EOS 5D II?

    For future releases, I’d love to be able to use the iPod Touch just hooked up to the camera directly via cable also (easier to move the iPod when the screen on the camera is not easily accessible)

  113. Hey Mike, I have the 5d Mark ii and I use the wireless file transmitter to send jpegs back to the laptop for the client to view while I am shooting. Can this be made to work with this system so that they could be walking around with the room and seeing the images on their iPhone while I am shooting? If so, I think I could get 2-3 people to buy this on every shoot so that everyone could be watching the shoot live from the couch on their iPhones. Let me know if you would like me to beta test this for you since I am guessing that you do not have the wireless file transmitter. Thanks!

  114. Hey Mike, sorry for the double post but now that I have seen the video I have another question.. Can you make a version that disables the camera controls so that my clients are not inadvertently firing the camera from the couch? Also, if there are 2-4 clients in the room, will this support multiple iPhone viewing at the same time? It looks like an amazing app.. Thanks again!

  116. Thanks in advance. I was just about to place an order for the Canon Intervalometer when I found your webpage.

    When I went looking at iTunes, just to see if it was approved yet, I found out that there are iphone apps for various camera manuals. I immediately downloaded the one for my Canon 5Dmk2. Just search for “Handi”

    You guys rock!!

  117. Just thought of another possible “feature.” Geotagging of the photo or video.

  118. You’re gonna make tons of money!!!

    Can’t wait for a Sony Alpha version!

  119. Pingback: DSLR Remote: An iPhone app that takes DSLR pictures remotely | Technology Gadgets Review

  122. Wow! I see quite a few applications for this App! Things that are somewhat difficult to do should be easy as pie with an iphone app…

    Can we do feature requests now?!?!

    I hate that my Canon 20D/40D can only take three photos in Exposure Bracketing mode… Maybe the app could do exposure bracketing for us and allow us to set the # of exposures to allow.

    How about allowing exposures longer than 30 seconds when using exposure bracketing? (How? Just calculate all the exposures in the iphone, set the aperture, and use bulb mode but control when the bulb opens and closes).

    How about exposures longer than 30 seconds in general? I’d love a two minute exposure without having to watch a clock. =)

    Alright, maybe that’s enough… I’ll by the app as is because this is just too darn cool… But I see potential. Greeeeeat potential….

    =)

  140. This looks fantastic, and I can’t wait for it to go live but in the meantime I do have a few questions… Will it work remotly if I’m not on the same wifi network? Meaning can I set it up at home and monitor and shoot with it from a seperate wifi at work? Also will it support the video capabilities of the 5d mark2? And finally, will the live view setup air on the iPhone if we do the 900$ wireless method you hinted at being possible? Thanks in advance to any of these you can answer. -b

  199. @pedrosaenz – Sorry, but there’s not much likelihood of us developing this for a platform other than the iPhone. Thanks for asking though.

  200. Pingback: iPhone DSLR Remote app wirelessly controls Canon DSLR | Gadgets World

  201. @Alessandro – The delay is very minimal. Our product manager Dan Harlacher tried to test it today with a stop watch and couldn’t press the stop button fast enough to measure it. We could theoretically put some code into the app to measure it in milliseconds but it would take 1/2 a day and we’d rather spend that time coding a feature someone will benefit from. I’ll shoot a quick video tomorrow in the office to show you and the others who have asked.

  204. That is indeed a nice app, bravo guys!

    I was wondering a few things.

    it would be great to use the iPhone directly with the camera with no laptop involved, but I can think of two set backs. First, you need a wifi adapter for the camera and that ain’t cheap! And second, would it be easy to program the iPhone to communicate directly with all the Canon dSLRs?

    While I was reading your post, Mike, I hade a word that kept popping into my mind: geotagging.

    If the application sells well, consider an Ultra Edition with geotagging included. That would be mind blowing.

    Anyway, good job guys!

  219. Hi there, just wondering. My Canon 1000D, wich is in fact the Digital Rebel XS, if I’n not mistaken, is mentioned as a compatible camera. It has live view, but it isn’t listed in the live-view list. Can anyone explain?

  220. YES YES YEEEES!

    Thank you for building this awesome app. I hope it runs nice and smoothly.

    I can’t wait to use it…now I have to go buy some crappy laptop maybe :(

  222. Hello guys

    It’s an idea I proposed to Canon France 2 months ago, and they did not really see the importance !!

    The only drawback is why do you need a laptop to make this work ? On the field a laptop is not really cool to carry around.

    for example, I had last month a car photo assignment. So you put your camera onboard another chase car, and it’s not easy to frame when the camera is up high there. So a simple iphone linked to my camera would be perfect to make final adjustments… But why the need to have also a laptop around ? it would be so neat with only a cable and one iphone running its own app.

    Can’t wait to see the result though, but I’m afraid I’ll buy it when there will be no need of again another computer.

    Keep on the good work, best everything

    - intravalometer – great for time lapse
    - nice adjustable iPhone screen – for macro photography (double click fast focus check)
    - much more portable (sans laptop – but I like this feature)

    Feature request: DOF calculator based on camera settings
    Feature request: Facial recognition tagging (might become moot when they add this to Aperture)

  261. Great idea. Got the phone, will buy the Nikon version when available – D-200 shooter for now.

  262. Hello!!!

    Great job! I don´t have an iPhone nor an iPod Touch, so the reason I write this comment is because I´m developing an application to control DSLR cameras from PC (with Windows) and I´d like to know the technology you have used to control the camera from the server.

    I have done some testing with TWAIN technlogy, but in most cameras it´s not able to control advanced properties of the camera (because of the poor TWAIN camera support) , and the camera interface can´t be suppressed, so I was planning to use WIA (Windows Image Acquisition), but I don´t know if this technology will let me control some capabilities of the camera.

    I am asking you this because all the applications I have seen to control DSLR cameras advanced settings are applications developed by the manufacturers (Nikon, Canon, etc.) and only valid for products of the same manufacturer, so I thought that each manufacturer implemented their own communication protocol with the PC…

    Thank you! If you prefer you can e-mail me instead of posting a comment to answer this!

  275. I have numerous Canons, including 2 of those in your supported list. I also do some interesting things with an S70. Are you saying that the Canon software does not support remote triggering for the S70? Otherwise it is the same software for both the S70 and the high end Canons.

  276. @Jerry:

    The S70 is not on the supported list of cameras in the SDK that we used to develop this application. Sorry.

  277. Mike,

    Great idea, looking forward to using it. Will it be possible to shoot into a Capture One Pro 4.8 Session?

    Thanks,
    Kyle

  278. Pingback: Control Your Canon Camera From Your iPhone/iPod Touch - 274th Edition | discountgamersshop.com

  279. @kyle – Not sure about the Capture One Pro 4.8 Session. To be honest, I’ve never used Capture One. However, here’s something that might work…in the Server Software, when you launch it, you are asked for a location on your hard drive where you want to store the photos being taken by the camera. In the iPhone software, you choose to have the photos go to either the camera only, or to the camera and the computer.

    What you could do potentially is define the folder location on your hard drive where the photos should go and then tell Capture One (or Lightroom or Aperture for that matter) to watch that folder and catalog those shots for you. Maybe? Would that work for you? Would love to hear one way or the other. Thanks!

  336. I don’t shoot canon, but I have bought and paid for the full version in support of further development.
    My hope is that you will expand this app to support multiple cameras rather than produce different versions for different brands.
    Please consider developing this app further to function as a wireless transmitter for any camera.
    ie. An iPhone or iPod touch running the app would be attached to the camera and another device (iPod, iPhone or mac or windows computer running the app would be able to control the camera remotely).

    This would make expensive hard to configure transmitters obsolete and could even add extra functionality like geotagging and even control of multiple cameras (simultaneous or consecutive shooting for 3D or bullet time.
    I can even picture a partnership with a hardware company to produce a tripod or hotshoe compatible camera mount for the iPhone or iPod touch.

    Ps. My vote is for Nikon

  337. For some reason I can’t get the server to work. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I thought this would be easy to setup, but have found it very difficult on my PC. I have a Mac upstairs but it’s not a laptop so I would rather get it working on my PC if possible.

    When I run the program I get this error: C:\Program Files\onOne Software\DSLR Remote\DSLRRemoteServer.exe This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    -I have tried everything. I even went so far as to do a complete Windows reinstall and still got that error message. Any thoughts on why I am having so much trouble?

    Great concept, I hope it will work for me since I already bought the application.

  338. Im having the same problem as The above post (Law) is having. Getting the same message. Here is the funny thing The laptop they used for the for that video of the basketball shot is the same exact model laptop (Acer aspireone) that im get the error message the above person is getting. I also tried the server software one 2 other computers and get the same error message.

  339. I too am having the same problem.

    The same error message is appearing on my Laptop and my netbook using XP.

    On my Mav I got the server to run but could not fire the shutter.

  343. Greetings from the UK,

    I received a positive response from the technical team.

    The summary and easy option is as follows.

    Instead of using our installer to re-install .Net 3.5 you will instead want to download the .Net 3.5 installer from the Microsoft site directly. This link should take you to their download page:

    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=333325fd-ae52-4e35-b531-508d977d32a6

    The camera cannot be fired when the shutter is on silent mode.

    Good luck it is a great gadget

  351. Ready to purchase as soon as the T1i is added to the list of supported cameras!

    Will subsequent updates to this app be free, like with other iPhone apps?

  362. If you guys got together with the gang at Eye-Fi, do you think you could enable a direct-to-camera system? Think of the possibilities! :-)

  364. Another vote for Nikon PLEEEEASE!!!! Guaranteed purchase once it’s released!

  367. @Doug Young: Thanks for the support and kind words Doug. We don’t plan on having multiple versions of the app for each camera. We’re working on adding Nikon support right now as I write this and when it’s ready, it will be made available as an update to the existing version. So the one app will support both Nikon and Canon dSLRs in the forthcoming update.

    Best,

  376. I would totally buy it if you guys would make a Sony Alpha app, we alternate 4 alphas on our shoots with awesome results, an app for the Alphas would make a whole lot of people happy!

  377. @Simon: That thought has crossed our minds however, the Eye-Fi fits into the memory card slot and as such, doesn’t have access to the camera’s control bus which is needed to fire the camera, etc. etc.

  378. @marcus: Updates like from 1.0 to 1.1 would be free just like other iPhone apps. Updates from 1.0 to 2.0 etc would most likely be paid upgrades just like other software apps regardless of the platform. I would suspect that something like adding support for the T1i would fall under a 1.0 to 1.1 (1.2, etc) type of an update and therefore be free. We’re constantly checking for an updated SDK from Canon with T1i support and will get it added asap.

  380. Would really love to see this in the Canada iTunes store!
    I’ve been using Snatch and Snatch Server to trigger the shutter, but it would be great to have these extra controls.
    Keep up the good work!

  387. @Mike (message 224)

    Thanks for that response. Excellent.

    I work part time in a camera store training our local photographers and offering part-time private tuition. As soon as the Nikon is supported it will spread faster than H1N1

  388. @Mike (message 185)

    Since I am only familiar with easy to use networking products like the Apple Airport Nikons wireless transmitter is totally opaque in it’s interface.

    Ad-Hoc is straightforward, but infrastructure or ftp seems a challenge.
    If you develop an understanding of how to set this up with a wpa2 network during your experiments – a walkthrough on the blog would be worth it’s weight in gold.

    Cheers

  396. I like the idea of the app, very useful. Without meaning to sound negative. However, I have one question, if the camera is connected to a computer, which has a higher resolution screen than an iPhone to review images and all the features free of charge that this application offers included with the free bundled camera software. What unique benefits does this application offer over the camera software on the Mac/PC?

  399. Heya Guys. You really should do a Nikon version. Other than the guys you know most of mine are shooting Nikon. ;)

  400. This is a great app guys and will definitely purchase this. Could you now write an app where I can backup my photo’s directly to the IPHONE from Canon DLSR so i.e. use it as back up storage when out in the field shooting and not wanting to carry a laptop with me :o )

    NOW that would be really awesome!

    Thanks
    Dirk

  403. this looked fantastic at first, but the fact that the camera has to be connected to a pc with a cable really killed it… it takes away all the versatility I hoped to gain from something like this.. the day you make something that can make the iPhone a 100% wireless remote for my camera, also without involving a pc in the process of photographing (just the iPhone and the camera), then I’ll buy it..

  404. This look like a great app for those who can use it.

    It is strange though, that there is no plans for Olympus support.
    I’m sorry ’bout that.

    Maybe you guys should consider support for the E-series…

  405. @dariojferrer:

    The app currently only supports triggering a single camera. Also, in version 1.0, you cannot start / stop video with the 5D Mark II.

  406. @Craig:

    Fair question. Lots of people are talking about how they’re using this to remotely trigger their camera even though it is connected to the computer so take a look at the other comment threads for the other iPhone posts here, but here are a couple.

    1. Self-portraits
    2. If you’d like to be able to interact with your model/subject without having to run back and forth to the computer camera. Studio portrait sessions, product shots (re-arranging and firing, etc)
    3. You want to place the camera/computer in a location where you can’t be the whole time (i.e. wedding photography – sticking the camera up in a balcony while you’re on the main level)

    There are several other scenarios that others have come up with as well, but these are just a few. In the end, the app has value to some and less value (or no value) to others. :-)

    Best,
    Mike

  409. One possible thing to try is a wireless USB between the camera and host. I have been thinking about this but don’t actually own the USB gear.

  411. Hmm.

    What would be really good from my perspective would be to run the camera interface via the iPhone and control that from the PC via Wi-Fi.

    In other words the opposite way around to your current connectivity.

    Don’t suppose there is any chance of that?

    Grant

  414. I have connected my Eos 1Ds Mark III with my wireless transmitter WFT-E2 and Canon Eos Utility Software on my MacBook Pro 2.33 Ghz and Leopard 10.5.7. Here it is mandatory to set up the connection via Canon paring software. Place the paring software (via Eos Utility function into your OSX- Start folder). Start wireless connection from you camera menu (choose your ad hoc network). Eos Utility will automatically detect your camera and run its Eos utility remote GUI. Close only Canon Utility (not paring software) and run DSLR Remote Server software. Independent from running Eos Utility software (only Canon paring software is needed in the background (Part of Eos Utility, you will find it in Utility preferences)) you can use DSLR Remote. Connect your iPhone to your ad hoc network und it works!!! Unbelievable. And everything with the current DSLR-Remote software available here. Great!!!
    Thank you so much.

    Greeting from Germany

  415. I think your concept is great. I use Nikon gear and can’t wait until that version
    is released.

  416. In no way I want to discredit your effort, but given that using the Canon-tools that came with the camera and free “VNC Remote Desktop” application on the iPhone will yield the same results, I find the pricing a bit steep.

    So, at least throw in some features that are not “already there”, like HDR-sequencing with more than 3 exposures.

  435. @firepower

    Give these guys some credit. Just having all the buttons in the right place has to be worth double the existing price of the app, plus the cost of the app is little more than the cost of the usb cable to tether the camera to your (no doubt windows) PC.

    I struggle to even believe that you splashed out for an iPhone

  436. As a Nikon owner who purchased the product… when exactly in July is 1.1 coming out?

  437. @Chris H: The plan is to submit the 1.1 update to Apple early next week (7/20) and it takes Apple as many as 9 days to review and appprove thx app before it shows up in the App Store. Could be less than 9 days but it could be that long from past experience.

  438. Mike, is there any news on the option to start/stop Canon 5D Mark II video with the DSLR Camera Remote? Thanks.

  449. Да уж По-моему, минусы значительно превосходят плюсы. Думаю, не стоит заморачиваться.

  452. There is a lot of Olympus users out there, who would like nothing more than a versatile remote like the one you have created. Getting beyond the factory presets of EV stops is essential for Panorama photography using HDR, and factory settings are NOT there to help it at all. If you can make a version that supports the E series of Olympus, I can get you thousands of clients. No kidding involved.

    Looking forward to your progress, or I will have to have it developed by someone else.

    Best regards,

    Trausti

  460. I’m a wildlife photographer who often works in difficult outdoor situations where a PC is impractical at best. Whether I’ve set up the camera on a tripod waiting for animals to approach, or I’ve attached the camera to the end of a monopod so I can reach very high (or deep) to get a special angle, it would be FAR better to rely on a wireless transmitter on the camera itself and the iPhone to see what’s in Live View.

    Nikon users already have access to their Camera Control Pro software (admittedly far pricier than yours.) if you can eliminate the PC in the middle, we’ll have a tiny full-function remote control for the camera and that would ROCK.

    Just checking in then. Nikon’s WRT-4 wireless transmitter takes over for the PC’s Wi-Fi functionality. If you could somehow bridge that gap using just the iphone…?

    Crossing fingers.

  464. I downloaded the app on my iPhone today, but it does not work..It only shows a blank page of Camera Servers.. I paid 1.99 USD for this..What’s WRONG

  466. Not to put a damper on all the enthusiasm but from what I understand this app will only help people who want to shoot really remotely i.e. your camera and netbook or laptop are sitting somewhere inaccessible. But if you are looking to simply control the camera settings or change them between shots, this is not really a solution because you still need a laptop in the middle. Moreover Canon has an excellent remote to do all this for the higher end cameras, so don’t need a laptop or an iPhone. So I think it is great that this app will help some people, it really does not do much for most people. Great effort and definitely the right idea for a select few very adventurous photographers. Very cool!! Thanks.

  468. @Michael Beck: Yes, we will add support for the Canon 7D in a future free update. We don’t have a timeline to share at this time though.

  471. Would this work with a Canon 5D earlier version (sometimes called Mark I?

    Also the Canon has a USB out standard lead. This is a standard mini plug cable to usb plug. Would it be possible to plug the Iphone directly into the phone & use it as a remote shutter cable/wireless etc

    Also can other phones use it ie Nokia e71 which has infrared?

    Thanks

  472. HI Mike

    Will this app work if you are not on a wi fi network. Can the iphone be hooked up to the camera via usb wire and still trigger the camera?

    Thanks

  473. Hello

    Could there be a (lite ?) version of your app just enabling the liveview of canon cameras to be seen on the iphone screen through a USB cable ? No need to wifi that, the 2 devices are supposed to be very close. So no need of a computer either….

    That would be a very neat capability for those video DSLR, and you would not need to buy an expensive monitor for those tricky shots when you cannot see the camera screen, which is not flippable…

    I already asked for this but I’m not sure I was understood… Sorry for my poor english.

    Thanks for the answer…

  485. Will it be possible to use the iPad as a display for the 5DMkII? What do you think? And of course we want the DSLRremote-app to run on it. But using it as a real-time display via hdmi would be nothing less than sensational. Let us know.

  487. This article is really the most poignant on this valuable topic. I absolutely feel the same way with your viewpoints and will eagerly look forward to your forthcoming updates. Just saying thanks will not just be adequate, for the extraordinary lucidity in your writing. I will right away grab your rss feed to stay informed of any updates. Great work and best of luck in your blogging endeavors!

  488. SONY SONY SONY

    please bring a sony version…to show my dedication…i even bought your app despite knowing you don’t have support for sony…YET ;)

    sony!!!!

  490. @Tim: With the auto-bracketing feature that is already there, you can get 2 stops or more.

  491. upps, thats what happens when a german goes english ;)

    misunderstanding, i meant 2 stops in between the bracketing steps.

    1/125 1/30 1/8 0.5s 2.0s 8.0s

    and thanxx for the quick response!!!

  495. When do you plan to support Canon T2i. Just purchased and thought this would work as you already support the T1i. Is there a way to trick the application into thinking it is talking to a T1i.

  500. Not wireless if the camera has to be pluged into a computer! How about a blue tooth transmitter that will plug into the cameras usb port and be fired by the i phone and then it would be wireless.

  503. I would buy it if you could enter comments of each picture directly to photo properties, thus giving you the opportunity to enter ideantification info on each photo.

  505. I apologize if this has come up before in a previous thread, but would it be possible to tether the iphone to the camera, and act as a wireless transmitter via wifi, sending images back to a PC over a local wifi network? (Essentially replacing the need for the expensive Canon Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E3(A)). Or would the iphone’s transfer rate be too slow for this?

  506. This sounds like a very cool app. I’d love to see a future version of it on an ipad connected directly to the camera doing away with the need for a host computer. A massive live view screen with touch controls… mmmm nice.

  510. @Steph: Not yet. We’re working on an update that adds support for the T2i but for mow, it’s not supported.

  511. I was wondering if it’s possible to upgrate the whole thing a bit, so you could even control the motor of a Canon Auto-Focus lens. Therefor pulling your focus remotely. Might come in handy while shooting a movie and the camera is placed on a crane or such.
    Thanks in advance and by the way awsome work.

  512. This is awesome work…I vote for the Nikon D3 and have to ask for your to also considering a port for the Android market.

  513. hi..

    its impossible to know if and when the Canon 550D camera will be supported?
    thanx

  515. @beoCZ: We have an update coming for Canon 550D support as well as some other updates as well.

  517. I want to be able to transfer photos from my Cannon DSLR to the cloud via my iPhone, while I’m out-and-about. Is there an app for this or one in development?

  520. Hi,
    can you guys finally tell the user on your App when you will update the software? i have an canon eos 550D and i am waiting for an update! It´s now 6 months since you released the last version.

    Cheers

  522. Hello and Android plataform ??? my Cell is Android and very good idea the app for Android OS 20 Euros por aplication is very good, for what age ? xD long life Adroid Plataform

  525. I’m sure it’s something well discussed before now, but I just wanted to advocate for a direct cabled, camera – iphone interface that doesn’t require a laptop. For us location photographers, it would be an extremely useful tool. Thanks for the great work thus far!! I look forward to seeing what you come out with next.

  526. @christian – we don’t have any plans on releasing a Sony version of this app. For the forseeable future, this is going to only support select Canon and Nikon cameras.

    Best,
    Mike

  529. It’s easier and lighter to by a wireless trigger for your camera than it is to connect your camera to a computer out in the field. Who wants to lug a computer, and all the camera gear up a mountain, or perhaps anywhere else??? I don’t get it???
