We have just posted an update to our DSLR Camera Remote Server. The version has been bumped up to version 1.2. Here’s what’s new:
- Fixed an issue with the Canon Rebel T1i preventing its use on Windows
- Added support for Nikon D300s
- Fixed an issue with Nikon D300 when used in LiveView and Burst mode at the same time
- Improved permissions detection and warning on Mac OS X
- Fixed an error on Mac OS X when an old version of Nikon Camera Control is installed
- Fixed an error when attempting to autofocus in LiveView when the camera is set to manual focus
- Fixed a problem with bulb mode on the Rebel T1i
The new version of the DSLR Camera Remote Server is compatible with version 1.1 of the iPhone or iPod Touch app. The iPhone/iPod touch app and the server DO NOT require the same version number as they did in the past. Also, please note that this update is an update to the Server and not the iPhone/iPod Touch app. You will not see an update in the iTunes store.
You can download the new DSLR Camera Remote Server 1.2 immediately from our web site.

If you are thinking about getting DSLR Camera Remote for the iPhone or iPod Touch but haven’t made a decision yet, here’s a good review from Australia iPhone.
Before I used DSLR Camera Remote, I was concerned that there was going to be a bit of a delay between tapping fire and my camera actually snapping the shot as this would be a major problem when shooting subjects like children or pets. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that there is no noticeable delay.

One the ways that you can connect your iPhone or iPod Touch running our DSLR Camera Remote app to your computer is over an established Wi-Fi network. But what if you’re out on location and there is no established Wi-Fi network? For that scenario, you’ll want to create an Ad-Hoc Network like we did for our basketball video where we didn’t have an existing wi-fi connection.
Now for the most part, using an Ad-hoc network works just fine, but I found out the hard way during a press meeting, that if you have an iPhone 3Gs, connecting over an ad-hoc network requires an extra step in order for it to work. I haven’t researched this in-depth, but I’m guessing that somehow when you connect to an ad-hoc network that the iPhone is still on the 3G network and those two network connections interfere with each other somehow causing a less than reliable connection between the DSLR Camera Remote app on the iPhone and the server (this may not be confined to just our app, but I haven’t explored it any further than our app).
Here’s what I did to get around the connection problem.

I just got word from Apple that they have officially approved version 1.1 of the DSLR Camera Remote application. If you already own version 1.0, you should see the free 1.1 update as an update on your iPhone or iPod Touch via the App Store Updates section as soon as they push the 1.1 update to the iTunes Store. I did a check in iTunes at 4:12 pm PST on 8/24/09 and it still says version 1.0 so it may be up to 24 hours before version 1.1 goes live, but it has been approved.
Please note, Apple gives developers like us about 24 hours notice that an app has been approved so we can update our web site or just be aware that it is about to go live. It could go live in an hour or it could be 23 hours from now. The reason I’m telling you this is version 1.1 of the DSLR Camera Remote app is going to require version 1.1 of the free companion server software. Version 1.1 of the iPhone app WILL NOT work with version 1.0 of the Server. Likewise, version 1.0 of the iPhone app will not work with version 1.1 of the server.
So, we’ll be watching for when version 1.1 of the iPhone app is live in the iTunes App store and will then post the download links for the 1.1 server immediately.

For those of you who are anxiously awaiting the approval of DSLR Camera Remote v1.1 to be approved by Apple’s App Store review team, you are in good company. We spoke with our Apple Developer representative last week and the app is in the review queue, but that’s all we really know. We were told that they have so many apps to review that any app that is submitted, whether it is a brand new app or an update to an existing app could take between 3 and 4 weeks. Here’s a screen shot of our iTunes app status screen.
The May 15, 2009 date is the date of the original submission of the 1.0 app, not the 1.1 update.
That’s good and bad. The good part is that if you’re an iPhone or iPod Touch user, there are lots of apps being developed for your potential use. The bad news is that they have to be reviewed and that process takes time. Your continued patience is appreciated. Just remember that the Apple App Store review team is filled with people just like you and me who are working as fast as they can.
