Remote Firing

DSLR Camera Remote's key feature is the ability to remotely trigger the shutter, or fire the camera. This seemingly basic feature is very powerful. You can now trigger a camera in a difficult position, such as in a church balcony or behind a basketball backboard.

Or you can use it to give yourself another set of hands in the studio - to interact with your subject better or hold a reflector. There are all sorts of unique shooting situations where you would like to trigger your camera from a distance. With DSLR Camera Remote you can now do this with the equipment you already have, no need for expensive radio transmitters or open frequencies.

Remote Adjustments

DSLR Camera Remote Professional Edition gives you full control over common camera controls including shutter speed, aperture, ISO, white balance, and more.

Image Review

Better than a simple release, the DSLR Camera Remote lets you see the image you just photographed to confirm you got the shot you wanted. With the Professional Edition you can even zoom to 1:1 to check focus and important details.

LiveView

When you combine the DSLR Camera Remote Professional Edition with a current generation Canon EOS DSLR you can access the LiveView mode, which allows you to see through the camera's viewfinder in near real-time. This allows you to see your composition before you trigger the shutter.

This feature is great for self-portraits or when you can't see your subject from your position. See a list of Canon cameras that are known to be compatible with LiveView mode.

Nikon DSLR Camera Support

Owners of Nikon digital SLR cameras rejoice! DSLR Camera Remote now supports Nikon cameras with the same robust features that Canon EOS cameras enjoyed in version 1.0. View the supported camera list.

Auto Bracketing

The new auto bracketing feature allows you to create a series of bracketed exposures, perfect for creating HDR (High Dynamic Range) images.

Burst Mode

If you are shooting action you can now use DSLR Camera Remote to trigger a rapid-fire sequence of images with a supported camera.

Updated User Interface with Big View

The user interface for DSLR Camera Remote has been updated to make it easier to find important controls and minimize those that are used less frequently. With the new Big View mode the control panel can be hidden for a larger image preview. In addition, the camera can be fired and LiveView preview can accessed in the horizontal position of the camera.

Lightroom Auto-Import Support

A new option has been added to the server to support Photoshop Lightroom's Auto-Import feature.

Intervalometer

The Professional Edition features an advanced intervalometer, or timer. The intervalometer can be used as a custom self-timer or can take a series of images at a given time interval. This is great for creating stop-action animation. You can take a picture anywhere from 1 second to 1 day apart and take up to 1,000 frames.

Zero Configuration

DSLR Camera Remote is a no-brainer to use with its zero-configuration Bonjour networking. Just plug your camera into a network-capable host computer, launch the DSLR Camera Remote Server software, and your iPhone or iPod touch will discover your camera automatically. Your host computer can be attached to a wired or wireless network, or it can be the host in an ad-hoc, or device-to-device network. No active internet connection is required!

Auto Focus During LiveView

Users love the LiveView function that allows them to get a live, video preview through their cameras lens. Now users can trigger auto focus when in LiveView mode as well.

Other Enhancements

There are numerous other minor enhancements to stability and usability. Below are a few of the most important.

  • Changed the naming system for downloaded images to prevent accidental overwriting.
  • Raw+JPG are now treated as a single entity rather than appearing on the phone as two files.
  • Added support for the Canon EOS Rebel T1i/500D/Kiss X2.
  • Updated the user guide to include a troubleshooting section for users having network or configuration issues. This has a special button in the server dialog for fast access.
  • Disabled controls stay visible and update as the camera changes. For example if you are working in aperture priority, the shutter speed is still visible and updates as the camera changes.

Real World Applications for DSLR Camera Remote

Seeing is believing. Here are several examples of real world applications for the DSLR Camera Remote. See for yourself the difference that DSLR Camera Remote makes in making digital photography easier, faster and better.

Self Portraits

If you've ever experimented with self portraits, you know how hard it can be using self-timers and running back and forth to the camera to see if you've got the shot. Now with DSLR Camera Remote Professional Edition you can see yourself through the viewfinder of the camera to make sure you are positioned correctly, then take and review multiple shots at your own pace rather than racing against the timer.

Free to Move

Stop hiding behind the camera. If you photograph children or pets you know how valuable it can be to keep eye contact with your subject and to interact with them to get the right expression. Being stuck behind the camera is often the worst place to be. With DSLR Camera Remote you can move freely to interact with your subject, hold a reflector, you name it. You can fire the camera easily and even review the shot without having to return to the camera.

Event Remote Cameras

Sometimes you just can't be behind the camera. If you've placed a camera in a church balcony or behind a basketball backboard you need to be able to fire your camera remotely. Today you have to use expensive radio transmitters that can only fire the camera. With DSLR Camera Remote you can fire, control and review your shots with the iPhone or iPod touch and the laptop you already own.

“Pretty much the best app I’ve seen. It’s so useful in the studio when you’re not next to the camera or tethered computer…I can keep making adjustments while snapping shots and reviewing exposures on my phone so I can get it dialed in perfectly very easily.”
