Open source software for remotely controlling DSLR - digiCamControl

dukus

Hi, i just want to revive a forum thread from old forum page http://nikonrumors.com/forum/topic.php?id=5463&page=2#post-127475
In mean time we made a lot of improvement and manged to release a stable version of software and remade the application site too.

I started this discussion to collect new feature request and bug reports and last but not least to make a lite publicity.

We do not appreciate the free publicity angle.....but...this looks like a development project which may prove useful for some NRF members. Does this work only on a Windows OS or do you have a Mac system for tethering to an iPad?

dukus

Sorry for pub, was with good intention. It is only for windows system and no plan to port to a Mac system, but IPad /IPhone can be used as remote in combination with a windows PC.

OK, folks..this is now on the maIn NR Blog. Has anyone tried this out?

Yes, works good with the D600, but I already had the ControlMyNikon program.

Live view remote via my Samsung Note is working but useless, because you don't see the picture (or I cannot find it). To move the focus point you have to do it on the attached computer where you see the picture.

For those looking for a tethering alternative for Mac, check out the Sofortbild app: http://www.sofortbildapp.com

Since Aperture always loses contact with my D800, I'm using that app. It can also forward the image directly to Aperture (or any other editor, I guess).

Basically it is a CamRanger without the price tag. I use this for my set shots over feeders here at home. Nice to sit away from the camera so the birds are more relaxed.
