Remote DSLR Control

BETA 0.8.6.0 of RemoteDSLRcontrol released

TetherMaster — Thu, 28 Jun 2012 12:33:04 +0000

I uploaded the latest BETA of RemoteDSLRcontrol today, which has many small improvements and some new features.

New Features
- Added setting for controlling Flash Mode.
- New/Revised image preview and full screen preview with Zoom-in(left-click), Zoom-out(alt + left-click), Pan(ctrl + left-click) and Reset(right-click).
- Full screen preview automatically gets updated on new image captured.
- Added primitive clipped highlights overlay(For now, just red and no blink).

Bug fixes
Fixed non working function(use suffix on HDR sequences)
Many small bugs fixed…

The image preview is still not working as fluid as I would like and I will continue working on it.

For the next release I hope to introduce some more focus function, among other the possibility to select the focus point from the live view image, and a manual focus function from the same place.

I also hope I will be able to get in some more flash functions, for both built-in flash, external flash and remote controlled flashes. Unfortunately, the focus part in the Nikon SDK is quite messy, so it might take a while before I get my head wrapped around everything that I would like to implement.

You can download the new version from the download page, or if you’re already a user from your old link.

64Bit vs 32Bit

TetherMaster — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 22:29:00 +0000

Until now I’ve been running my tests mostly on a 32-bit XP system. Finally got the time to try it at home on a 64-bit windows 7 system, and I can’t say I’m happy with the results. The camera connections is a lot more unreliable, and I’ve also ran into some other disturbing bugs… Besides that, the first Beta will soon go out to the people that showed interest in the application. The first beta will ONLY be distributed to Nikon D80, D90 and D7000 owners, and as my clarification mail tonight said… to those people with these cameras and running XP on 32-bit… Hopefully, I will get the 64-bit problem solved quite fast and start rolling out demos for other platforms quite fast.

I still need more beta applicants though, so whatever camera you have… if Nikon Let me know and I will send you a test version as soon as it’s supported.

Even if you don’t want to participate in the BETA program, I will be happy to hear what you want and need from a tethered camera software like RemoteDSLRcontrol… Drop me a line and help me out

First step on the journey of making a Nikon camera control software

TetherMaster — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:55:51 +0000

I’ve been working on this camera control software based on the Nikon SDK for a while, and now I’m ready for some help! Well, a lot of help… Nikon cameras are expensive and there’s no way that I can test them all without help from fellow Nikonians

So anyway… the site is up and with some help from fellow Nikon shooters I think we can what we can achieve a nice and useable application..
