Description

Please read carefully as there are some hardware requirements and limitations when using the app.

Control your DSLR camera from your iPhone or iPad with five different modes of operation. Shoot, Long Exposure, Time Lapse, HDR Bracketing and Movie Mode. DSLR.Bot also has a GPS logging feature for geo-tagging your photos. This app requires an infrared transmitter to control the camera functions.

Please visit www.dslrbot.com to check the compatibility of your camera. The DSLR.Bot Infrared Transmitter is also available for purchase from the website as well as DIY instructions to create your own.

Warning for the iPhone and iPod Touch devices purchased in the European region. There is a Volume Limit Cap applied to these devices which may severely affect the performance of the IR transmitter and in some cases will not work. Unless you are familiar with a workaround to this Cap, please proceed at ones own discretion.

What's New

Version 5 (Nov 24, 2012)

Update v5.0

Cable release now has a wake up function in the settings menu. This lets you send a signal to the camera to wake up the device before the shot is fired. This lets you conserve your camera's battery if you have a 'Auto Power Off' set on your camera.

With cable mode the speed of Long Exposures and HDR Bracketing have been increased to 1/13(0.77 seconds), which is still relatively slow in comparison to the raw speed of a DSLR. This is a hardware limitation of the camera using a cable release  to trigger the camera in bulb mode.

Timelapse:
- "Script" button opens up a list of scripts that you can use to program the app to trigger the camera at specific times.
- To edit a script you can press the side arrow button. The format used for the script is Date:YYYY:MM:DD Time:HH:MM:SS Bulb:SS' For example, to shoot on the 1st of January 2012 at 1:30pm the script should be written as 'Date:2012:01:01 Time:13:30:00 Bulb:0'.
- If you wish to use a timed long exposure you must set the camera to bulb and give the 'Bulb:0' a value in seconds. For example to shoot on the 2nd of January 2012 at 4:15pm with a 5 second long exposure the script should be written as 'Date:2012:01:02 Time:16:15:00 Bulb:5'.
- Scripts can be deleted with a swipe. New scripts can be added using the "+" button. When in editing a script its name can be changed using the text box displaying the script name. You must press save to retain the changes of the script name and the script edits.
- There are two ways to add scripts from outside of the app, you can copy and paste the script directly into the editor, or you can save a text document containing the script into iTunes Document directory for DSLR.Bot. To do this you must open up iTunes and select your iOS device then proceed to the apps tab. Scroll to the bottom of the page and browse the list of apps under 'Document Directory', select DSLR.Bot and then drag the text file to the box just to the left of the list.

Movie Mode:
- Sony NEX cameras now supports remote video start and stop.

Camera IR Signal Configurations:
Canon - Shoot, Long Exposure, Timelapse, HDR Bracketing, Movie Mode
Nikon - Shoot, Long Exposure, Timelapse, HDR Bracketing
Pentax - Shoot, Long Exposure, Timelapse, HDR Bracketing
Sony - Shoot, Long Exposure, Timelapse, HDR Bracketing, Movie Mode

Version 4.2 (Apr 20, 2012)

Update v4.2

DSLR.Bot can now run in the background and in standby mode of the iPhone, however triggering consistency may be interrupted when switching applications. 'Auto GPS Tracking' will also function in background mode.

----------

Update v4.1

Fixed camera signal to support Canon 60D, 600D, 550D.

Fixed bluetooth Support for stereo A2DP devices.

Added rapid fire when Shoot or 2 Second delay button is held down. A quick swipe down of either button will hold the rapid fire on until pressed again to release.

Timer Accuracy Resolution is added in settings and is used to adjust between low, medium and high timer accuracy for Long Exposure, Time Lapse and HDR Bracketing. Lowering the resolution allows for older generation iOS devices to handle the app's performance better. Increasing the resolution allows for more accurate timings but may severely affect the performance of older iOS devices.

Designed for both iPad and iPhone interface.

All settings have been moved directly into DSLR.Bot located at the top right hand corner of the app screen.

Stereo audio Bluetooth devices can be used as a wireless link to the camera by pairing the device to the iPhone and plugging the infrared transmitter to the Bluetooth receiver. (devices running iOS 5 may have some Bluetooth compatibility issues)

The remote button on headset adapters can be use to control the main functions of each mode. This is especially useful for Movie mode when wanting to start and stop video recording from a wired button that is conveniently placed on a DSLR rig.

Turn on and off 'Welcome message and Alerts'. This also applies to low volume alerts, infrared transmitter detection and GPS notifications.

Two new camera signals have been added, JR and Cable.

JR is used for JR remotes that can be attached to camera that don't natively support IR remote control.

Cable signal is used for directly connecting the iPhone to the camera. A 'DSLR.Bot release cable adapter' is required for this to work. Please do not attempt to connect without the use of this specialised adapter as it may result in damaging you camera.

Long Exposure:
- Individually adjustable HH:MM:SS:MS for fine tuning exposures.
– Create time lapse Long Exposures using ‘Repeat’ and ‘Delay’. Once Long Exposure settings are to your liking you can then specify how many times to repeat this Long Exposure and also the delay between sequences.
- Ramping for long exposure time lapses. This is activated once the 'repeat' value is greater than 1.
- Ramp the exposure up or down while the sequence is running to adjust for changing light conditions.
- Add extra exposures on the fly by typing in a value in 'Add Shots' then pressing 'Add'.
- Pause the sequence to switch out the lens, memory card or camera battery.

Timelapse:
- Setting the value 0 in the total shots box will make the sequence shoot for infinity.

HDR Bracketing:
- Added 'interval' dial for specifying the seconds of delay between each bracket exposure.
- Create time lapse HDR with ‘Repeat’ and ‘Delay’. Once HDR settings are to your liking you can then specify how many times to repeat this HDR sequence and also the delay between sequences.

Movie Mode:
- Configurable 'Auto Restart Rec' settings. Set the time for the camera to restart recording to get around the 12 minutes recording limit.
- Adjust the delay in which the camera restarts recording by setting the 'Delay Auto Restart' setting. This can be found in DSLR.Bot settings.

Camera IR Signal Configurations:
Canon - Shoot, Long Exposure, Time Lapse, HDR Bracketing, Movie Mode
Nikon - Shoot, Long Exposure, Time Lapse, HDR Bracketing
Pentax - Shoot, Long Exposure, Time Lapse, HDR Bracketing
Sony - Shoot, Long Exposure, Time Lapse, HDR Bracketing
