Besides adding support for Nikon DSLRs, this update also adds Auto Bracketing, Auto Burst (for sports shooting), Auto Focus during Live View, RAW+JPEG support and an option for supporting Lightroom’s auto import feature. I almost always only shoot in RAW so this worked well even with the RAW files I was capturing. I was also impressed by the speed at which the image was previewed on my iPhone screen. I loved having the bulk of the camera controls right there in the palm of my hand. I tried it with both my Nikon D700 and D5000 DSLRs with no problem. The images are NOT simultaneously written to the camera’s card. This is great for people that want to hand the images off to an editor right after the shoot. You specify where the images will be captured to and on which drive. The setup was very straight forward and actually pretty easy. You can fire the camera, then look down at your iPhone/iPod touch and see if you like what you just captured. Lastly, this is ideal if you need to do some self portraits. You can also show the subject the image you just captured right then in there without them having to getup and go look at your laptop. You can go interact with the kids without having to run back to the camera and possibly miss the shot. If you’re doing portrait photography especially with children. If you’re doing product photography where you’re having to move the product or swap the product out constantly for a different product, you could have the camera on a tripod and you can hang out by the product table and continue to shoot making adjustments along the way. Practical uses: I can think of a couple of practical uses right off the bat. It can save you several trips back and forth to your camera to change settings if you are not happy with the images you’re getting. Think of the DSLR Camera Remote app as a wireless cable release that not only allows you to fire the camera, but also allows you to change the settings (if you go with the Pro version) and shows you the image you just captured without going back to the laptop. I thought, well if I gotta plug my camera into my laptop and run software on my laptop, then why do I need this app on my iPhone? Here’s the best way to think of it. This is one that I struggled with at first. However, it’s really not much different than most tethered setups anyway. Now this may seem like a lot and well it is. Next you’re going to need to plug that camera into your Mac or PC using a USB cable and you’re going to need to run the onOne DSLR Camera Remote Server app (free download here.) Lastly you’re going to need a Wi-Fi connection between your iPhone/iPod touch and your laptop so that the app can control your tethered camera. Here’s the list of the ones that this app works with. First off you’ll need a compatible Canon or Nikon DSLR camera. So when onOne announced that their DSLR Camera Remote Professional Edition app for the iPhone was now compatible with Nikon DSLR’s, I was intrigued and wanted to try it out.īefore I get into this app let me first tell you what it does AND what’s required to use it. I’m also used to shooting tethered into my laptop. As a portrait photographer I’m very used to shooting in a controlled environment like my studio.
