If you change the exposure mode on camera is that reflected correctly in DD?

Yes, as I change the camera setting (manual dial) they are correctly picked
up by DSLRDashboard.

Can you please install this version:
https://code.google.com/p/dslrdashboard/downloads/detail?name=DslrDashboard_V0.3
0.29_4.apk&can=2&q=#makechanges

Then set your camera to M mode with the dial and connect to Android.
Press the 'i' button in top row, then press the 'Save info' button.
That will create a device_info.txt (containing the camera supported commands, 
properties, events etc) in your Android device '/sdcard/DCIM' folder.
Please send me that file

I can repeat the same issue with Canon EOS 40D and Nexus 7 2012.

I tried to generate an info file but tapping 'Save info' does not do anything 
and I could not find a device_info.txt in my device's DCIM dir. Other than this 
issue I am able to control the camera using DSLRDashboard.

0.30.30 resolves the issue. Thanks!

Yep, I disabled the check for Canon DSLR where DD can't find the 'capture mode' 
property. Hope I can manage somehow to get one of those Canon DSLR to see if 
there is a way to read the 'capture mode' property. To bad that Canon does not 
provide documentation for developers.

It must be available as Helicon Remote (running on my Nexus 7) does provide
it. I found a reference to it in one of the header files for an arduino
project that connects to EOS cameras via USB. It also provides an
enumeration of the data. You can find it here
https://github.com/felis/Arduino_Camera_Control/blob/master/canoneos.h. I
am assuming that the data stream coming from the camera is the same - I
can's see why it would be different. Hope this provides some clues that are
helpful.

Chris.

Thanks for the info, it was in front of me and didn't see it. On 650D I use 
another property 0xd138.
I uploaded a test version, hope this will display the exposure mode. Tested 
with the 650D and it worked but I couldn't change the value with it.

Grand job. I now get the mode button, and it recognises the changes.

Chris.
