Wireless Live-View + Camera-Shutter-Release #230

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 

Hello, 

it does not seem to be possible to use wirelessly Live-View and at the same 
time the shutter release of the Nikon D800E. 'Hubaitz' answered me already in 
the TimeLapse-Forum: 'It is not a DslrDashboard limitation but a camera one. 
When live view is enabled the camera does not allow to initiate with the 
capture button or with a remote release.' So I do not know if this is 
constructive, to put this issue again on the table, but maybe someone has an 
alternative idea how to 'bypass' the stubborn Nikon-Software of the D800. I 
also just found out that the Nikon-WMU-App has a butten to switch between a 
'Camera-Control-Mode' and an 'App-Control-Mode' which i guess does not effect 
the LifeView-Picture at the same time. Could this be also an option and 
alternative way for DslrDashboard to handle this Nikon-Problem? I also have to 
admit that I wrote to the CamRangerPeople: 'Is it possible to use the shutter 
release of a Nikon D800E while using the CamRanger-Live-View to have an 
external Live-View-Picture on a tablet and at the same time an external shutter 
release on the camera'). And they answered: 'Yes you can use something else in 
the shutter release port.' I do not have any experiences with the CamRanger and 
I have no experience with the Nikon-WMU-App either, but after all, this 
confusing information made me hope that there still is a little chance to make 
it happen: Wireless LiveView and the Camera-Shutter-Release at the same time. 
So if you get new inspiration or see another way to handle this. please let me 
know. all the best wishes.

As I wrote already, after the camera enters live view in response to the 
command sent from the application the camera is the one that does blocks the 
camera shutter speed. So I don't see how could I change that.

Ok.
It's a terrible pity that the software does not give us the option.
Nevertheless thank you very much for your answer and support!
All the best wishes!
