In the V0.2.5 version I added the following for the Sony cameras that have wireless communication
exposure mode button – for models that don’t have an exposure mode dial
capture mode button – user can select with this button between still/movie mode
preview image size button – with this button the user can select the preview image size after capture. On a5100 it has the option original/2M
zoom in/out in live view
added LRTimelapse support
add touch AF to live view – after the user touches the live view surface the camera will try to focus at that point. Unfortunately Sony touchAF is a bit odd, as while it is in touchAF mode the properties can’t be changed, only the capture button will work. To exit the touchAF mode the user needs to press the ‘AF’ button.
Regarding the LRTimelapse support I did some testing (using the qDD interval timer) and it worked good for shutter speeds shorter then 1 second. Unfortunately on a5100 there is no option to disable the long exposure NR so a 8 second exposure becomes a 18 second one (with the processing).
Probably on the higher models it can be disabled so maybe someone can test it.
added a wakelock to Android when LRTimelapse is started (now it should work even if the screen goes off)
added focus points definition (works with Nikon and Canon – will see to make a tutorial)
changed the ‘Image viewer’ loading notification
added an option to disable image info download for images that are already on the camera SD card (you can still load them by pressing the ‘Refresh’ button in image gallery)
added a generic PTP class that should work with non Nikon and Canon DSLR that support PTP (I can’t test this as I only have a Nikon and Canon)
The V0.2.1 is almost a complete rewrite of the V0.1.7. Mostly I needed to do this so I can add Sony support (probably Lumix also in future) but also needed to rewrite the UI handling
New in this version
Audio initiated capture (will see to make a video how to use it)
Sony support (for now very basic)
Improved or changed:
image review will prioritize JPG files (in an upcoming version I will add an option that can override this and prioritize RAW files
if qDD enters the image viewer for an image review it will stay there until the user exits it and it will display the upcoming captured images (captured with the camera capture button)
gallery is now dynamically created and only the visible items are displayed/loaded
thumbs are created in a separate thread and only when needed (as soon the user exits the gallery all the scheduled thumbs are removed from queue)
added option to delete the created thumbs upon application exit
the is a live view record option that will record the live view during movie recording (currently does not work on Android)
UI is now dynamically loaded so should use less memory
The A/B focus is not yet implemented as need to rewrite it
This is a new version (V0.2) that I was doing in parallel to the V0.1.x and I rewrote most of it. New in this version is the Sony wireless support and the audio initiated capture.
The Sony support for now is very basic, live view, capture and changing the exposure properties. I will try to implement more in future versions (LrTimelapse module, more properties, movie recording on devices that support it)
Note: I’m sorry that I couldn’t offer it as free but currently I’m unemployed and need some income to pay my bills.
