About DSLR Remote

1. If you are not using a device with a supported built-in IR sender (see below) all you need is a small, inexpensive and easy to build hardware, which is then connected to the ear phone jack of your smartphone (and a commercially available Bluetooth stereo headset if you want remote control via Bluetooth).

2. Whether via infrared, by wire or via Bluetooth, DSLR Remote enables you to take timer controlled exposure series (e. g. for time lapse), long time exposures or exposure sequences in the context of High Dynamik Range photography.

3. With integration of the Android 4. 4. 2 (Kitkat) IR API DSLR Remote should work with all devices with a built-in IR Blaster supported by the Kitkat IR API.

4. Please use a IR dongle or cable release hardware as described on the DSLR Remote website.

5. Please use a IR dongle or cable release hardware as described on the DSLR Remote website.

6. Let your smartphone in combination with DSLR Remote be a remote control, a timer or a HDR controller for your digital reflex camera.

7. So, make sure to switch your device into normal (non-power saving) mode before using DSLR Remote.

8. Unfortunately, doesn't the Sony native IR API provide the feature needed by any remote app like DSLR Remote, as is deploying its own IR codes as data with the app.

9. Caution: a few smartphone types do not output high enough volume on their ear phone jack to make the infrared harware work properly.

10. DSLR Remote can't do anything about that!

11. There seems to be a bug in some/all Samsung devices: in power saving mode the IR blaster doesn't work correctly!

DSLR Remote Customer Insights

1. i installed at my xiaomi mi A4, changed app camera to nikon, set my nikon d3400 release mode to delayed remote or quick response remote, went to 'remote' in this app, pressed 'S' button, and this app worked instantly as long as you point your smart phone to the camera's infra red sensor.Brilliant. I've got a Nikon D3400, the app is allowing me to do time lapse and all sorts of other stuff.

2. Includes simple remote options (that should probably be integrated in the camera to begin with) as well as a suite of triggers that take advantage of a smart phone's camera and microphone sensors.

3. I also have a wired shutter but this is excellent when traveling light!Everything I want in a camera remote.

4. Was planning on building an Arduino based time lapse remote for an old Sony, but this clever app does it easily.

5. This app just screams an irritating loud noise which doesn't stop till you close the app.Awesome. Simple and easy to understand interface.Works perfectly with my Nikon d3300.

6. Don't forget to enable remote control on the camera first.

7. I have a proprietary IR device (battery always low) and 2 wired remotes and the camera has WiFi control but I still find it easier to use this appWOW.

8. Is there any way you (developers) could get the app to trigger a flash from our phone when the shutter goes off like a wireless flash?Not enough detail about how BT to BT would work .

9. Really nice to have a remote shutter on your phone.

10. Free version works for a single Pentax camera by IR by the looks of it.

11. This app rocks! It's definitely old and outdated but why fix something that's not broken? I can confirm that it works with the sony a6500 (probably the whole alpha range).
