I could see myself in a scenic spot, with camera on a tripod, me sitting next to it, huddled under a drop cloth with an iPad.

He would need to build a hardware data interface for iOS devices, and he does not have the resources to do it.īut this could be a killer app for landscape shooters who want to tweak the absolute max image quality out of a D800.
#NIKON CAMERA CONTROL PRO IPAD MAC OS X#
The author of Sofortbild says that he can not just port his code from Mac OS X to iOS. Is there any product that works like this on an iPad? The images are downloaded to the iPad (or maybe only JPEG copies, if I'm shooting RAW), and I examine them on the high res screen. Tap other controls to set params of a bracketed sequence for HDR. Tap menus and buttons on the screen to set exposure and white balance params. Zoom in on a region of the image, tap on it to focus there. The camera's sensor image appears on the iPad screen. Tap a button on the iPad screen, and camera goes into Live View mode.

What I would really like to do is something like this:Ĭamera is set up on a tripod, communicating with an iPad via cable or wireless link. I know that laptops can do this, with software like Nikon Control or Sofortbild. I've never had one myself, and I'm curious to know if these devices can be used for tethered shooting, with control functions. The latest model, with its high-res screen is going to be even more attractive. IPads are already popular as an accessory for previewing shots in the field or studio.
