Commands; Images; Camranger Pt Hub And Tripod - CamRanger User Manual

Commands

• Depending on the camera and the mode, capture can fail if the camera fails to acquire focus.
• Intervalometer and Bulb commands are stored on the CamRanger hardware such that the
Windows computer does not need to remain on and connected.
• When an operaIon, command, or sehng is not available or not working the issue is ofen
related to the camera setup. For example:
• Toggling to AF is disabled if the camera lens switch is set to MF.
• Live view will fail on Canon cameras if Live View ShooIng is disabled in the camera's
menu.
• Capture fails because the removable media on the camera is full.
• For Canon cameras, the Live View focus mode within the camera's menu must be set to "Live
View".
• AdjusIng or viewing the number of brackeIng shots is not currently supported. The display
assumes three shots. However, if the number of shots is actually 2, 5, 7, 9, etc. the bracket
amount is sIll correct it will just incorrectly display 3 shots.
• Some features are simply not supported by some cameras. For example conInuous capture
mode is not supported on the Canon 40D and many older Nikons do not support bulb shots.
See the camera capability matrix at www.CamRanger.com for more detailed informaIon.
• If touch focusing does not work on a Canon camera, the likely cause is that the rear AF buKon
has been changed to some other funcIon and must be reset back to its default AF behavior.

Images

• The thumbnails are not downloaded unIl afer the image has been recorded to the camera's
card. On most cameras this is relaIvely quick. However, depending on the camera, speed of
removable media and number of shots taken in succession, there can be a lag.
• CamRanger can be used to view and download pictures captured through other means. So a
photographer could be capturing images, or a RF or light trigger could capture images and the
CamRanger applicaIon would automaIcally download the thumbnails.
• If shooIng to mulIple cards, ensure the playback card is set to the memory card of interest.
So if shooIng RAW to card one and JPG to card two and viewing the JPGs is desired, then set
the playback card to card number two.
