Commands; Images - CamRanger User Manual

• Image files can be very large and memory intensive. If the CamRanger app is having
stability issues, closing other apps running in the background or even power cycling the
iOS device will improve performance.

Commands

• Depending on the camera and the mode, capture can fail if the camera fails to acquire
focus.
• Intervalometer, Bulb, and Advanced BrackeLng sequence commands are stored on the
CamRanger hardware such that the iOS device does not need to remain on and
connected. However, this also means that any changes or acLons with the iOS device
during one of those advanced operaLons could result in failure or unexpected
outcomes.
• When an operaLon, command, or sejng is not available or not working the issue is
ofen related to the camera setup. For example:
o Toggling to AF is disabled if the camera lens switch is set to MF.
o Live view will fail on Canon cameras if Live View ShooLng is disabled in the
camera's menu.
o 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".
• AdjusLng or viewing the number of brackeLng 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 sLll correct it will just incorrectly display 3 shots.
• Some features are simply not supported by some cameras. For example conLnuous
capture mode is not supported on the Canon 40D and most Nikons do not support bulb
shots. See the camera capability matrix at www.CamRanger.com for more detailed
informaLon.
• If touch focusing does not work on a Canon camera, the likely cause is that the rear AF
buOon has been changed to some other funcLon and must be reset back to its default
AF behavior.

Images

• The thumbnails are not downloaded unLl afer the image has been recorded to the
camera's card. On most cameras this is relaLvely quick. However, depending on the
camera, speed of removable media, and number of shots taken in succession, there can
be a lag.
• The maximum sized image that can be viewed is dependent on the iOS hardware. For
example, the 1
cameras, but can handle medium sized images from most current cameras. The 3
GeneraLon iPad supports all image sizes for all supported cameras. Regardless, all image
formats and sizes can be downloaded to the user's iOS Photo library through the card
contents view.
• CamRanger can be used to view and download pictures captured through other means.
So a separate photographer could be capturing images, or a RF or light trigger could
capture images and the CamRanger app would automaLcally download the thumbnails.
