CamRanger Sharing
In order for the CamRanger Share feature to work, the CamRanger firmware must be
updated to version 6 and up and the CamRanger software must be updated to the
most recent version. When the photographer is in a CamRanger session, others can
view images and live view on their personal iOS devices, Android devices, and/or Mac
or Windows computer. The CamRanger Share application is free and can be
downloaded from
www.CamRanger.com/downloads
. Individuals using the CamRanger Share
app can only view images and live view when the CamRanger is connected and the main
CamRanger user has enables sharing from within the settings.
The Mac Share settings, as seen below, can be accessed by selecting “CamRanger” from the
Mac menu bar followed by “Preferences.”
• Enable Sharing: When viewing an image in the main image view, individual images can
be shared by enabling sharing in the CamRanger Settings and then selecting “Share”
from the File drop down. One must Enable Sharing in order for the Auto Sharing, Auto
Share Thumbnails, and Share Live View settings to work.
• Auto Share Images: Any images viewed on the main screen by the CamRanger user will
be shared to the CamRanger Share user.
• Auto Share Thumbnails: All images captured will display as thumbnails on the
CamRanger Share devices when Auto Share Thumbnails is enabled. The CamRanger
Share user can scroll through the pictures at his or her own pace.
• Share Live View: The CamRanger share user will be able to see the camera’s live view on
their personal device when Share Live View is enabled. If an image thumbnail is not
viewed by the CamRanger user in the main image view, it will not be shared to the
CamRanger Share app users.
• Show Clients: The CamRanger user can see what devices are using the CamRanger Share
application during the CamRanger session.
Note that the watermark settings on the main CamRanger app will be set on all sharing devices.
Assuming that all devices have a good connection with the CamRanger, as the number of users
increase, the performance decreases slightly; adding 1 second per shared device for each small
JPG that is distributed is a good rule of thumb. Similarly, sharing live view with an additional 1
or 2 devices will not significantly degrade performance, but as more devices are added the
frame rate will reduce. Additionally, a device with a very poor/slow connection can degrade
the performance for everyone. The photographer using the CamRanger app can always
