some cameras, advanced modes such as remote or timer will behave
as single capture mode.
o Continuous capture mode differs between Nikon and Canon.
§
Nikon: After selecting a continuous drive mode a picker is
displayed allowing the user to select the number of images to
capture. When the Capture button is pressed, that number of
images will be captured.
§
Canon: When in a continuous mode, pressing and holding the
Capture button behaves in the same way as pushing the
physical trigger on the camera.
o It is noted that there can be a very slight lag between the pressing of
the “Capture” button and the image capture. The delay can be more
pronounced while live view is active. For time critical applications, a
remote trigger, such as an RF trigger, can be used in combination with
the CamRanger.
• Live View
o The “Live View” toggle button is used to turn live view on and off.
o When live view is on, the main image view is updated with live view
images as well as updating the RGB histogram in the Data tab if the
live view histogram is turned on.
o Note: running live view is relatively intensive and there may be slight
performance lags in other areas.
• Movie Mode
o The “Movie Mode” toggle button is used to turn live view on and off,
but within movie mode.
o When movie mode is on, the main image view is updated with the live
images.
o The “Capture” button changes to “Record” and pressing the “Record”
button will start and then stop the recording of a movie.
o Note: movies cannot be downloaded to the Android device.
• Auto / Manual Focus Toggle
o The AF/MF Focus toggle button allows the user to change the focusing
between auto and manual without having to physically adjust the
camera.
o This AF/MF adjustment is not possible for all cameras in all modes.
For example, some Nikon cameras are required to be connected in
“PC” mode.
o After any touch or incremental focusing while in live view, the focus
mode will automatically attempt to switch to manual focus such that
the user specified focus is not override by auto focus upon capture
