| p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Options for Reliably controlling camera settings remotely | |
I am needing to control camera settings remotely in the near future. I fully understand the benefits of a camrangerer, but was hoping to discuss other options, especially with the release of the d750 with built in wifi.
What are my options if I were to purchase a d750? From what I can gather, you download the nikon app, then you can simply control the shutter and view the camera's screen on your device. I want to be able to control settings like shutter speed though. Is it highly likey nikon will write an app soon with more functionality?
I also read this from the nikon website....
"For faster wireless transfers, transmit images over FTP using the WT-5A Wireless Transmitter + UT-1 Communication Unit. (Advanced shooters can use a web browser on a smartphone or tablet in HTTP mode to operate camera controls and begin Live View shooting.)"
Yet those units look like they are around 1000 dollars. Is that part in the parenthesis referring to those transmitter and communication units though? I think so. I don't care at all about transferring images anywhere except for live view on the device.
I also read about the free dslr dashboard, but it may not be reliable enough for my needs was my concern, that's why I'm more interested in a nikon based option. Is camranger, or these other expensive nikon units my only hope to control camera settings remotely?
Any advice or options appreciated.
