Title: ML EOS iPhone & Android Wifi app :D
Post by: nchant on October 19, 2013, 01:33:20 AM
This is just a dream, but worth putting it out there.

The current EOS Wifi app is fantastic on my 6D, but the features are bare minimal.
It would be bloody awesome if ML created a similar app, but with more functions like auto Bulb timer, intervalometer, video etc etc?

I would download the app straight away, even if it costs $50 to download!

What would the possibility be for this?

:)

The first thing someone would have to do is to reverse engineer the protocol used between the app and the camera - this is a very difficult and lengthy process, but I also hope that someone does it sooner or later.

Question is: Is the protocol very limited and maxed out with the Canon app, or could ML use it to control all other aspects of the camera remotely (including ML of course) and get the killer features like focus peaking on the controlling phone/table?

Can you check "DSLR Controller" from Google Play? It is a wonderful app, but I can't tell you if the app will work with ML...I need the 1.2.1 firmware for my 5D Mark III...and the ML will work only with 1.1.3...
