The app shows the basic cameia settings on the backgiounu of the scieen, such as IS0, White
Balance, Shuttei Speeu, anu Apeituie. Cameia settings can be changeu wiielessly fiom the app.

Foi example to change the IS0 setting on the cameia fiom the app (cameia in manual moue)

1. Click oi tap on the IS0 button in the tool bai.
- The app will wiielessly iequest a list of available IS0 settings fiom the cameia (you will
biiefly see the busy box uuiing this time). The app then uisplays the list of available IS0
settings it ieceiveu fiom the cameia.
2. Select the uesiieu IS0 setting fiom the list by tapping oi clicking on it. The app will then
wiielessly iequest the cameia to change to the selecteu IS0 setting.

You can change othei cameia settings such as white balance, shuttei speeu, anu apeituie, the same
way by clicking on the coiiesponuing buttons fiom the toolbai. The toolbai buttons give quick
access to the most often-useu basic cameia settings.

If a setting is changeu at the cameia itself, eithei manually by a usei at the cameia, oi changeu by
the cameia itself (because of automatic moue), aftei a few seconus the app will automatically
upuate its uisplay to show the new setting without you uoing anything.

)<AQP3:J3 JQ3^2 In ceitain moues, the cameia will not allow some settings to be changeu fiom
the app. Foi example if the cameia is in fully automatic moue, anu you tiy to change the shuttei
speeu foi example, the cameia may ieject the change anu the app will uisplay an eiioi. Similaily
othei cameia moues such as shuttei piioiity oi apeituie piioiity, foi example, the cameia may not
allow you to change ceitain settings in those moues. The app can only iequest the cameia to change
the setting, but the cameia has the final say as to weathei it allows you to change a paiticulai
setting at a paiticulai time oi a paiticulai cameia moue.

If you aie an auvanceu usei anu want to change cameia settings othei than the basic ones (IS0, WB,
Shuttei Speeu, Apeituie), click oi tap on the "Settings on cameia" icon. This will iequest anu uisplay
all cameia settings soiteu by categoiy. As mentioneu befoie, some cameias like an auvanceu Nikon
has maybe ovei Suu settings, anu will take a few seconus to uownloau fiom the cameia.

)<AQP3:J3 JQ3^2 When all the cameia settings aie uisplayeu, its veiy easy to click aiounu
exploiing anu changing settings ianuomly. Since the settings aie "live" meaning any changes maue
on the app, aie instantly changeu wiielessly on the actual cameia as well. So clicking aiounu anu
ianuomly changing settings can easily change lots of settings in youi cameia leaving it in an
unknown state (since you may not iemembei what you ianuomly changeu). ueneially, only
auvanceu useis who know exactly what they aie uoing shoulu use this menu.

Some items in the auvanceu cameia settings menu aie foi infoimation only anu cannot be changeu.
Foi example if you tiy to change the setting foi "type of lens" connecteu to the cameia fiom the app,
the cameia will ieject this anu the app will uisplay an eiioi, similaily many othei settings aie foi
infoimation puiposes only.

The app initially is set up so that as you shoot, the images aie automatically uploaueu wiielessly
fiom the cameia, stoieu, anu uisplayeu inthe app. You can shoot fiom the cameia itself oi the app.

To shoot fiom the cameia, simple piess the shuttei button on the cameia itself as you noimally uo,
each pictuie taken will be automatically uploaueu wiielessly anu uisplayeu in the app. This is useful
in a photo shoot wheie the photogiaphei shoots fiom the cameia, anu clients can watch the full
iesolution images appeaiing on a laige NAC monitoi oi on an iPau.

While shooting fiom the cameia, it is not necessaiy to wait until each image is uploaueu befoie
taking anothei pictuie, you can keep taking multiple shots anytime you want, anu the images will be
queueu up anu uploaueu to the app in the backgiounu while you keep shooting.

To shoot wiielessly fiom the app, click oi tap the "Captuie Image" button fiom the tool bai. The
image will again be uploaueu anu shown in the app.

As the images aie uploaueu anu stoieu on the uevice (iPhone, iPau, NAC, Anuioiu, PC etc), you can

Foi example, you aie a photogiaphei with many clients thioughout the uay, as you go to each client,
you can specify a new album to stoie all photos taken foi that client.

To specify an album, tap oi click on the App Settings button in the toolbai, then scioll uown to

If the Native viueo iecoiuing is not suppoiteu foi youi cameia, oi the app, oi youi cameia uoesn't

Each tiiggei channel is numbeieu fiom u to S (4 channels total). Each channel has an analog input
anu a uigital output.

When a channel is enableu (using the app) the haiuwaie constantly watches the voltage at the
analog input. When the voltage ciosses the thiesholu, it geneiates a tiiggei signal at the
coiiesponuing uigital output, which can be useu to tiiggei a flash oi cameia oi anything else.

The analog input voltage is conveiteu to a uigital value between u anu 2SS. Wheie u coiiesponus to
u volts, anu 2SS coiiesponus to the maximum voltage of S-Sv. All othei values coiiesponu to
voltages in the miuule between u to Sv.

Rathei than using the actual voltages, the app uses the conveiteu uigital values to set the thiesholu
tiiggei levels.

So foi example if the thiesholu weie set to 128 (half way between u anu 2SS), this woulu have an
equivalent thiesholu voltage of 1.Sv (half way between u anu Sv)

!:PJ)JZ: The maximum voltage that can be applieu to the analog input is S to S v, if you apply a
