![]() ![]() If you try to connect to a Canon using a different connection setting (for example, the setting used for Canon's Camera Connect app, or for FieldMonitor running on a different iDevice), FieldMonitor may say “Camera refused connection.” You must set up different connections for different apps, and for different iDevices. Some cameras can only remember three sets of connections if you need more, you will need to re-use a set or sets. ![]() Some Canons will use these names automatically when a new connection is registered with others, you'll need to manually edit a “set” name to identify it properly. To keep track of the different connections, give each copy of FieldMonitor its own name, for example “FieldMonitor-SE” for a copy of FieldMonitor on an iPhone SE, and “FieldMonitor-Air” for FieldMonitor on an iPad Air. If you run Canon Camera Connect and FieldMonitor on the same iDevice at different times, that also counts as two connections. If you use FieldMonitor running on two different iDevices at different times, that’s two different connections. On some cameras, each connection is a “set” on others you “register a device for connection” or “add a device to connect to” when you first connect a remote app to the camera. simulation is set to Enable, otherwise what you see in live view willĬanons manage connections to different apps and/or devices individually. If you use FieldMonitor’s ‘scopes or false color to adjust still-photo exposure, make sure that Expo. simulation (photo modes only) determines whether the live-view image simulates the exposure you’ll get when you take a picture. Use the camera’s photo review only if you’re primarily working with the camera’s monitor and use that display for reviewing photos instead of FieldMonitor.) (FieldMonitor’s photo review is usually better than the camera’s photo review as the camera’s frozen live-view image doesn't exactly match the captured photo. You can unfreeze the image by tapping the AF or METER button, but it’s easier to work if the camera’s image doesn’t freeze. Photo Review Time turned on, the camera’s Image Review should be off, or set to a short time like 2 sec.: the camera’s live-view image will remain frozen for that time, even if FieldMonitor’s review finishes earlier. ![]() Image review (photo modes only) sets the camera’s photo review time. ![]() When the meter tuns off, floating value displays either disappear or revert to their fixed values (AUTO ISO, for example, or the preset value for exposure compensation when exposure compensation is adjustable). When the meter is active, you’ll see “floating” values change with the light, for example the aperture value in shutter-priority mode. Metering timer sets the length of time the camera’s exposure meter runs after pressing the camera’s shutter button or tapping AF or METER in FieldMonitor.Teradek H.264 transmitters, direct or via networkīefore connecting FieldMonitor to a Canon, check three settings in the camera’s SHOOT menu:.Sony “PC Remote” cameras, direct or via network.Sony “Smartphone Connect” cameras, direct.Sony “Ctrl w/ Smartphone” cameras, direct.Only Canons, Panasonics, “PC Remote” Sonys, and Teradeks connect via network. You can operate several sources on the same network and switch between them without having to change the network on your iDevice. Via Network allows greater range because the access point’s radios are more powerful, but you need to bring the access point on location and provide power to it. Via Network uses a separate Wi-Fi access point or router: you connect your source and your iDevice to the access point. It‘s easy, but camera radios are weak and limited in range and performance. You'll improve display performance and battery life and reduce interruptions from calls, messages, and notifications.ĭirect connects your iDevice to the source’s Wi-Fi radio directly. Tip: turn Airplane Mode on, then turn Wi-Fi back on. Rotate the camera’s image for vertical video work.Flip the image for mirrored / self-shooting mode, low-mode Steadicam, or 3D rig monitoring. ![]()
