Description
Remote Release allows you to "remote release" your Canon EOS DSLR from your Android device with only a USB cable.
Wi-Fi support is also present, if your camera supports Wi-Fi or you are using a go-between like the MR3040 - see further details on the DSLR Controller website ( http://dslrcontroller.com/ ) on how to setup the Wi-Fi connection.
*** PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION ***
*** IF YOUR DEVICE IS NOT COMPATIBLE THIS IS NOT MY OR THE SOFTWARES FAULT - YOUR PHONE IS MISSING NEEDED SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE ! ***
Remote releasing is using a remote control to activate the shutter of the camera. This is to prevent shaking the camera, and is often used with bulb shots and/or tripods.
This app is the little (free) brother of DSLR Controller; see http://dslrcontroller.com/ and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.dslrcontroller
Remote Release also has a discussion thread on XDA-Developers.com: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369684
---- Features ----
- Activate the camera's shutter button from your phone over USB, just like using a remote release cable - Enable/Disable Auto-Focus * - Support for bulb shots (hold shutter button) * - Support for continuous shooting (hold shutter button) *
* Depends on camera model. Requires a DryOS based camera. See DSLR Controller's device compatibility page ( http://dslrcontroller.com/devices.php )
---- Requirements ----
- An Android device with an ARMv7-A or newer CPU architecture (virtually all 1ghz+ devices) - Supported Canon EOS DSLR
When connecting over USB: - Not rooted: Android 3.1 or higher with USB host kernel+API support ** - Rooted: Android 2.3.1 or higher with USB host kernel support ** - The correct USB adapter, if applicable
** USB host kernel support can usually be determined by connecting a USB stick to your device, and seeing if the device recognizes it.
---- Devices ----
Please see DSLR Controller's supported devices page ( http://dslrcontroller.com/devices.php ) for device compatibility information.
----- Usage -----
-- Getting started --
- Install the application. - Connect your camera to the phone/tablet, and turn it on. Half-press the shutter button if it was already on. - If a popup comes up that offers to open Remote Release, press it, and move on to "Operation" below. - If a popup does not come up, manually start Remote Release. A Superuser popup should appear, click allow. If this took more than a few seconds, Remote Release will complain it cannot find a camera, regardless if you have one connected or not. Exit the app, half-press the shutter button on the camera, then restart the app. - If a popup appears that tells you your device is not compatible, this is the end of the line for you.
-- Operation --
After you have connected your camera and started the app, the app will show you the following:
- Camera model - Current shutter setting (depending on camera mode) - Current aperture setting (depending on camera mode) - Current ISO setting (depending on camera mode) - Current drive mode setting
Below that you will see three buttons:
- Auto-Focus button - Shutter button - Button to open DSLR Controller in the Market
If your lens is set to Auto-Focus and you are using a DryOS based camera, you can use the Auto-Focus button to select if focusing is triggered by pressing the shutter button. By default it is, but it is not always desired. If your lens is set to Manual-Focus, this setting has no effect.
Pressing the shutter button will take a picture on your camera. If the camera is set to bulb mode or to continuous shooting, press-and-hold the shutter button - the bulb/continuous capture will stop once you remove your finger from the screen.

Worked a charm. I used a Pixel XL, with the supplied USB C to USB A adaptor, into the mini USB socket on my Canon D60.
★★★★★
works on my Canon 5D mark ii and Sony Xperia T2 with Lollipop Android OS. First time it doesnt work but i resolve the problem by changing the USB cable to my camera, looks like the cheap one is not work or maybe not compatible
★★★★★
Works well. I tried it out with my Huawei P10 with A MICRO USB OTG and MICRO USB to USB C adapter into Canon 650D and it worked! Had to try a couple of different OTG cables (I had anyway). Super happy. Many thanks!

Nexus 7 (2013) won't work! I've read other reviews about the Nexus 7 not recognizing the camera. I'm really sad about this because I really wanted this to work, but I guess the rumors are true. If you have a nexus 7 or Nexus 7 2013, beware. The only thing the developers stated was that it was the devices fault. This is a major bug and I like to see some movement to have it fixed
★★☆☆☆
Samsung galaxy S7 & Canon 7D Mk II wifi. connection possible via wifi. All of camera buttons disabled just the shutter release on phone is active. probably some SW bug still there.
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't work. It detects my camera, but it tells me to turn my camera on / off and reconnect then restart the app. It detects it again and does the same thing. Either that or the screen just stays black.
★★☆☆☆
Bulb mode doesn't work. Even if the shutter is set to Bulb mode on canon 600d, the photo is taken in normal shutter. The app is installed on moto-G. Everything else works fine except for bulb mode.
