D7000 software

[moshiaph]

Helicon Remote shows the D7000 , but only the focus work and not very good.
No control on other camera settings like f-stop on iso value.
Is there a update on this ?

Are you able to control camera with Nikon Remote software?

Hi,

I use the D7000 and it works some times and some times not:
I use it with the following setting: D7000 firmware A1.01 B1.01 L 1.002, AF-S mikro Nikkor 105 mm, MacBool Pro, HeliconRemote 2.0.14

I found that:

# remote must be started first, than connecting the camera will initialize the camera, after closing the life view mode (manually or by the camera) remote will not recognize the camera any more, and you have to close remote and start again
# Autofocus must be set on (both camera and lens)
# Exposure must be set on manual
# Camera must be set on single picture
# all controls are working fine

# starting pictures some times works fine, and all proposed pictures are running through, sometimes only one picture is made, sometimes more. I did not find any rule for that.

I hope that helps

I can only ajust the focus from the Remote program side.
No other camera settings can be ajusted from the program side.
Taking more than 9 fotos and the program freezes up in auto mode( out of 13 it would take 4 pictures and the just stop) and do not go over to the focus program bloc asking if I woant to open the focus program, Manualy I can take as many fotos as I want on then open in focus program. Less than 9 fotos work 100%
Yours,
Jan

Also D3, remote shows initializing Nikon camera and than shows no camera detected
I have sent the bug reports by mail

So no way to test on MAC

Hi Stas

This version is working perfect!

I made several tests, and all have been perfect, also the rendering in hf-pro, nearly no retouching was necessary.

So until here, for the D7000 really nice, good work thank you!

Very intuitive the locking symbol for nearest and most furthest point!



Well on my wishlist:

If the D7000 stops the life-view you have to quit remote and start again. A possibility to reconnect would be nice, if possible!

When hf-pro is already running and loaded with pictures, and your answer is yes in remote to see the new series of pictures in hf-pro, you have to quit hf-pro first, and than answer with yes, otherwise hf-pro indicates that a second running is not possible and quits.

So a warning for this situation would be helpful.

So if you want me to test special situations, just send me E-mail and I try to test it.

Florian,

Please make this trick with turning live view on and off and report us a bug with a log. Your others comments are added to our to-do list. Thanks for testing and commenting.

Hi Stas,

thats working fine:

If the D7000 stops life view, just hit the button, and the D7000 starts again.

Nice!

Great, we made some changes and it looks like it helped.

Sorry, I just don't get it - my D7000 is NOT working. I can put the Autofocus off or on, I just can't make the focus moving. Having firmware A 1.02, B 1.02 1.002 I can click on each on the arrows, nothing happens. Otherwise I do have the same setting as Florian.
