COMPATIBILITY:
Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Requires iOS 4.3 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.
DSLR.Bot
Please read carefully as there are some hardware requirements and limitations when using the app.

Control your DSLR camera from your iPhone or iPad with five different modes of operation. Shoot, Long Exposure, Time Lapse, HDR Bracketing and Movie Mode. DSLR.Bot also has a GPS logging feature for geo-tagging your photos. This app requires an infrared transmitter to control the camera functions.

Please visit www.dslrbot.com to check the compatibility of your camera. The DSLR.Bot Infrared Transmitter is also available for purchase from the website as well as DIY instructions to create your own.

Warning for the iPhone and iPod Touch devices purchased in the European region. There is a Volume Limit Cap applied to these devices which may severely affect the performance of the IR transmitter and in some cases will not work. Unless you are familiar with a workaround to this Cap, please proceed at ones own discretion.

What's new in Version 5
Update v5.0

Cable release now has a wake up function in the settings menu. This lets you send a signal to the camera to wake up the device before the shot is fired. This lets you conserve your camera's battery if you have a 'Auto Power Off' set on your camera.

With cable mode the speed of Long Exposures and HDR Bracketing have been increased to 1/13(0.77 seconds), which is still relatively slow in comparison to the raw speed of a DSLR. This is a hardware limitation of the camera using a cable release  to trigger the camera in bulb mode.

Timelapse:
- "Script" button opens up a list of scripts that you can use to program the app to trigger the camera at specific times.
- To edit a script you can press the side arrow button. The format used for the script is Date:YYYY:MM:DD Time:HH:MM:SS Bulb:SS' For example, to shoot on the 1st of January 2012 at 1:30pm the script should be written as 'Date:2012:01:01 Time:13:30:00 Bulb:0'.
- If you wish to use a timed long exposure you must set the camera to bulb and give the 'Bulb:0' a value in seconds. For example to shoot on the 2nd of January 2012 at 4:15pm with a 5 second long exposure the script should be written as 'Date:2012:01:02 Time:16:15:00 Bulb:5'.
- Scripts can be deleted with a swipe. New scripts can be added using the "+" button. When in editing a script its name can be changed using the text box displaying the script name. You must press save to retain the changes of the script name and the script edits.
- There are two ways to add scripts from outside of the app, you can copy and paste the script directly into the editor, or you can save a text document containing the script into iTunes Document directory for DSLR.Bot. To do this you must open up iTunes and select your iOS device then proceed to the apps tab. Scroll to the bottom of the page and browse the list of apps under 'Document Directory', select DSLR.Bot and then drag the text file to the box just to the left of the list.
