Developing apps for GH2 control and patch selection??
  • cp_from_ozcp_from_oz

    Can anyone advise if there are iphone/ipod apps for GH2 CAMERA CONTROL available or in development? (Not general cinematography apps)

    Possible suggestions below:

    -- Canon EOS can be remotely controlled for timelapse and exposure by "DSLR Controller" app shown in

    -- Wi-fi control of Arduino cheapo style focus motors? Variable ND control? [$1400 pro system example here:
    -- The minefield of patch selection could be simplified by an ever-updating app with drop-down options for the type of shoot you are doing??? -- User guide and warnings re "known issues" for various GH2 ISO's/patches/cam functions that can be searched by keyword? -- GH2 menu emulator so camera assistants can familiarise themselves before a shoot? Including a "game" where you have to set up cam for a particular shooting style?

    Please chime in if you have insight about how the app project can be done (or not?) ... maybe compile a wish list of app functions?

    Are there particular interface issues maybe with the USB port or something that might make it more difficult than for a Canon?

    Are there any app makers who might want to jam on these concepts and take it on as a bit of a project?

    No such app exist, and no will be.

    Canon always can be controlled as they have it implemented in camera.

    An Android app for the GH3 has been released ... allows wifi streaming, zooming, remote recording, mode selection, etc.
