Controls
--------
You can tap anything on screen that looks like a button to bring up a configuration dialog for that option. If an option is not available, it will not look like a button.
Additionally, after you have used an option, or you long-press said option, it will become highlighted. The highlighted option is configurable using the volume up and volume down buttons.
Tap the live view image to perform Auto Focus (if the lens is not set to Manual Focus). Tap-and-hold to move the zoom and focus area (red rectangle, availability depends on current focus mode)
The capture button works the same as the capture button on your camera, but it only does "deep" presses, not "half" presses. For example, in continuous or bulb shooting mode, tap-and-hold the capture button as long as you want to shoot.
Usage
-----
Install the app on your device, then connect your camera. A popup should ask you if you want to open DSLR Controller. Tap yes, and you should be in business.
BETA
----
There are various known issues in this BETA. The most common ones are communication errors and freezes - including the live view still working but buttons not responding. When such an issue occurs, we strongly advise disconnecting your camera, turning it off and on, rebooting your Android device, and only then trying again.

Future

There are many features on the to-do list. Including for example video support, timelapse, scripting, and image review and transfer.
Requirements
------------
- Android device with USB host support
- Canon EOS DSLR
- Correct USB host / OTG / On-The-Go cable for your device, if your device does not have a "full size" USB connector on it
Most Honeycomb TABLETS should be compatible. At the moment the only PHONE that is compatible is the Samsung Galaxy S2, with the 2.3.4 KG series firmware or newer.
DSLR controller has been tested with the following hardware:
- Samsung Galaxy S2, (KG1/2.3.4 firmware or newer), requires USB Host cable, eBay: "i9100 usb host"
- Motorola Xoom (you need the 3.2 update), requires USB Host cable, eBay: "xoom usb host"
- Acer Iconia A500, no special cable required
- Asus Transformer, no special cable required, connect to dock
- Toshiba Thrive, no special cable required
- Canon EOS:
GREAT: 550D, 60D, 600D, 7D
OK: 1D mk IV, 5D mk II, 50D
BAD: 40D, 400D, 450D
Working hard on compatibility!
