Haven't used the 6DII this way since I mainly use it for GPS data and the 6DII has built in GPS. Some of my cameras are kind of fiddly establishing bluetooth.

Helicon focus eos r Bluetooth#

The 6DII has bluetooth and wifi and will maintain a low power bluetooth connection to bootstrap to wifi when desired. Thanks Amacal for re-pointing out those apps. In practice, it's very easy and reliable. I press the button in the app and it turns on the camera's wifi and connects to it. It recognizes that my camera is nearby, is on, and is ready to connect to WiFi. I open the app, which has already used Bluetooth to connect to the camera. It's controlled by Bluetooth and the phone initiates the wifi connection to the camera and not the other way around. It does let you to step the focus, but it does not automate the process or allow bracketing.Īs a side note, I don't know about the 6DII, but the R is waaaayyyyy easier to connect to WiFi than the original 6D. I missed the tips of his front legs because I didn't capture enough frames.

I used the DPP software to merge them and even though I can't stand to us DPP, it seems to work flawlessly so far. Now on my 90D it's built in and seems to work amazingly well once you get the hang of it and figure out how many steps and how far between them. My Camera always wants to connect to my home Wifi rather than to my phone. It takes longer to get it to connect properly than it does to take the stacked frames. I've used Canons app called 'Camera Connect' via WiFi before on my 6DII with varying success. They just haven't been updated to work with the R, for some reason.

The two apps I mentioned will do this, and presumably through wifi. What is Canon EOS Focus Bracketing When enabled, the focus bracketing feature instructs the camera to take a series of pictures with the lens focus distance. The M6II is pretty good at it but I'd like to automate the process with a FF body and lenses. It works really well to send a set of processed images from Lightroom to Photoshop as layers and then let PS align and merge the layers. In this work, Helicon Focus software was used to. I've been experimenting with stacking for the last year or so. Images were captured with a full-frame Canon 5DS R 5043 megapixel. The 3D viewer supports almost all microscopic observation methods bright field. The object is displayed in a box, where it can be rotated and observed from any angle.

Helicon’s 3D viewer utility, which is included into the Helicon Focus installation, is designed to visualise 3D models. If such an app exists, it should work on the 5D4 as well as the R. The video above shows how a 3D model is created. I would love an app that would work with my D bodies that have wifi capability. Good question! I bought the M6II and focus stacking was one of the motivations. Granted, I only tried those apps using WiFi, and not via USB.ĭoes anyone use an app or have some other solution for automated focus bracketing with the EOS R? My question is, does anyone know of a mobile app that can intelligently drive focus stacking? Helicon mobile app doesn't appear that support the R yet. Canon is being very Canon-like with the R, and it seems like they really won't bring the focus bracketing feature of the RP into the R via firmware update.
