Greetings,
Testing qDSLR on my Nexus 7 (2013) connected via USB to Nikon D600 triggered by Emotimo TB3.
Several times over the 1 hour sequence, the app stopped responding, and crashed. It's connected via USB to rule out any wifi-issues (as this was also happening while using the wu-1b). When I attempt to reestablish connection, the app launches with a black screen. I have to go to apps, and force the app to quit. Then I restart the Nexus, relaunch the app, relaunch LR function and then relaunch the Holy Grail...
So here's my question... other than "Why is it crashing, and what can I do?" is a more practical question...
What happens when qDSLR crashes during a Holy Grail sequence? I can't/won't stop the sequence - because there's no "redo" - so if I reestablish connection to qDSLR, and relaunch the LR Timelapse setting, and reinitialize the holy grail sequence, can I just pick up from the settings it sees at that moment? Does the Holy Grail sequence rely on settings set at the beginning of the sequence (pre-crash) to work? or can it work from a "current" setting - such as...
Sequence started at 1/250th at ISo 400. As the sun set, the exposure changed to 1/60th at ISo 400, then BANG, the app quits. I disconnect the USB, restart the Nexus 7, relaunch the app, restart LR setting, etc. and the exposure is where it left off - 1/60th ISo 400. This process takes about 1 minute, so it's not a total disaster if I'm there when it happens, but no beer or bathroom breaks for me... I still have to babysit the thing! So when it's reestablished, exposure of 1/60th ISo 400 is still fine - Do I just "continue" by starting a NEW Holy Grail sequence? (the counter resets to 0/1, the elapsed time resets to 0:00).
OR
Is all hope lost - and once quit, the sequence can't restart?
So, while it would be great to solve the "Why does it quit" question, it's more practical to explain the "Ok, it's quit, now here's what to do to save the shot".
THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE!! Only have 5 more chances to "master" this before my vacation starts...
