Full Version: Minimum interval - DDB vs EOS Remote

Hi folks,

Today, I made some tests:

Cameras - Canon 6D and 70D
Tablets - iPhone 5S and Galaxy Note 8.0
Software - EOS Remote via Camera WiFi and DDB via wired connection

I opted for RAW+S3 Jpeg

With DDB minimum interval where you can reliably change parameters on the camera is 6 seconds.

With EOS Remote minimum interval where you can reliably change parameters on the camera is 3 seconds.

For Auto HG with DDB the minimum interval is 8 seconds I guess... I have tested this indoors the other night, by reducing the amount of lights.

Question: Why DDB requires more time ? Is it because it keeps the camera busy by downloading a larger file from it ?

6-8 seconds can be too much for some cases...eg, if the clouds are moving fast or there are some other fast moving objects in the scenery.

Is there a way to minimize this duration ?

Thanks

The image download takes some time.
The new cross platform version will be faster.
Please can you try the new cross platform qDslrDashboard and see if it is faster then the previous Android only version.
