Control a Wireless Camera
I believe that it won’t be long before most cameras will incorporate some
sort of wireless control. I’m happy to report that manufacturers have
started building Wi-Fi connectivity into their cameras
(4.6). The apps vary
in their capabilities, but mostly they offer the same shooting features
described earlier in this chapter. They also take advantage of the iPad’s
sensors, such as pulling location data and applying it to photos on the
camera’s memory card.
4.6 The FujiFilm
Camera Remote app
establishes a live link
to the camera (a Fuji
XT-1, in this case).
Control Another iOS Device
I’ve focused on controlling a DSLR so far in this chapter, but if you own an
iPhone (or iPod touch, or another iPad), you already have a pretty good
camera available. Blux Camera for iPad, which I mentioned in Chapter 1,
has a companion app, called Blux Lens, that enables the iPhone to be a
remote camera. As long as both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network,
Blux Lens becomes the camera and the iPad acts as the controller.
Choose one to act as the camera and one to act as the remote, and you
can then fire the shutter; lock focus, exposure, and white balance; and set
a timer. And, of course, it offers a range of filters to change the look of the
captured photo.
