[2017.08.02] DSLR Controller v1.05

That seems to work as long as I take the picture from the tablet, but if I take it from the camera, follow shot doesn't appear. Son has decided I have played with this enough for now, so will try again later. Thank you both for the help! Will watch the posted YouTube video soon as I get a chance.

In Image Review - Follow Shot mode, it is impossible to take a photo with the tablet. I don't fully understand what you are doing. Open DSLR Controller, press the menu button, select Image Review - Follow Shot, select your viewing mode (Fullscreen for me)... profit.

From here, your camera should exit live view/mirror lockup mode, and be free for operation. The tablet should just show a blank screen until you take your first photo. Take a shot, wait a second or two, and it will show on the tablet. Take another shot, and it should replace the first image. You should be able to zoom in/out on the tablet as in any image viewer, and it should continue to update as you take more shots.

i totally said the wrong thing before, but I still need to go back and try to get this follow shot working. I did manage to find my way there, and all I ever saw was the black screen. Did not ever load a photo after taking a shot from camera. I'll go back and fiddle with that again, try to get it working. thanks again!

One last note, this does require you to shoot in either Jpeg or RAW+Jpeg, I'm almost certain of that.

I don't think that's even possible (as in: the in-camera firmware does not support shutting off the LCD screen during recording - regardless of what you send over USB)

That's the stupidest thing I wouldn't expect from Canon. Why would I need a liveview on camera, if I have it on PC/android. I hope the Magic Lantern solves this one day :\

Well, it does actually state in the menu - you know, the place where you need to put your finger to start follow shot mode - that it requires JPG.

If you're wondering why - the transfer time of the RAWs may interfere with the shooting if you're shooting really rapidly (like holding down the button in continuous mode for 30 seconds or so)... if you don't care about the JPGs at all, I'd shoot in RAW + small JPG. For quick review small JPG is usually more than enough quality and they transfer really fast so chances of interfering with capture are pretty much non-existant. Don't get me wrong, shooting in large JPG does not actually have a high chance of interfering, but faster isy better.

I shoot little kids mostly and will be glad to do away with them

Imagine somebody read that without context.
