Mic button as iPhone camera remote

Just as the mic button pauses music when the music is on,
Wouldn't it be cool if the mic button took pictures on the cam.
That way you could take photo of yourself easily and not rock
the device as the photo is taken.
Just sayin

I think that would be a great idea. Even taking pix of other people, it would be easier to hold the phone steady.

  • How to use headphones as iPhone camera remote

    How do I use my headphones as iPhone camera remote.

    You simply plug your headphones into the device, then launch the camera app. Once you've got your shot set up, press the volume up or down buttons on your headphones.

  • Phottix Ares won't trigger my off camera 430 ex II when using iPhone EOS remote app!

    I have a Canon 6D, a canon 430ex II and a set of Phottix Ares transmitter and receiver. I have set up my flash off camera and was planning to use the camera’s wifi capability to take a self portrait with my iPhone EOS remote app, but the flash wouldn't fire at all. When I turned off the app and phisically pressed the shutter it worked but never through the app. Then I thought of mounting the 430 directly onto the camera, used the remote app to shoot wirelessly and I was surprised that it worked!!! I coudn't find the logic behind this and I tried to find an answer everywhere with no hope!
    Has anyone gone through tha same experience or have any explanation or solution to this problem? or any alternative solution to get the flash to trigger while shooting wirelessly? thanks.
    [Mod note: Moved to "EOS" because issue seems to be with the EOS App. You'll get more exposure here!]
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you are shooting using Live View (through the app) it won't fire the flashes like that.  But if you just use the app to release the shutter and review the pics it will.  It's been awhile since I've used the app, but there's a button or something to go between live view and standard shooting.
    That said, I've read that some cameras can work around this by going into the menu and disabling silent shooting, and then Live View will work with simple triggers.  I've never done it as I don't shoot in live view, but I've seen this discussed a lot.  Not sure if the same can be said for the app, but it's worth a shot (no pun intended).

    Accidental damage is not covered under the warranty but if possible to reset the screen without causing additional damage, the Apple Store should do this without charging for it.

  • Trouble connecting iPhone to remote  IP Panasonic cameras- Ports issues

    Cannot connect remotely to camera DVR with the iPhone due to Java Applet issues not supported by Apple. I also cannot connect to the home panasonic IP cameras because the error "Not allowed to use restricted network port" appears. In order to connect to the cameras remotely I must enter the port number after the local IP address, and is not allowing me to do that. Any expert out there? Example of a connecting address: http;// 95.242.228.177:80 (80 being the port).

    Are you using a specific application to connect or trying to go through Safari?
    You may need to use an app that connects to IP cameras.
    You can search the app store and search "video camera" or "webcam"

  • How can i remote iphone camera from macbook?

    I am trying set up photoshoot using iphone and macbook. How can i remote iphone camera from macbook? Thanks

    Not possible.

  • I think the MENU button of my apple remote is broken. No infrared signal.

    I think the MENU button of my apple remote is broken. All other button works perfectly except for the menu button. I used a digital camera to test the infrared signal from the remote, all other buttons emit infrared except the menu button. What can I do? Out of warranty already. Is it time to throw it away? If its a hardware issue, can I fix it? Or are apple remotes disposable?
    The remote is only seldom used so I dont know what caused the menu button to break. Please help. I hope I won't need to buy a new remote.
    TIA.

    Sounds as though it is broken if you've tested for the IR signal.
    I have several white/grey remotes - some of the white ones have buttons that barely work and require very firm pressure to actuate.  I think they do tend to wear out to be honest but others have no issues.
    I actually prefer the older white remotes to the grey ones which seem to have less range and a narrower usable angle.
    If you have an iPhone/iPad there's a free Remote app you could use provided you can use provided you can access Setting if you need to.
    Apple sell the remotes quite cheaply, though you could also consider a multi-function remote or train AppleTV to use a different remote.

  • Shooting with 2 iPhone cameras

    Hi,
    I am a musician and I want to make some music videos of me playing the drums. The idea I had was to set up 2 iPhones and then control the cameras remotely from my mac (this would let me get multiple camera angles in one take).
    By doing this, I could ensure that both the cameras roll at the same time so I don't have to get up and manually set them recording. It will also ensure that the shooting is synced up correctly without too much work in post production.
    Does anyone know of an app or a method of doing this? Or, will it just have to be the old school method of setting each one to roll and then spend a while editing it up afterwards?
    Bit lazy, but it would be great to have this option if it is available... Or if there are any devs out there - I would definitely buy this!
    Thanks
    @Torkerz

    Just to clarify things...
    I was able to get a 15$/month voice-only prepaid plan that I added to my iPhone 4 (at least something good out of paying high price to buy the device already unlocked directly from Apple).
    After inserting the MicroSIM in, nothing had changed. However, a couple mins later, the Facetime button suddently appeared in my contacts list. There's no registration or setting to play with at all.
    Initiating the Facetime call won't send a voice call, nor does it send a SMS: my account on my provider's website still shows "0 mins, 0 secs, and 0 text messages" used, and I initiated/received a dozen Facetime calls so far. I know Facetime uses WiFi, but I was wondering if it would count as a quick voice call, SMS or something, to establish connection until it switches to WiFi. I confirm it doesn't.
    However, people still do need to use my phone number to send me a Facetime call (it won't work if they try using my email). It's also my phone number that showed on their screen when I called them for the first time (they didn't have my number yet in their contacts list) so Facetime is really bound to your phone number on the iPhone, and there's nothing you can do about it
    Also, if I remove the MicroSIM card, the Facetime icon disappear so don't count on borrowing a friend's MicroSIM for a sec, to activate Facetime on your device and then remove the card, hoping it will still work email-based. It won't.
    It still suck that you are forced to pay a monthly fee only to have a phone number attached to the iPhone so you can use Facetime, while it works email-based on cheaper devices Apple should make that Facetime app (the one they use on iPod Touch 4G) appear if no carrier is detected so you still can use Facetime email-based.
    Hope this helps.

  • My iphone came up with that timing circle and just turned off and did not come back on ? even when i charge it now it still wont turn on ,do you know the problem?

    my iphone came up with that timing circle and just turned off and did not come back on ? even when i charge it now it still wont turn on ,do you know the problem?

    If the battery was empty (and it may then take 10 to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • Is the only way to zoom on iphone camera to pinch and spread the screen?

    Hi there - was at a concert and was impossible to zoom the camera in on the stage using the whole finger spread action (as kept getting knocked etc) - is there a manual way (using buttons to do this) or am I stuck with this modern but not always pracitical method...or does anyone else have any tips for taking good photos at a concert using the iphone camera?

  • Mic Button Doesn't work

    I just got the new iPhone 16GB Black today, and I plug in the buds that come with the iPhone, and I click the mic button to pause a song, and nothing happens, and when somoene calls I press it and yet again nothing happened, any suggestions?

    Unplug the headphone jack and plug it in about 10 times. This will reset the jack and hopefully fix your problem.

  • IPhoto Not Deleting iPhone Camera Pictures

    When I connect my iPhone to my Mac, iPhoto launches and offers to import the pictures for me. (I want this behavior). It then asks what to do with duplicates, and I tell it don't import duplicates. After the photos have been imported, it offers to delete the photos on my iPhone...I tell it "Yes"...but it doesn't delete them.
    Do I have to delete camera roll photos manually on my iPhone?

    Hi,
    Not sure if this will help but this is what I did.
    1) If you have synched and transferred your iPhone camera roll photo's to your Mac and did not select the iPhoto option to delete the originals off the iPhone as part of transfer process, then you like me, now have two sets of photo's: the originals on the iPhone and the identical photos transferred into iPhoto.
    2) As I took more iPhone photo's and did additional synchs/transfers to iPhoto, unless I choose to "delete originals" as part of the iPhoto transfer, I continued to have more and more images left on my iPhone. I was never able to clear out the camera roll once and for all.
    3) Short of going one by one on the iPhone camera roll and deleting the images, what I now use is the Apple app, "*__Image Capture_*"
    4) Attach your iPhone to your Mac as if you were going to synch. Go to your Apps folder, open the "Image Capture" app. After it loads you will see on the left hand side under Devices your iPhone listed.
    5) Select your iPhone, and in the main image Capture window you will then see all the images currently on your iPhone camera roll. You can now select all or some and click the Delete button (Red Circle with a line thru it) at the bottom of the Image Capture screen. This will delete them from the iphone and clear your camera roll.
    (NOTE: please make sure you have already transferred the images off your iPhone if you want to keep them, because as far as I know, once you delete them this way from your iPhone they are gone.)
    6) As an additional option, you can if you so desire, opt to click on the "Delete after Import" box (lower right corner in the main Image Capture page). The means that all future transfers/synch of images from your iPhone to iPhoto will be deleted afterwards whether or not you say so in iPhoto transfer.
    Hope this helps. It did for me, I was able to finally removed the 800 or so photo's I had left behind on my iPhone. My camera roll is clean now and the process works much better, at least for me.

  • Has anyone found any glow-in-the-dark earbuds (with mic) for the iPhone?   I'm looking for some that glow or light up so they can be seen when I walk in the dark.

    Has anyone found any glow-in-the-dark earbuds (with mic) for the iPhone?   I'm looking for some that glow or light up so they can be seen when I walk in the dark.

    In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
    So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
    If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

  • Why does my iPhone camera shut down when I try to take a picture?

    Every time I try to snap a photo with either Camera+, iPhone camera, or Instagram, the app shuts down and goes back to my main screen??  Maddening.

    Double tap the home button. Then you'll see the  apps that are currently running. close all all by holding any of the icons for two secs and tapping the red minus sign. then try it again.
    If this doesnt help, do a hard reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and home button together until the apple logo appears.
