Tethering a camera to the iPad

Hello all, new iPad owner here. I was wondering if there was an app out there that allowed the tethering of a DSLR camera directly to the iPad without having to use a computer (onOne Software). I bout the camera connection it which allows downloading of photos from camera to the iPad but I want to be able to control the camera from the iPad like youcan when tethered to a computer. Thanks.

Since DSLRs are part of proprietary "systems", it's unlikely that a generic remote control app will be available. More likely, the app will have to come from the manufacturer as part of their "system". (i.e.: you can't use all the smart features of Nikon flash with a Canon EOS. So an app to control a Nikon will likely have to come from Nikon.)
The only remote control from an iPad I've seen uses a Canon EOS 5D:

I dont know much more about what equipment was used (I'm not an EOS user) but I can't imagine that it'd be cheap. And in addition, if you're not a EOS user, then you're looking at $2000+ for a EOS 5D body, then add the lenses, flash, etc. BTW, it looks like there's still a "computer" attached to the camera body, but it's more a controller rather than a general purpose PC (which is why I think that it's not going to be cheap.)

  • Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad?  I want to bring RAW photo files from my camera, through the IPad and back to an external hard drive.  One of my cameras does not use an SD card.  How can I do this?

    Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad?  I want to bring RAW files from my camera through the IPad and out to an external hard drive.  One of my cameras has an SD card but the other one doesn't have a card that would fit in any of the camera devices I've seen on line.  Realted to this, I bought the IPad camera accessory.  Can I put the SD card in the device and also hook the external hard drive to the USB port of the accessory and download from the camera to the hard drive?  Can I put Lightroom or the Nikon photo editing software on the IPad?  Right now I carry a PC laptop and external hard drives with me on wildernes trips.  Internet and WiFi are not available.  Because I shoot so many photos and they're in RAW I need to download from the camera to the external drive because I run out of memory on the PC (and it has much more memory than the IPad).  I have Nikon NX software and lightroom on my PC.  I'd love to be able to reduce the weight I carry by using the IPad to edit my photos each night while on trips.  Is this possible and how would I do it?  I'd appreciate any guidance.

    No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
    For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

  • After I make a note in the notes icon that came with the ipad, it immediately is emailed to my email address and disappears from notes. How can I make it stay on notes?

    After I write a note in the notes icon that came with the ipad, it immediately emails it to my email account and erases it from the note pad. How do I make it stay on the notepad? I don't particularly want it emailed to me.

    I have a test with some questions (multiple choice, FIB, matching, etc). I have just one button to submit all the answers, and after submiting the student can see his score and review the test to know where he failed. He can't answer again. However, he can change the answer multiple times before submiting.
    "if i turn on success/failure captions the student will see them while answering" - before submitting
    "if i turn them off he wont know what's the right answer" - after submitting
    My results page is the default. I didn't use any variable. When i go to the results page after reviewing the test all the entry boxes are "wrong".

  • 1. I have an iPod which has purchases synced with I tunes with an apple ID. I now have an iPad with a new ID for cloud. I have cloud storage capacity of 5gb which came with the iPad. How can I use one ID and store my existing music in cloud?

    HI Frostyfrog
    CHeck out iTunes Match which has an annual fee of £21 or thereabouts. You can store a maximum of 25,000 songs there and they all become available on your other kit, iPhone, iPad and iPod. I know it works as I have over 23000 songs uploaded of which only a few we're bought through iTunes.
    it works by comparing your music to the whole iTunes music dadata base so you access the same tunes that you could get from iTunes. If you have obscure stuff, it uploads your own music to the cloud as a copy.
    I Find it incredible that on my iPhone with its 16gb memory I can view almost 200 gb of music (ie my 23000 songs) and play any of them. Anything I add to iTunes becomes available via the cloud fairly quickly from a few minutes or a little longer if adding a lot.
    The first time you use it it will take quite a while to match your music if you have a lot, but after that it is all automatic. Read the stuff on the apple site. Your PC needs to be at least running Vista. I recommend it and at less than 50p a week it's good value.
    Good luck

  • I have an Olympus E620 and have bought an IPad 4th Generation. How can I transfer my pictures from the camera to the IPad?. My camera does not take SD cards.

    I have an Olymput E620 and iPad 4th generation, how can I download the pictures off the camera to the iPad?
    The only cable I can find with lightning and usb is the apple camera adaptor but it is £25 from Apple which is a bit expensive if it will not work. Some peoples reviews seem to say this will not work, I can not use the camera reader by Apple as this only takes SD cards and my camera takes XD and compact flash cards. I have realised that you cannot use this cable on a card reader which is a shame and means taking more cables on holiday with you and more likely to get lost. This is so frustrating as one of the reasons of buying the iPad was to use, to transport photos whilst away instead of having lots of cards which do get lost and damaged. I hope someone can help as there seems to be a lot of confusion as to what works in cases like this.

    go to start - computer - right click on ipod and import pics.
    Peace, Clyde

  • Connect a camera to the ipad

    Can a camera be connected to an ipad?  If so, how?  Can you then transfer images from the camera to the ipad, for storage, for editing and for display?

    I shoot RAW plus jpeg on my camera and then transfer photos to my iPad with the Camera Connection Kit. All my cameras use a CF card so I just connect the camera to the iPad instead of using the are reader. Once you connect you will be given the option to import all the photos or to select just those you want to import. Also you have the option to delete the photos from the camera or keep them there.
    Not all camera work exactly the same. Some will allow you to transfer with the camera off. Other cameras have to be turned on to transfer the photos. So if you connect a camera and mothering happens after a little while, turn on the camera while it is still connected.

  • Is there a camera for the iPad 1?

    Is there a camera for the iPad 1?

    There is a camera in the original iPAD but it takes photos from inside so you can transfer images from aps to the albums. Some of the less sophisticated art apps have you hold down the start key and the bottom simultaneously.  It will flash and maybe save what you drew or painted. Never a sure bet. I wondered about that camera myself but seriously how awkward will it be taking a picture with this thing? Get an iPhone. You 'll love it. Jury is out on MacBook Pro.
    Do you have issues with sound on iPAd I cannot hear anything on it or my Mac.

  • Is there a flash when using the camera on the iPad?

    Is there a flash when using the camera on the iPad?

    Unlike iPhone, there's no LED flash on iPad. But iPad's specs indicate that it does have a backside illumination sensor to increase the amount of light captured and thereby improve low-light performance. Apple say:
    "The 5‑megapixel iSight camera features a backside illumination sensor that captures great-looking pictures whether by sunlight or candlelight." (Source)

  • Why did Apple omit the Panorama feature in Camera on the Ipad, when they did the IOS6 update?

    Why did Apple omit the Panorama feature in Camera on the Ipad, when they did the IOS 6 Update? They included this feature on the iPod touch (5th gen) so why not on the iPad?

    I was on vacation in a national park and saw people using their iPads as a video camera...one of them standing in the  middle of a 'river' (read really large stream) at the time.
    I'm going to also go with the supposition of it being a different camera and probably different video handling processor. The iPhone is quite far ahead of the iPad camera wise, so probably has better protocols in place to handle images, especially something as complex as the 'live photo stitch' of the panorama.
    many existing cameras take what the panorama was, a 'photo stitch' where mulitple side by side photos are stitched together into one large panorama. This just appears to do it 'live' instead of individual shots that need to be processed on a comptuer to make the panorama.

  • Thinking of buying an ipad.  is it possible to transfer photos directly from a camera to the ipad

    Thinking of buying an Ipad2 to take on photo shoots so clients can look at photos at the time they are taken.  I know the Ipad will not accept my memory card, but is there another way of transferring photos directly from my camera to the Ipad? 

    There is the camera connection kit which supports SD cards (the kit has an SD card reader) and direct transfer from the camera - some other card readers also work with it, but most require more power than is supplied to the kit. Moer info on the kit : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4101
    You can then copy the photos from the iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

  • How do you load pics directly from a P&S camera to the iPad?

    My wife and I will be going on vacation and I don't want to take my laptop. Is there a cable and an app to transfer pics directly from the camera to the iPad?
    Thanks,

    The camera connection kit will transfer photos. It has a USB adapter and a SD card adapter. If your camera has a sd card then you just insert it into the adapter and plug it into the 30 pin connector on your iPad and the photos app will open and display your photos you can import all or just select certain photos to import. If your camera does not us a sd card then just connect it with the USB cable from your camera to the USB adapter, turn on your camera and they will appear in the photos app and you import them.

  • Is there a way to stream video from an external camera to the iPad? Ultimately, I would like to have an app to annotate content and save video and stills. Thanks

    Hi - I am completely new to the iPad apps world (other than as a consumer). My current laboratory workflow takes live analog video from a high quality camera mounted on a microscope, passes the composite signal through a digitizer and displays the digitized stream via USB with a program on my computer. I can watch, resize, and capture stills or video segments from the live video feed. I have good solultions to accomplish this for both Mac and the PC.
    What I would really like is to get that live video on an iPad in the context of an application where users can capture still pictures and short video segments of the streamed content, annotate them with descriptive observations, and search in a  database for comparable images. Is there an existing technology that would allow me to handle at least the video display and capture aspect around which a specific app could be built? I am new to iPad so I have no idea how to do this. Everything I've seen is about watching pre-stored video programs that are already  on the Mac. Thanks so much.
