Dija01 ,

Its nice

I like the app but I feel like I am not gettig full access of the app, even afer buying it. Im not sure if its because I have the Canon EOS M50 and that is not one of he cameras listen when you fisrt open the app.
But I dont get any of the setting or tools from the right side of the app which makes me very sad. Besides that I feel like its pretty useful.

Hello Dija01,
Thank you for your review!
The app supports and should work fine with the Canon EOS M50.
Could you help me figuring out the reason of the issue? Please email me at support@dslrassistant.com.

Outstanding for construction timelapse!!

I have this just for the timelapse function and it's solid and amazing! I was previously using raspberry pi's for this and it's so clunky compared to this on a mac mini. This works incredible. I wrote an automator program to launch the app and auto start the timelapse in case of power loss with auto login. I even have my mac mini powering down at night and up in the morning (for conserving power on solar), 5 days now without issue. Any chance you might add Panasonic camera control in the future, specifically the GH series for a small mirrorless option? Keep up the great work!!

Judge an App by what it does, not what it costs.

I've used this app for several years and find it is incredibly useful. Mostly I use it when photographing miniatures, and the ability to have the app control my Canon cameras is outstanding. It is an invaluable tool for making micro-focus adjustments and taking multiple photos for both focus stacking and true HDR images.

Thank you!
