Hi mates!
I released the v 1.5.0 of WiFi Commander for PENTAX, in this version you can find:
1- Planned Shots: with this function you can set every shot parameter, also the AF point, and make a program of shots with an interval between each or specific date/time. Works in M / B timed / X modes.*
2- Live View enhancements: there will be a red square to indicate the focus point. If you use the LV zoom after the focus point selection you will have a zoom on the focus area.
3- Picture review enhancements: you can zoom also stored pictures.
4- LV Zoom K-70 bug: K-70 has a bug with Pentax LV zoom implementation, I made a dedicated version of this function to have a working zoom also with the K-70
5- Improved post-shot logic to speed up times
6- Improved "latest pictures taken" panels
7- In app Focus switch now reads from the in camera setting
8- Performances improvements and bugfixes
* I'm very proud of the Planned Shots feature, let me add some words about.
You have to put the camera on M or B timed or X mode, then select the exposure values, filters, WB, size, etc and when ready press the new "shot" button with a calendar inside. Now in the Planned Shots tab you will find a new Program. In the same way you can add shots with different parameters. If you want to edit a shot you can select it and press the edit button or double click the row in a white cell. To define a delay (HH:MM:SS format) between the shots or a specific date/time you have to double click the green cells.
When you set the shot parameters you can also define a specific focus area, to do this you have to enable the LiveView and click on that area of the image. Save or Edit with the new "shot" button with the calendar inside. In the Planned Shots tab you can create new Programs, move up/down shots inside the programs, export and import your Programs.... etc...

I made an "Overview and Tutorial" video on youtube:

I hope that you enjoy my efforts. The app is still free but if it is useful for your job or passion, and you can, please make a PayPal donation from my website to support the development.
Next step will be the mac porting!!!
All the best,
Andrea

Pity my PC is in the living room and any photos I take are either in the garden or kitchen. I suppose it would be more use with a laptop. I've got one but never use it

Boys and Girls... v 1.0.5 is online. Please, first uninstall previous versions because I had to change the installer due to security stuffs.
Enjoy

Hi,
tethering has a limited interest. I use the app to avoid to connect the USB cable or to open/close the sd cards door but it could be very usefull in still life, macro reproduction, film scan and astrophotografy.
tethering has a limited interest, it's true. I use the software to avoid to connect the USB cable or to open/close the sd cards door but it could be very usefull in still life, macro reproduction, film scan and astrophotografy. The app can also be used with tablets. In the next releases I will add the "programmed shots", a sort of interval shooting.
Cheers

Version 1.7.1 is online with:
1- K3 Mark III and GR III compatibility: the much sought after compatibility is finally here! K3 Mark III, and the GR III family, is a totally new camera with a completely different software inside (this meant much work also because I don't own this camera). Specific functions are: LV autorotation, Metering mode change, Extra small sized picture autodownload, Drive modes support, etc...
2- Bi-directional communications: now you can operate from the camera and the app updates itself. Very useful on studio sessions to check the shots in a bigger screen and autodownload the pictures.
3- Composition Adjustments: with KP and K3 Mark III you can now use the Composition Adjustments, also in the Planned Shots!
4- Drive modes: with KP and K3 Mark III are available many drive modes like Bracketing and Continuous.
5- Intervalometer & Self-Timer: easy access to a simplified Intervalometer and Self-Timer function.
6- Histogram: histogram for pictures and Live View (real time).
7- Planned Shots enhancements: useful functions to clone and to massively set a delay.
8- Bugfixes and performance optimizations.
Get it from https://www.wificommanderpentax.com
Hope you like it,
Andrea
