Helicon Remote Mac Beta testing

Post by Herman Rodriguez »

Stas:

I just downloaded your software and am anxious to use it but I don't see any instructions for use. Are they available and if so where?

Regards,

Herman

Just downloaded the beta. Here is my two cents,

1. Software response seems a bit slow.
2. Flash will go off only when I turn off live view mode and use the "Take Picture" button and won't with "Start Shooting" button.

What camera and flash are you using?

Sorry. I should have mentioned it on the post. I am using Canon 5D mark II with Broncolor power pack.

I suggest you to set "Disable live view during shooting" option in the Preferences\Canon.

As far as I remember, non-Canon flashes do not work if live view is active.

That was the first thing I did, disable the live preview mode in preference but the flash unit still won't go off when I hit "start shooting"

We reproduced the bug with the non-Canon flash. The option to disable live view during shooting is not functioning, that is why the flash is not working. This will be fixed within two days.
