v2.0.11 - D3x - New User Help please!

[Dewcal]

Am trying Remote out and while the programme sees the camera, I am unable to get it to do anything with the camera in terms of changing mode, aperture, focus or taking images.

The camera is seen by the PC (Win7 64 bit) and I can control it using other programmes.

What am I not doing that I should be?

TIA
Dave

Dave,

We just published newer version, please check it and send us log file (support@heliconsoft.com) if the problem persists.

Thanks Stas, Will try the new version when I can find it. All I can see is a download for the Helicon Focus I already have and do not seem to be able to find the Remote utility on it's own - what have I missed?

TIA

Please unzip this new version of Helicon Remote into Helicon Focus folder:

Thanks Stas, Have downloaded and will try over weekend.

Have downloaded latest version of HF with HR and it now seems to control the D3 - thanks for this.

Am still getting to grips with how to use, and having issues with focus steps - I do not seem to be able to get these small enough. Looking at help file, line 5 shows a disc symbol for each end of focus scale - where can I see this in H Remote?

How do I control the focus increment? AM using a 105 macro lens on the camera.

Thanks for testing. We help file will be updated soon. Use A and B button in Helicon Remote interface to store positions of the nearest and fartherst points. Please open Preferences, Nikon page. You are able to define size of the focusing steps there.

A & B! Thanks for help - will be trying again at weekend.
