We received so much positive feedback about our Photo iPhone Apps article we knew we had to continue the series.
Canon 5D II Mini-Manual
This 5D II is one of our weekend recreational cameras as a company, but it has so many features that even we get dizzy! This app is a mini guide to the functions, features, and menus of the camera. It’s like having the most important part of the user’s manual in your pocket at all times. Documentation includes all the basic controls such as shooting, auto focus, and metering modes. Advanced controls including bracketing, white balance, custom functions, menu settings reference, and quick help section.

Don’t let the name fool you. This app’s great power for a photographer is to remotely enter up to four different keyboard shortcuts. Effectively freeing you from needing to be near the computer to trigger a tethered camera, zoom in to 100%, zoom to fit, tag an image, or hide/show the browser (thumbnails). See the instructions below. Outside of this specific use Air Mouse can also be used to control the mouse itself allowing theoretically any function to be completed remotely; however, in pratical use this can be challanging to do at any great distance (it can be hard to see the mouse).

Setting Up Air Mouse with Capture One
Below are some suggested instructions to tie your Air Mouse on your iPhone to Capture One during a tethered shoots.
1) Connect both the iPhone and Mac to the same wireless network. If needed you can create a WiFi Ad-Hoc Network using the mac and join that (so you don’t need a router in the field).
2) Install Air Mouse Server, Launch it.
3) A small Air Mouse icon will appear near your clock in the upper right of the screen. Click on that icon and select “Air Mouse Server Settings”.
4) Select “Function” and enter very short names along with their shortcuts.
5) Enjoy your iPhone remote control for Capture One.
