Nikon Control Beta Feedback

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

Thanks a lot for all your feedback. In a few cases I answered your posts by email. If I didn’t I still read your feedback and will consider your feature requests. I will release a new version in a few days containing some of the most requested features. If one of you is a skilled designer willing to contribute some UI work to the project please let me know. Also please keep posting feedback and feature requests.

Nikon SDK Wiki

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

I was already asked by someone if I could do a Windows version of the Nikon Capture application. I already don’t have so much time for private projects, so programming this application for Windows as well means less time for the Mac version. I also don’t use Windows at home. Sorry Windows users. But I would like to setup a wiki for the Nikon SDK.

Since there is no support from Nikon for the SDK and the documentation is mainly just a list of functions and properties (and of cause a detailed description of USB commands that you usually don’t want to deal with) I think an inofficial documentation in form of a wiki would be helpfull for any Mac or Windows developer who want’s to write an application using the Nikon SDK.

So anyone interested in joining me, please send me a small note.

Nikon Control Beta 1

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

I recently finally bought digital SLR camera. I actually thought I’m more a Canon guy. I actually wanted to wait for an affordable full format camera, but since I didn’t want to spend about 2.500 EUR for my first DSLR I chose between the Canon 50D and Nikon D90 and then decided for Nikon for several reasons.

One reason for a DSLR was the ability to take pictures for HDR imaging. Unfortunately the camera only can take three pictures using the bracketing feature. So I thought maybe I could write me some nice application which allows me to take a few more pictures.

(more…)

You wanna know what I did recently?

Hi, it has been a while since my last post. And this one will not be very long. The reason is: I was quite busy. I’ll write a much longer post in a few days with news about the Barcode App, the multi-touch framework and a few things that will happen this year. So stay tuned.
