    @mjas and @Rambalac header length changes depending on the mode (P, A, S, M, Auto) you're in, I don't think the lens changes anything. I think A, S, M are the same, and P and Auto are shorter.

    Didn't play with GH4, and didn't look at this for a loooong time, but it's what I remember.

    That positions changes, it looks like related to lens somehow

  • mjasmjas

    @fweinb Have you noticed that the header changes length when record is enabled? On the GH4 the header becomes 16 bytes longer (16 extra bytes inserted after byte 46).

  • lenuisiblelenuisible

    Good job fweinb !

  • fweinbfweinb

    I did some research in what the header bytes mean. I got most of them covered now. This is only tests on my FZ1000 so maybe some values are biased towards that device but I tried to reduce my bias and only include things that can be calculated or are derived from the offical apps.

    Is it also possible to monitor the audio signal, or it works only for video?

  • GrimorGrimor

    Delay is almost the same of Imgapp.

  • CFreakCFreak

    I love this development. Finally a way to make the image look good on an external screen over wifi! Thank you!

    How much of a delay is there from the camera's screen to the Scopes screen? It's hard to tell in the video when there's a "push to reframe" and I know there is a delay when using the Panasonic App

    Thanks.

    @fomalhaut3 We've been working on getting the same features as the iOS version into Android—so anamorphic de-squeeze and image controls.

    I've been traveling a lot for work, and I'm moving countries, so this is why development has slowed down a little.

  • fomalhaut3fomalhaut3

    Any update on new features in Android? How is the development of the app going?

  • mjasmjas

    Hey, I'm doing 25% off the iOS app for a week, until Dec 11th.

    As always, beta signup is here: http://bit.ly/scopes-app-beta

    @Adam_Mercier @Rhanlon

    No special procedure for GH3 that I know of. I'll have to get my hands on a GH3 before I figure out what needs to work different internally. Apologies!

  • MonosapiensMonosapiens

    Android Beta works with GX80 (Galaxy S7) after starting the Panasonic image app first. I'll provide more feedback after ive used the app in the field :)

  • RhanlonRhanlon

    I also couldn't get the Android beta to recognize my gh3 after successfully connecting it with two separate Android devices. The app worked with the gh4 on both devices.

  • Adam_MercierAdam_Mercier

    Thank you for android beta link! I tried to connect with no luck on GH3. I selected remote shooting and view in movie mode and connected to the camera wifi using my phone. Then started the app but it sait it was not connected to the camera wifi.

    I tried staring the Lumix link and image apps before, but it did not help. Any special procedure for the GH3?

    Thanks!

  • mjasmjas

    @fomalhaut3 Yeah send me your email and i will add you to android beta

    @mjas

    Btw, I love this topic.

    As it is that PV is about - smart men doing useful things.

  • fomalhaut3fomalhaut3

    @mjas any way of having the beta 4 android? great work btw

  • fomalhaut3fomalhaut3

    totally agree with @blazer003

  • GrimorGrimor

    G80 with Roundabout + Anamorphic

  • lenuisiblelenuisible

    @mjas

    Byte 143 -- ISO?

    Byte 140 -- EV?

    Byte 72 & 73 -- aperture?

    I spent some time yesterday evening playing with my GX7, and yes, you're right.

    I will add :

    Byte 85 & 86 -- SS

    Byte 109 -- Dial Mode

  • mjasmjas

    @blazer003 Fair enough. :)

  • blazer003blazer003

    @mjas That is a great offer, to use the beta for free, and I will continue to test and play with it for sure. But morally, I feel it is wrong to use it professionally and not pay for it. Just like someone using my footage.

    Like I said, I do fully support your right to make the price whatever you want, and I do hope people buy it, and I may buy it because I saw how you began it, and I feel like I know this project personally, but I just wanted to share that if this was an app out in the wild, I don't think I'd pay that much for it, just so you'd at least have that honest perspective. Keep up the great work!

  • GrimorGrimor

    tested the app with G80 and its working OK, just with the workaround (open first IMG APP and then Scopes)

  • mjasmjas

    @lenuisible Everything needed to develop the apps is already available in your generous post. The one big thing left is to figure out which bits in the header corresponds to which camera settings ... so far I think the following applies.

    Byte 143 -- ISO?

    Byte 140 -- EV?

    Byte 72 & 73 -- aperture?
