Please try v.0.7.6 because I changed some behavior to better support 1 SD card slot cameras.

Best Regards,

Andrea

Thanks Andrea for your hard work, I just installed .76. Using my Ks2 when a picture is taken it shows up in the left panel, but when I check live view and then take a picture, no picture appears in the left panel. When I click on the main panel picture with auto focus checked to refocus and then take a picture, the check mark changes and and shows auto focus off. I single click dose not always move the check mark, a double click usually moves the auto focus check from "auto" to "off".

Again Thanks
Hank

Hi,

Thank you for your tests! I will send a PM to you.
About focus, when you click with LV ON I have to disable AF on shoot otherwise the camera will refocus when you press the shoot button.
I will debug the check control click problem.

Thank you to oneeyedhawk for the tests.

JPG of DNG in thumb preview only downloads if sd2 is set so user has to change card setting between shot and attempt to download. At least should warn user. I have DNG to SD1 and jpgs to SD2 with K1.

Working on small screened laptop having Thumb Preview plus bug really limits viewing area. Can you make settings area shrink into left side for more user viewing space? I'd make Thumb preview either an option or shrinkable too.

Ciao Andrea,

I installed 0.7.7.0:

Turn on the K1, turn on WIFI, connect laptop to camera's wifi, start 0.7.7.0
I tick the LV box in the SW and the camera start an endless "remote exposure" in intervals (I had to turn the camera off)
The same happens if the camera is in LV before I connect it... It looks like I can't use LV. The camera is set to single exposure in P mode...

The file list window is compressed (see attachment)... I don't seem to be able to expand it...

Ciao!!

Enzo

Do you have one or two cards in the K 1? I test your setup with two cards and it worked. Will test with one if that is what causes it.

Thumbs Up Andrea

Tested with version 0.7.7.

**rechmbrs** · 09-16-2017, 05:42 AM

Another go at 0.7.7 and I tested with one card (SD1). Works OK on mine laptop if I remember to set to record both DNG and JPG to SD1. Otherwise it was flaky. It seems to try to write and read SD2 and gives OK that I downloaded from there even though it is none existent. You might need to make a table for the user as to what settings go together.

Under INFO, SD1 RAWDN xxxx SD2 RAWDN xxxx both need more space for file type RAWDNG and the number xxxx. See below.

RONC

Is this different from earlier versions? If so, please check to see what you might have turned on since last good run. If not, Andrea needs to help. If first test, turn off things like the elevation correction etc. That you have to use the live view.

What version of Windows? Also check that you really have the v0.7.7.0 (or now 0.7.8.5) installed (Help->About).

Please, retry and provide me the log: Help -> Save Log (new feature)

Many thanks!

Yes, I'm on Windows 10. I was using 0.7.7.0. I installed 0.7.8.5 and I have the same issue, the moment I click the LV button in the software, the camera starts shooting with intervals of a second or so until I unclick the LV button. I have attached the log.

Ciao,

Enzo

Andrea K · 09-19-2017, 03:10 PM

What is your SD cards configuration and setup? You have any card in slot 2?
Also try to upgrade firmware and retry.

Thank you

Andrea K · 09-20-2017, 01:06 AM
