Hi Andrea,

Here is a response to your quick reply a little while ago. I did a little more testing, 1.0.2, ...
1) With your instructions, I can now find the zoom and associated move. It works great.
However, the move direction is counter-intuitive on a tablet: when I swipe left, the image moves right instead.
(On PC's, we have the Mac and Win approach which are exactly opposite. But on tablets, most people want the fingers to move the image same direction.
That's at least the way other Windows apps work...)

2) I noticed, on further testing, that when the tablet moves from landscape to portrait direction, the program in tablet adjust correspondingly - that is good and default in tablet.
However, when the camera moves from landscape to portrait, there is NO corresponding change in the image displayed.
I think that is the behavior programmed by Pentax. However, is it possible to receive the portrait direction sensor from the camera?
If so, can we auto-shift? If not, can we have a manual shift from landscape to portrait?
Looking at the image the proper way is useful in composition, not to mention that maybe we can also optimize the image display size as well. Is that do-able?

Thanks,
Gilbert

1) When in Live View Zoom you have to click, in the direction that you want, not to swipe.
2) Yep, I'm at work on this

I've some ideas/questions:

• How about longer exposure times in Bulb mode? Currently just 30s are available in each program mode. All other apps are limited to this too
• How about the display of battery status in percent like in the app "Photo Sync" ?
• I'd wish to have the ability to change skins regarding the device i'm using -
  - tablet skin with written names under symbold (like in MS IE5) as well as larger option areas/text size for easier touch operation
  - current not-touchscreen optimized (mouse) skin without icon labels
• New icons which are easier to understand (only green button is known from Kamera)
• overlay when viewing photos on the SD which shows the active focus point(s) used? Would be an great feature

BULB. In BULB there are two possibilities. Normal Bulb behavior: in B mode you have to click the shoot button to start the exposure and then click to stop when you want. Timer Bulb Behavior: in B mode you have to press the green button to switch in timer mode, now you can set more than 30s values. I can't check now the exact steps, sorry.
BATTERY. Image Sync shown percentage? Are you sure?
TABLET MODE. A better support to tablets is in my list
ICONS. Icons are: Reset connection, Green button, Live View, Shoot
FOCUS POINTS REVIEW. Would be useful but also it's a big work...

BULB: timer mode sounds great, i have to try it!
BATTERY: After i'd write my question, i realized it's only the display which differs. Values are just in 1/3 steps too.
FOCUS POINTS REVIEW: I believe it'd be a lot of time and work. Maybe an feature for an extended pro version of the WiFi Commander?

Just a note for those of you wanting all those features - Andrea is doing this with time available and is to be commended on efforts so far. Some requests require a significant amount of developmental/debugging time so keep it reasonable (features that are worth the effort to others as well and features that are practical). Also, shoot a donation Andrea's way to make worth the time and effort, and to support those added features. This could really develop into a great Pentax tool but only if it's supported the right way by the Pentax community

Agreed.

Users should note that they are not submitting feature requests to an enterprise on the scale of Microsoft or Apple (or Ricoh) ...

This application should aim to do a few important things, and do them well, within the modest capabilities of the camera interface. No need to pile up huge feature wish-lists for the developer.

Hi,

you have to check in the KP manual under "Using the Camera with a Communication Device" section.

Happy use of Wifi Commander for Pentax!

It's working. I love that. I don't know is everything is working fine, but as I can see from first look, everything is fine.

I would donate to keep doing good work !

This is even easier, there is a DONATE button on the website Wifi Commander for Pentax and inside the app....
