I've been setting up the image sync app so that I can shoot remotely from my iPhone. Works fine in image mode.. Helpful.. especially when I do macro work close to the ground. My old bones can't get down there to see the image. But its not working in video mode. I can switch to video mode, and turn on wifi.. but the app on my phone doesn't see the camera. It lets me hook up to it. But when I go into the Shoot menu.. it simply starts telling me how to hook up.. Which I am.

Is this feature not supported.. Is it a bug, and is their a better alternative to the Ricoh app?

Shooting white background artwork

I have created silverpoint artwork.. Its on a dead white ground (made with marble dust).. its VERY white.. White is zero density, and the artwork greyscales up in darkness to about a max of 70%. So the range is pretty narrow but it starts at zero.

I've tried using the manual white balance setup. But it does not set a "white point" the spot in the image that represents the edge of blown out density. I used to operate drum scanners back in the 80's all up through the 90's. On a "real" scanner. You can set the point in the image that is the white point, and its balance, actually dial in the values you want that spot to be calibrated to. You then set the shadow point, and some selective color areas to map to.

All the shots I've done, with various Fstops from 5 to 11 all capture that white ground as a 1/4 tone. White balance, simple allows me to set the "color" of the white. But it does not allow me to set the drop out density area. I can drop the background by over-exposing the image, but then I lose all subtle starting density in the image.

I have good studio lighting, that is giving me good even illumination. (studio lights with diffusers).

Anyone have a method of getting there?

Thanks in advance.
