qDslrDashboard
qDslrDashboard is a cross platform application for controlling Nikon, Canon and Sony cameras. It uses the PTP and PTP/IP protocol to communicate with the connected DSLR camera. Currently qDslrDashboard is available for Android, iOS, Linux, OSX and Windows platforms. The Linux, OSX and Windows version is free.
The application is written in C++ using the Qt Framework. It uses the OpenCV library for image processing, LibRaw library for RAW image processing and the libusb library for the USB communication.
qDslrDashboard supports multiple DSLR camera connection at once. The connection with the DSLR camera can be established with the following methods:
- USB – DSLR camera connected with USB cable to your PC or Android device (on Android devices you must use an USB OTG adapter)
- network – using DslrDashboardServer (ddserver) running on OpenWrt router or another instance of qDslrDashboard running on another device
- wireless – with Nikon WU-1a/1b and Nikon built in wireless, Canon WFT and Sony mirror-less cameras with built in wireless using the Playmemories ‘Smart remote control’ application
Some of the qDslrDashboard features:
- change camera settings/properties
- initiate capture
- display live view (on DSLR cameras that support it)
- start/stop movie recording (on DSLR cameras that support it)
- BULB capture (on DSLR cameras that support it)
- image browser for local images and images located on camera SD card
- custom bracketing (in M and A mode)
- focus stacking
- Sky stacking helper
- interval timer
- LrTimelapse screen for helping time-lapse shooting
- capture history
- control the Dynamic PerceptionNMX motion controller
Note: qDslrDashboard is still under development and probably there are errors that needs to be fixed and functions that are not fully implemented.

Description
Operate a Canon camera tethered to a Mac, efficiently capture digital images, automatically perform various photo tasks and maintain the high quality of images throughout your workflow.
WHY SHOOT TETHERED?
• Save Time. Perform you photo tasks faster, better and more easily. Reduce the amount of post processing workflow.
• Enhance Image Quality. Make sure that focus, exposure, lighting, and of course composition are all the way you want them.
• Get immediate feedback from the client and/or model. Make on-the-spot decisions which would benefit both of you.
• Automate Common Tasks. Easily capture sequences of photos for HDR, macro and time-lapse photography.
TETHERED SHOOTING
• Control practically all camera parameters, key settings and shooting functions remotely. With only a few clicks you may change aperture, shutter speed, ISO, image size and quality, control lens focus and more. While it is still possible to set all options in the camera, it often makes more sense to make the changes remotely.
• Release the shutter by pressing the release button on a camera body or remotely from the app.
• Automatically transfer all captured images to your Mac.
• See a live view from a camera on a large screen while shooting.
• Adjust lens focus precisely when shooting at a shallow depth of field.
• Record high quality native video stream into a file.
IMAGE LIBRARY
• Automatically organise captured images.
• Support for tokens in file and folder names.
• Rate images from within the app.
INSTANT IMAGE PREVIEW
• Preview captured images instantly on a large screen while shooting.
• Image histogram with red, green and blue channels.
• Identify overexposed and underexposed areas of the image.
• Review the focus points used by the camera when recording the picture.
• Examine EXIF information describing different parameters digital camera used while taking a shot.
LIVE VIEW
• Frame the shot without the need to look through the camera’s viewfinder, you may use the Mac screen instead.
• Precisely adjust lens focus.
• Zoom LiveView image in and out.
• Flip live preview image horizontally.
• Record LiveView video stream into a file.
NIGHT MODE
• Dim the screen to preserve your eyesight in a darkened environment.
• Make your screen red to preserve your night vision even better.
INTERVAL SHOOTING
• Arbitrary number of shots in the sequence.
• User-defined time interval between shots.
• Start and finish shooting at the predefined time.
• Shooting on certain weekdays.
FOCUS BRACKETING
• Automatically capture images with different positions of the focal plane to increase depth of field in your macro shots.
• User-defined focus step between sequential shots.
EXPOSURE BRACKETING
• Automatic capture of bracketed series of images for high dynamic range photography.
• Far greater dynamic range.
• User-defined bracketing step.
BULB MODE
• Set your shutter speed for longer than 30 seconds.

qDslrDashboard
I uploaded a test version for MAC OSX. It can be found under Downloads or here qDslrDashboard_V0.1.4.dmg.
Please test it. I managed to run it on Mountain Lion (running in Virtualbox – iAtkos ML) and on Mavericks (running on my notebook – iAtkos M).

Thank you for OSX version. It works well with my 550D and Macbook Air. Many thanks for your effort. I can’t wait to see the iOS version.
Best regards,
Anat
I tested qDD with 550D and Macbook Air. It works well. Thank you for your effort.
Hi Zoltan,
Test it using my macbook pro with mavericks. Most of the functions works, but I can’t connect my Mac with my 6D using the wireless connection. The Canon wifi button is not clickable, USB connection no problem.
I think this is the same as the previous version. It still doesn’t respond when clicking the wifi option (Mac version) and the creation date is 5/5/2014 at 11:17 for both. BTW, I’m tethering to a Macbook Pro running OS10.9.3 to a Canon 5dMkiii with the latest firmware. Works fine when connected directly via USB/OTG.
Thanks for this. Unfortunately, I still have the same results. The WiFi action button doesn’t function. I just loaded qDD on another Mac with the same results. Is there anything on the camera that needs to be changed? BTW when I installed OpenWRT on a new MR3040, it was preconfigured with a PW of “dslrcontroller” and an SSID of DSLRController. Not sure if this matters…
same here with the D7100 and Macbook Air 13.3″ running OSX Mavericks, very good progress we can’t wait to see it in iOS also .. for sure I would spend xx$ for such and app! Great work!
i just tested this and it works smoothly.
My setup:
– ddserver on raspberry pi
– Nikon D5200 connected to pi
– qDslrDashboard on Macbook Air (1,3 GHz i5, Mac OS X 10.9.2)
How’s the work going on for iOS?
I’d be happy to help you 🙂
Best regards,
Tobias
I can’t wait to get an iOS version too! are you already working on that?
i don’t know on which platform you are programming, but microsoft recently opened visual studio for iOS. maybe this helps .. keep up the good work!
it works perfect on my MacBook Air running OS X 10.9.3.
Regards and many Thanks
Wolfgang
Btw. Wouldn’t it be possible to have an option to enable the Display of some information about the function of a button when hoovering over it?
… and with my D800. 🙂
I shot a timelapse last night with my Android nexus 7 and today I see found your Mac version. Testing it now. Seems to work well except I cannot control the self-timer functions/timelapse. I am using a Nikon d300 and would be happy to provide further feedback/data with this configuration.
Thanks for the great apps!
You helped me connect two Android devices together with qDSLRDashboard earlier, thank you sir.
I now can confirm that I am not seeing the option for the intervalometer in any of the qDslrDashboard applications (Mac & android) when connected to the Nikon d300. Thank you for looking into this and for your speedy responses!
There is no such function yet in qDD. It is on my todo list.
Hi everybody, and thank you Zoltan for your Mac release 🙂
Unfortunately, QDSLRDASHBOARD V0.1.4 crashes every times I connect the camera on USB.

Macbook Pro / OS 10.9.3 / Nikon V1
I have the same issue. Did you figure it out?
It works on my MBP ( 2Ghz I7, 8GB DDR3, late 2013)
But 🙂 it crashes after loosing camera connection.
Nevertheless great work.
Works fine with a MacBook Pro Retina, 10.9.3 and a D800!
Thanks a lot for the mac release.
Unfortunately doesn’t work with my D3300 +WU-1a and MacBook Pro Retina, 10.9.3 .
Neither does the USB connection work. Any ideas?
Does the application start? Did you pair your MacBook wireless with the WU-1a wireless? After that you should press the wireless button in application (number 3 at http://dslrdashboard.info/connection-screen-buttons/)
did all that. After pairing and pressing the wireless button in qDSLRDashboard a red light starts to flash at WU-1a indicating connection problems.
Then the application crashes.
Best regards,
Markus
It works amazing on my Android Note 3, but on my macbook with 10.7.5, it crashes on startup all the time, would appreciate any suggestions.
Will check but I only have a ‘hacintosh’ running Mavericks ‘10.9.3’ and in VirtualBox a ‘Mountain Lion’ 10.8.5
I just test your osx beta! It’s great and amazing !! What is the schedule for next update? Could you add the auto download function as the android ver did?
Regards !
Ivan
it works fine with a MacBook Pro Retina, 10.9.3 and a D800
and with a iMac 27″ (End 2012), 10.9.3 and D800!
Best regards

Hi, on my system the last OS X version (b) doesn’t work. I connect the TP-Link with a 5D MII, TP-Link boots up, creates its wireless connection point, I then connect to the wireless (IP address is the standard WRT 192.68.1.1), then I start your qdslrcontroller app (version b) and that’s it. Doesn’t go further. Long-pressing either the network or the wireless buttons doesn’t do anything. Trying to connect to the TP-Link through the app seems to be impossible.
Running 10.9.3 on an MBP 17″ i7, firewalls all down during testing.
Am I doing something wrong? Any ideas about what might cause this total blackout?
And – thanks for the effort, if it really worked it would help me a lot…
Dirk
After you pair the MR3040 wireless and your OSX wireless can you access the OpenWrt Web Interface (Luci) from a web browser (http://192.168.1.1) ?
If you can access, under System->Software check that you have the ddserver package 0.2-12 should be the version.
Under System->Startup check if ddserver is enabled (you can eventually use the ‘restart’ or ‘stop/start’ buttons to restart the ddserver)
Under Status->Processes you can check if ddserver is running.
Be sure that ddserver is the right version (0.12) as qDD will only work with this one.
When you pair your wireless with MR3040 can your access the MR3040 web interface from your browser (http://192.168.1.1) ?
Please use the forum as it is lighter to keep track and to answer.
I’m really impressed with the software so far! Here is my setup:
– MR3040 with latest OpenWrt software
– MacbookPro running 10.8.5
– Nikon D800
I connect my Macbook to DDServerAP Wifi and it works great! It stays connected without any problems and I can access the camera perfectly.
I only have a problem with my Galaxy Note 3. I can connect to DDServerAP wifi, then I run the DslrDashboard App. It works fine for a minute, then the wifi disconnects. The wifi will disconnect after a minute whether I run the app or not. Since it works fine with my Macbook, I feel this is an Android problem? Any ideas??
There is a settings on Samsung Android devices that will disconnect the wireless if there is no internet. Think you must go into advanced wireless settings and there turn off ‘Auto Network Switch’
Thanks, I checked the ‘Auto Network Switch’ setting and it was already off. I also just tried my old Galaxy 2 and it works fine with my D800 and stays connected! I wish I could figure out how to get my Note 3 to work!
Anyway, great job with the app so far! I just gave you a small donation =)
It must be in the advanced wireless settings. The user that I’m referring had similar problem on S4 and he wrote this:
settings>wifi>advanced
turnoff “Wi-Fi notifications”
turnoff ” Auto Network switch”
Yes, I have tried that and it doesn’t work. I also tried going into the service mode and turning OFF the ‘wifi power save mode’. That doesn’t work either.
The only thing that works so far is to go into Airplane Mode, then turn on wifi and select the DDServerAP. It stays connected while in Airplane Mode!!
My phone is Galaxy Note 3, Android 4.4.2
Hi Robert,
I too have the d800 but, have not bought a laptop for time-lapse field operations. I have the iPad2 but, not sure if the new IOS will work on it, so I am holding off any new purchases. Tell me more about time-lapse with the DD and the Nikon d800. I have WeyeFeye with its wireless connection and it works fine, but has no time-lapse capabilities. Any suggestions?
Dear Zoltan,
Is there any setting can active the auto download function in the OSX version? I really waiting your kindly reply.
Regards !!
Ivan
What you mean with ‘auto download function’ ?
It means each time after you shoot , the file will automatically download into the computer, no need to press the thumbnail each time.
You can long press the capture button as described here: http://dslrdashboard.info/camera-control-left-buttons/
This will transfer the file from the DSLR to PC.
Can I continue to capture while transfer the file?
It’s work after I follow your instruction. But a big “Error” is the counter doesn’t move when I direct press the camera shutter . So, the file will overwrite itself. It only works for remote host mode. Any suggestion?
Please open a new topic in forum with the problem and describe it as it is lighter to follow and response there.
Hi Zoltan,
I’m running 10.8.5 and ddServer is 0.2-13. I got Mr3040 V1…so I flashed to DDServer OpenWrt MR3040 V1 Factory 0.13.
DslrDashboard will crash everytime I launch it. Any idea?
Thanks, Kero
