I took this Saturday night with my Canon 60D and my Sigma 150-500 lens, and also used DSLR Controller app on my Android Tablet.  I am not getting the Preview button to work..... does it work at all or am I doing something wrong? |

To be clear, what is the DSLR controller app, and what does it allow you to do? There are issues with the preview button; what is it that you wanted it to do that it didn't? FYI, in some situations, if you click the BBCode tab, and then the Preview tab, you get what you expected. |

I saw a very similar looking moon over our house tonight. You really captured the craters and such in fine detail.  I have been wishing for a Sigma 150-500 ever since I first read about them. I believe the Sigma 50-500 would be a really great "walk-around" lens for my purposes, but I read of several having mechanical/electrical issues and having to send them in for repairs; the 150-500 does not seem to have these issues and is reviewed to be quite problem free. Thanks for showing us what it can do. I have never been able to get the "preview" button to work either. |

I wrote about the DSLR Controller app HERE asking some questions about it. It is an app for controlling (some newer) EOS Canon Camera DSLR's You can get a much larger screen on the tablet (or it also works on smart phones). The cool thing is you can focus the camera from the app without touching the camera! Read about the app HERE - DSLR Controller costs $7.99 now while it is in Beta form. There are some problems with some different manufacturers which is why I bought the Nexus 9 as the Nexus seems to work much better. There is another app for Nikon and Canon called DSLR Dashboard which is free I tried it briefly but like DSLR Controller better. As for the Preview button I simply wanted to see the message with picture before clicking on Create Post. I just now tried clicking BBCode then Preview but that did not seem to work this time anyway. guess this situation is not one that works..... |

Thank you Buckskin for your kind words I think perhaps you are referring to the Sigma 150-600 lens needing repair? I had not heard that problem, but then I had not been following it since I have the earlier version. |

I just now took some screen shots on my Nexus tablet to try and show you what the DSLR Controller app looks like. I have Firefox on my tablet which will allow more than one tab to be open at one time. I have one tab on PEM (can we use PEM for Photoshop Elements & More like we used EV?) and another tab open to cubeupload.com.
I have one screen shot loaded to cubeupload right now, but since my tablet does not have a CTRL key, how do I copy/paste the link from cubeupload to paste here?
I have no clue.... sigh....
Thank you!

Right-click on the link and choose "Select All". Right-click again and this time select "Copy". Go to where you want to paste the link; right-click and select "Paste".

Thank you Sepiana..... but how do I right-click when I do not have a mouse for my tablet? Maybe I need to learn more how to use a tablet? |

To copy and paste using an iPad, hold your finger down over one of the words and the option "select" appears. The hard part is moving the little dots to encompass the whole phrase. The "copy" command should be above the selection once you let up your finger. Hit copy and it's copied. Then move over to where you want to paste and hold your finger down and "paste" should appear. choose it. to edit, hold your finger down on a word and a marker appears. Move that marker to your exact edit area. I don't know if other tablets work the same way. And I don't know how to move between websites to do this. Just learned something. Using the above instructions, I was able to move between here and AOL and copy the website address. I figure you could do the same with the photo's address. I have not figured out how to copy/paste graphics, but now I'm curious. Oops did not mean to put that in quotes and repost - I was just trying to edit. |
