Smartphone controlled cameras

Smartphone control

— ability to control the camera from an external device connected wirelessly; most often, the role of such a device is played by a smartphone, tablet or laptop that connects to the camera via Wi-Fi (see the relevant paragraph). The specific functionality of the remote control may be different, but in most cases, at least a remote shutter release and the ability of an external gadget to work as a remote screen for the camera are provided. This provides a number of features and benefits that are not available with conventional shooting. For example, the camera can be installed in a hard-to-reach place where it would be difficult for the photographer to be. The displays of smartphones and tablets are larger than those of cameras, which in some situations is very convenient. Remote shutter allows the photographer himself to get into the frame, and you can take a photo at any time, unlike the self-timer. In addition, in this mode, the user's finger does not press on the camera button, thereby reducing the likelihood of “shake”.
