Recently, onOne Software jumped into the iPhone app frenzy. It’s not often that we cover an
iPhone app, but this was just too cool to pass up.

The new application is called DSLR Remote,
and here’s how it works: simply install the free companion DSLR Remote Server software on
your laptop or desktop computer, connect your Canon EOS digital SLR to the computer via
a USB cable, and then use a Wi-Fi connection to communicate with the software using your
iPhone or iPod touch.

You can control the camera’s shutter speed, aperture, and white balance,as well as trigger the shutter. If your Canon supports Live View, you can also get a live stream of your camera’s viewfinder. You can then view your shots with a flick of your finger,rotate the iPhone for a larger preview, and zoom in to check focus.

The app will retail at the iTunes App Store for $19.99. For $1.99, you can get a Lite version that will only fi re the shutter.Hopefully, Nikon, Olympus, Sony, etc. versions aren’t far behind.
