DSLR Cam. Remote 1.1 soon

After an unexpected delay, onOne says it has at last submitted DSLR Camera Remote 1.1 to the App Store. The update was originally intended to debut in mid-July, but was postponed due to the need to test all functions with every supported camera. Central to v1.1 is support for Nikon cameras, including the D40 and D40x; the D60, D80 and D90; the D3 and D3x; the D200, D300 and D700, and lastly the D5000. Bulb mode is not an option with any Nikon camera, but all LiveView-capable models should allow live autofocus.

AF during LiveView is one of several new options, among them a burst mode for compatible cameras, and auto-bracketing, mainly useful when composing HDR images. Supported Canon cameras now include the 500D, T1i and Kiss X2, and RAW+JPG combinations are no longer treated as one entity. Other changes include a better horizontal view, a new naming system for images, and the ability to auto-import files into Lightroom. The app's matching server software now automatically checks for updates.

The new DSLR Camera Remote should be available before the end of the month, possibly as soon as this week, depending on Apple's approval schedule. The Lite version is $2, while Professional costs $10.
