From buying the DSLR Camera to learning how to operate the camera in manual mode, capturing countless pictures, light trails, portraits, landscapes, flash photography etc., now to capturing stunning time lapses of sunrises & sunsets. You sir, have been my tutor all along from 2016. I am forever grateful to you. Because of you, I could revive my all time hobby of learning photography, but couldn't do it due to the lack of motivation and a right tutor. Until Now. Thank you.
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) I started this channel for one reason - to help people and your post reaffirms my efforts - TY!:) Photography is a creative outlet for me and I suspect the same for most. As we face various challenges throughout life, it is nice to grab a camera and head out to freeze time ... relax, enjoy, and have some fun!:)
RealWorld Yes I agree with what you’ve said, no matter how many challenges we face in life, it’s great to freeze a moment with a great photograph or a video. Here’s one of the best time lapses I have captured. th-cam.com/video/C01d5ME-TjE/w-d-xo.html
I watch Real World channel cuz it teaches me a lot, n also bcuz Mark (his name's Mark?) is such a nice chap. Makes me feel good just watching a nice person speak.
You, Sir, are an excellent teacher. I suspect you've already gleaned that from the massive amounts of thankful comments you receive. Please keep up the excellent work! I am a new "convert" from film to digital. Felt like I had to relearn photography from the bottom up. I own a D3500 so your D3400 tutorials are right on. Can't imagine re-learning all this without your assistance! Thanks again for your painstaking tutorials! You're the best!
Sir, You are the MAN! Your lack of hype is so refreshing! Thanks so much for not hawking products, those of manufacturers OR your own, (Even your NAME!) After a 35 yr photo semi~ hiatus, I find myself getting immersed in this new fangled digital photo~age and you're making it a highly educational and pleasant experience! One more thing I find astounding is that you seem to reply to every comment! Truly a great teacher and a Blessing! . Thanks again! Greg aka SMKNLZRD PS: If you ever go Patreon, I pledge my support~
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) Much appreciated!:) I started this channel to help a few friends and discovered others were benefiting from the knowledge share:). I have a strong background in technology, information security, and photography and decided to help others. The main focus has been on photography but I will expand into other areas of technology/security at some point. Why photography? Photography has always been a creative outlet for me ... the ability to freeze/capture time to view later is awesome in my opinion:). In addition, I see the big manufactures overselling their products to make money when most people do not need more whatever - they simply need a better understanding of the basics. Armed with the fundamentals, any given photographer with passion for the trade can/will capture awesome moments to satisfy their own creative needs ultimately making for a better world:). I do my best to help anyone with a question. We all go through peaks and valleys with regards to various hobbies ... welcome back to this great and wonderful world of photography!:)
I can't thank you enough for this video tutorial. It's amazing, that I have just bought a Nikon D3400 just a week ago, and was wondering if there was a way that I could do time lapses with it, since it wasn't mentioned in all of the description of it's abilities, and here I ran across your video in the suggested videos, of how to do time lapse photography with my exact same new camera ! lol. I couldn't be more surprised and happy. :-) I have saved this video by making it a new playlist on my channel, so that I can study it thourouly later on. I had no idea that my camera had an internal remote sensor, and didn't even know about that app for Nikon cameras. I thought that I would have to purchase one of those remote control things that you talked about at first. And although I have a good android smartphone, I think that I might still want to get one of those remote shutter triggers, because I have noticed that my smartphone will shut down sometimes even after I set it to stay on. I am more interested in doing time lapses of the stars and night skies, so I would love to see a video from you on fixing all the settings on this camera for that, being that I just bought it and know very little about it. Hopefully you will show us how in another video, to get the settings down perfect for that, with this D3400. Thanks again so very much, and I definitely went ahead and subscribed to your channel. Much happiness and peace to you ! :-) ✌
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) One quick note - the application will keep your screen active so the phone will not enter sleep mode:). Shooting the stars sounds like another good idea for a video ... stay tuned as I may add it to my list!:)
I generally record a 1080p/60fps video and then increase the speed in some editor. But this technique will be very useful when doing a night sky/galaxy time lapse for greater details.
Thank you!! Helps me a lot not only with the time lapse technique and all the settings in the D3400 but also with the app. I had it installed but wasn't sure how to use it properly for this purpose. Keep the good work!
I've tried to download the Remote Camera app but I get an error that the URL cannot be found. I went to my Play Store app and it doesn't pull it up either. Is that app no longer available and if so can you recommend an alternate that will work for my D7500 ?
_Visits another channel and see's a question about time lapse videos/photos._ *Googles time lapse* _See's a RealWorld Video in the top results_ For once I'm glad handing over 'all of my personal data' 😂👌 I only briefly glimpsed through the video but I do like the results - I might try it out myself since I actually have a spare phone lying around so I wouldn't have to use my personal phone for the job 😁 I'm trying to gather up some exercises to try out and simply get some more basic knowledge about the camera. This is one great example of what I think is a proper exercise 👍 Great video Mark!
I just got my first dslr and it's a d3400 thanks to you and your awsome videos!!!! Really truly you are a great great teacher. I've been watching all your videos and studying. I feel like a pro at the d3400 settings and such! I would love to request star shooting tutorial and the milky way!!! Thanks again for these awsome videos!! You're the best teacher!
Thanks for the post/feedback Natalia!:) Welcome to the channel and stay tuned as I plan to release more vids ... the channel will continue to grow and grow and grow (hopefully:)).
Another great video. ..thanks for sharing knowledge with us...the more I watch and learn the more excited I get about starting photography when tax returns arrive..so thanks again and keep those videos coming
Just subscribed, wish i had found your channel ages ago !! Excellent teaching, you make complicated things very easy to understand - many many thanks for improving my photography.
+RealWorld Something you didn't note in the video is that this app requires a phone or tablet with an IR blaster on it. Its not a wireless connection as in wifi or bluetooth. No apple devices have an IR blaster and the only ones I know of are Samsung. Another option for those who don't have a Samsung device with an IR blaster is the Alpine Labs Pulse remote that fits in the hot shoe. Its a bit pricey but compatible with the D3400 along with most other body's and works both with Android and Apple and once you program it to take the shots, you can put your phone away. Great video though. I've learned a lot from your tutorials. Specifically back button focus. Changed my life.
Thanks for the post/feedback:). I created another video using an OTG cable for those that do not have an IR blaster (th-cam.com/video/QF3gugula7M/w-d-xo.html):). Welcome to the channel and glad to be of help!:)
Oh, sweet. I didnt see that one. Wish I saw that before I got the Pulse remote, haha. Also, not sure if you're on facebook but there's a group dedicated to the 3200, 3300, and 3400. There are lots of noobies now that got one of these for the holidays.
Thanks for the info re facebook - did not know:). Please feel free to post a link to my channel in the group as it may help others (th-cam.com/users/realworld). I plan to post more vids on photography and will soon expand into various areas of technology including VPN services (always good to be protected:)).
Do you use any other prompts than those brief notes? Running time? Some details? Your delivery speed is brilliant and you always cover everything. I’m sure if you’d been around when I was first learning photography, rather than the moody older brother I had, my journey into photography would have been a lot smoother. Some 44 years later he's still moody, but there’s TH-cam now.
Thanks for the feedback Mark - appreciated!:) My paper notes are all I have:). Sometimes I have multiple takes to get the delivery down, and other times I try to clear my mind and let it flow. More often than not, I have multiple takes. I thought about putting them in various videos at the end as some are laughable. My journey with TH-cam started by wanting to help my brother better understand his camera:).
Time lapse photography very well explained. However I have Nikon D3500 instead of 3400 and it doesn't have remote photography option in the camera. Snapbridge can be used for shutter release but it doesn't have time interval option. Therefore, I am not sure how to do what you have done using D3400. Would you mind making a video specifically for D 3500 ?
Thanks for the post/feedback:). Unfortunately, Nikon removed the IR sensor from the D3500, however I believe the OTG cable method will work with the D3500 - th-cam.com/video/QF3gugula7M/w-d-xo.html
Such great videos ive been looking at entry level dslr's and i keep coming back to the nikon d3400 seems like its great and can do many things. Im mainly gonna use it for some video and some photos on vacations but i also want to learn the portraits, landscape, micro photography and more. Your channel is great keep doing what you do. Can you post a video soon going over cammera bags? Show various size ones maybe.
There are so many settings on these cammeras i feel like ima have to write some down but im sure after a while its all gonna be memorized with practice.
How do I shoot a time-laps video with a Nikon D3400 using an OTG cable with an Android smartphone? What are some free apps which allow me to control a DSLR for a time lapse photo shoot?
Peace be upon you everybody! Nikon D3400 intervalometer/shutter release Hello everyone, I’m an intermediate photographer with experience in 35mm film with the D3400 being my first DSLR I'm wondering if i can use Nikon D3300/3200/3100 intervalometer/shutter release (that got a Mini USB type b cable) with my D3400 (which got a Micro USB port type b) by using a mini USB type b female to micro USB type b male cable/adapter? Should it work or no??? Is that shutter compatible with my D3400 if i transformed its cable to Micro USB type b instead of Mini USB type b and plug it into the camera? Help me please to make my first timelapse 😭
Thanks for the feedback:). Feel free to follow me on Instragram if you like - instagram.com/realworldpicts I just started the account and plan to post more picts soon:).
How did you get no flicker? Did you have the aperture maxed out? All the timelapses I've tried on controlled indoor environments suffer from aperture flicker which is super frustrating! From what I've read it's due to the nature of the aperture mechanics in Nikon Lenses which doesn't occur in Canons
Been watching your videos for months and finally bought my first camera a while back, learned so much from your videos! I bought a Nikon d3500, but can I get a timer to work with this camera to take time lapse? I hope so as I won’t be buying another camera anytime soon! Thanks in advanced, keep the content coming :)
Thanks for the post/feedback James and welcome to the wonderful world of photography!:) The D3500 is a solid/capable camera:). The best method for time lapse with the camera is using an OTG cable and cell phone. I created a video on this effort which can be found here - th-cam.com/video/QF3gugula7M/w-d-xo.html ... a few subscribers have confirmed the method works with the D3500.
Hi, excellent videos thanks . This is q question; the link for camera remote app is broken can you please help to download the app if any chance at all?
thanks for the post/question:). the application leverages the IR (wireless) sensor on the phone to connect to wireless sensor on the camera. note: not all phones have an IR blaster (the galaxy s5 does (featured in this video)) nor do all cameras have an IR sensor (the D3400 does but the D3500 does not).
An app called qDslrDashboard works very well with the D3400. The desktop version is free but you have to pay for the android/IOS version. I have the android version of the app. Plugin an OTG cable and you can do time lapse like in the video. The app will allow you change the settings of the camera, liveview and a few other things. I would recommend downloading the free desktop version and playing around with it first. Make sure your happy with the app before paying for it as it wasn’t a cheap app for my android phone.
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) I just release a follow-up video discussing the OTG cable in more detail and using an app called DSLR Remote Control (has a few bugs but does the trick:)). I also stumbled over qDslrDashboard but did not get a chance to test it:).
Hello how do you set up a Speedlite 750 to a Nikon D3100 ? I have googled it but my camera setting isn’t showing the “pencil” icon to sync the Speedlite to the camera 😬 hopefully they sync with my Nikon being older
I believe you can use the 750 with the D3100 without much trouble. I created a video on flash which might be of help - th-cam.com/video/yH8sMLr8jfQ/w-d-xo.html
Glad to be of help!:) Flickering is typically caused by an auto setting in camera, so ensure you are using manual if you want to avoid flicker ... this includes ISO:).
Hi ~ I Purchased the oh TG cable and connected it to my Samsung smart phone but for some reason the app on the phone will not recognize the camera as being connected to it . what do you thinks going on?
You might need to unplug and plug multiple times (I experienced something similar). In addition, you might try another app or two or three ... some apps are better than others.
LOL - I received a good number of requests regarding time lapse and decided to create the vid. This was more challenging than I thought, as I had lots to say about the topic:).
For anyone using Windows movie maker - "Shotcut" is a fantastic free video editing software. It can do far, far more than movie maker and easy to use. Tutorials are on TH-cam too. Not mine but been using it lately and it's fantastic.
I found it after Windows movie maker started driving me up the wall. Shotcut is really simple to use, can even do green screen apparently, and fantastic for chucking clips together and adding some music, text etc. It doesn't have to be as hard as Movie Maker makes it!!! I got Adobe Premier Pro recently but haven't had a chance to learn how to use it. I opened it and went "holy crap". Need to watch some more videos lol.
Would you consider making a video about focusing, or getting the sharpest image possible with an entry level DSLR? I have a D3400. Most of my photos lack the sharpness yours, or others, have. I use a kit lens.
Thanks for the post/suggestion:). I will add this to my list as I suspect other could benefit as well:). Feel free to follow me on Instragram if you like - instagram.com/realworldpicts I just started the account and plan to post more picts soon:).
Thanks for the question Josh:). Yes, the OTG cable along with a phone app will do the trick (this has been reported in the comments on the related video) ... th-cam.com/video/QF3gugula7M/w-d-xo.html ... the challenge is finding a free phone app as I believe the other is no longer free.
I have Nikon 7500 camera I would like to download remote control but access not available on given link so will you please provide another link for downloading Thanks
The links stills seems to work ... th-cam.com/users/redirect?redir_token=-tBFh5BXEKh5UmCTB6R-ygg9xqJ8MTU2ODU1NTA5OEAxNTY4NDY4Njk4&event=video_description&v=vee7RCAVL9g&q=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Ddslr.camera.ir.remote.full%26hl%3Den
hey so im stuck at the camera settings part. I try to change certain settings but an error keep popping up " This option is not available at the current state of the camera / settings of the camera. " Help
Not a problem:). This typically occurs if you are trying to modified something but are not in the right mode. Check you mode (are you in Manual mode, etc.?).
Hi there! Great videos! I love learning about my Nikon D3400. I'm very interested in shooting a time lapse video but I have an iPhone and I could not find the camera remote app. Om looking at purchasing an interverlometer from Amazon. Do you have a recommendation?
Unfortunately, traditional interverlometers will not work with the D3400. Fortunately, you can pickup a wireless that will do the trick:). A wireless unit like this will work - amzn.to/2NXdqh6
How does your phone trigger the camera? Is it an IR blaster? If so I'm out of luck because my phone doesn't have one. I was really hoping you would explain how the cable worked. Regardless great video. Thanks
From buying the DSLR Camera to learning how to operate the camera in manual mode, capturing countless pictures, light trails, portraits, landscapes, flash photography etc., now to capturing stunning time lapses of sunrises & sunsets. You sir, have been my tutor all along from 2016. I am forever grateful to you. Because of you, I could revive my all time hobby of learning photography, but couldn't do it due to the lack of motivation and a right tutor. Until Now. Thank you.

Here’s one of the best time lapses I have captured.

Love the time lapse!:) Nice work ... I like the pull back and planes passing by:)
Thank you Sir. Looking forward to many more photography related videos/tutorials from you. :)

After a 35 yr photo semi~ hiatus, I find myself getting immersed in this new fangled digital photo~age and you're making it a highly educational and pleasant experience!

_Visits another channel and see's a question about time lapse videos/photos._
*Googles time lapse*
_See's a RealWorld Video in the top results_
For once I'm glad handing over 'all of my personal data' 😂👌
I only briefly glimpsed through the video but I do like the results - I might try it out myself since I actually have a spare phone lying around so I wouldn't have to use my personal phone for the job 😁
I'm trying to gather up some exercises to try out and simply get some more basic knowledge about the camera.
This is one great example of what I think is a proper exercise 👍
Great video Mark!
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Time lapse can be a challenge using cameras without built-in capabilities. Nonetheless, it is doable!:)
I just got my first dslr and it's a d3400 thanks to you and your awsome videos!!!! Really truly you are a great great teacher. I've been watching all your videos and studying. I feel like a pro at the d3400 settings and such! I would love to request star shooting tutorial and the milky way!!! Thanks again for these awsome videos!! You're the best teacher!
Thanks for the post/feedback Terra!:) Shooting stars/moon is on the list but will wait for warmer weather:).

Thanks for the post/feedback:). Unfortunately, Nikon removed the IR sensor from the D3500, however I believe the OTG cable method will work with the D3500 - th-cam.com/video/QF3gugula7M/w-d-xo.html
Such great videos ive been looking at entry level dslr's and i keep coming back to the nikon d3400 seems like its great and can do many things. Im mainly gonna use it for some video and some photos on vacations but i also want to learn the portraits, landscape, micro photography and more. Your channel is great keep doing what you do. Can you post a video soon going over cammera bags? Show various size ones maybe.
There are so many settings on these cammeras i feel like ima have to write some down but im sure after a while its all gonna be memorized with practice.
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:)
How do I shoot a time-laps video with a Nikon D3400 using an OTG cable with an Android smartphone? What are some free apps which allow me to control a DSLR for a time lapse photo shoot?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!! Love your channel
Glad to be of help and welcome to the channel!:)
Peace be upon you everybody!
Nikon D3400 intervalometer/shutter release
Hello everyone,
I’m an intermediate photographer with experience in 35mm film with the D3400 being my first DSLR
I'm wondering if i can use Nikon D3300/3200/3100 intervalometer/shutter release (that got a Mini USB type b cable) with my D3400 (which got a Micro USB port type b) by using a mini USB type b female to micro USB type b male cable/adapter?
Should it work or no???
Is that shutter compatible with my D3400 if i transformed its cable to Micro USB type b instead of Mini USB type b and plug it into the camera?
Help me please to make my first timelapse 😭
:) ... link to time lapse with OTG cable - th-cam.com/video/QF3gugula7M/w-d-xo.html
Awesome video sir.
I have Nikon D3400 and i was waiting for this for long.
Thanks a ton.
Big Thumbs Up 👍👌🖒
A very good tutorial Indeed.
Thanks for the feedback:). Feel free to follow me on Instragram if you like - instagram.com/realworldpicts I just started the account and plan to post more picts soon:).
Great video! Thank You so much, I have a Nikon 3400 and I thought that it was unable to take time lapse, again thank you!!
Thanks for the feedback Rodrigo and glad to be of help!:)
This video came out at the right time, thank you!
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:)
How did you get no flicker? Did you have the aperture maxed out? All the timelapses I've tried on controlled indoor environments suffer from aperture flicker which is super frustrating! From what I've read it's due to the nature of the aperture mechanics in Nikon Lenses which doesn't occur in Canons
interesting ... typically, flicker occurs when using auto settings. try to go full manual and see if that helps.
Another good video
Been watching your videos for months and finally bought my first camera a while back, learned so much from your videos! I bought a Nikon d3500, but can I get a timer to work with this camera to take time lapse? I hope so as I won’t be buying another camera anytime soon! Thanks in advanced, keep the content coming :)
Thanks for the post/feedback James and welcome to the wonderful world of photography!:) The D3500 is a solid/capable camera:). The best method for time lapse with the camera is using an OTG cable and cell phone. I created a video on this effort which can be found here - th-cam.com/video/QF3gugula7M/w-d-xo.html ... a few subscribers have confirmed the method works with the D3500.
RealWorld I will check the video out I didn’t see that before, and thanks for the reply it’s appreciated! :)
Hi, excellent videos thanks . This is q question; the link for camera remote app is broken can you please help to download the app if any chance at all?
Thanks for the post/question!:) I have not used this method in a long time and will take a closer look into a newer app.
Nice video. But can you explain how the camera remote app gets connected to the camera?
thanks for the post/question:). the application leverages the IR (wireless) sensor on the phone to connect to wireless sensor on the camera. note: not all phones have an IR blaster (the galaxy s5 does (featured in this video)) nor do all cameras have an IR sensor (the D3400 does but the D3500 does not).
excellent tutorial spacially editing in Premier Pro now how workout that 15 seconds for 2 hours equal 480 shots thanks
Very helpful, thank you sir...
thank you very much i really enjoyed your videos i don't have a camera yet but I will have it soon i am so excited
.The credit is yours
Glad to be of help/inspiration!:)
I really appreciate your videos, thanks for doing what you do!
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:)
just what I was waiting for, thank you very much!!
Thanks for the post/feedback Roy and glad to be of help!:)
is there an app that you can do the same with an otg cord but also to set the bulb time (for astrophotography)
The following video might be of help - th-cam.com/video/QF3gugula7M/w-d-xo.html
Love the info. Idnk about the nikon remote and time lapse for the d3400
is S5 have IR Blaster? if its have IR Blaster you can use the IR to act as intervalometer
oh mate sorry, i didnt watch the video too nice (idk what word i need to use) :)
lol - not a problem:). yes, the S5 has an IR blaster which servers as the trigger for the D3400 or any camera with an IR sensor.
An app called qDslrDashboard works very well with the D3400. The desktop version is free but you have to pay for the android/IOS version. I have the android version of the app. Plugin an OTG cable and you can do time lapse like in the video. The app will allow you change the settings of the camera, liveview and a few other things. I would recommend downloading the free desktop version and playing around with it first. Make sure your happy with the app before paying for it as it wasn’t a cheap app for my android phone.
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) I just release a follow-up video discussing the OTG cable in more detail and using an app called DSLR Remote Control (has a few bugs but does the trick:)). I also stumbled over qDslrDashboard but did not get a chance to test it:).
I could not find the qDslrDashboard app on either of the Apple app stores. Neither the mac or the IOS app store have it.
Thank you, amazing video.
Hello how do you set up a Speedlite 750 to a Nikon D3100 ? I have googled it but my camera setting isn’t showing the “pencil” icon to sync the Speedlite to the camera 😬 hopefully they sync with my Nikon being older
I believe you can use the 750 with the D3100 without much trouble. I created a video on flash which might be of help - th-cam.com/video/yH8sMLr8jfQ/w-d-xo.html
great video but how do you avoid flicker caused by, i think! , the aperture stopping down slightly differently in each shot?
Glad to be of help!:) Flickering is typically caused by an auto setting in camera, so ensure you are using manual if you want to avoid flicker ... this includes ISO:).
cool video thanks very much helped a lot
Thanks for the post/feedback Paul and glad to be of help!:)
Great video!
Hi ~
I Purchased the oh TG cable and connected it to my Samsung smart phone but for some reason the app on the phone will not recognize the camera as being connected to it . what do you thinks going on?
You might need to unplug and plug multiple times (I experienced something similar). In addition, you might try another app or two or three ... some apps are better than others.
Finally you made video. Thank you very much
LOL - I received a good number of requests regarding time lapse and decided to create the vid. This was more challenging than I thought, as I had lots to say about the topic:).
Hi real world. I would really appreciate it if you could do a video on how to take manual HDR brackets with the D3400. Thanks🙂
might make for an interesting video:).
RealWorld yes I totally agree :)
Thank you!! U saved my life many many times!! Thank you! 😃😃😃😃
Thanks for the feedback and glad to be of help!:)
I noticed the URL for the camera remote app is no longer. Is there another app a person can use that is similar? Thanks. Nice video.
Thanks for the post/update:). I will need to take a closer look and will post back if found.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
how about doing it in the Nikon D3500 which does not have an WIFI option. is there any way using Bluetooth
you can use the OTG method - th-cam.com/video/QF3gugula7M/w-d-xo.html
For anyone using Windows movie maker - "Shotcut" is a fantastic free video editing software. It can do far, far more than movie maker and easy to use. Tutorials are on TH-cam too. Not mine but been using it lately and it's fantastic.
Thanks for the post/tip Rozy!:) I will need to take a closer look at the program:).
I found it after Windows movie maker started driving me up the wall.
Shotcut is really simple to use, can even do green screen apparently, and fantastic for chucking clips together and adding some music, text etc. It doesn't have to be as hard as Movie Maker makes it!!!
I got Adobe Premier Pro recently but haven't had a chance to learn how to use it. I opened it and went "holy crap". Need to watch some more videos lol.
Would you consider making a video about focusing, or getting the sharpest image possible with an entry level DSLR? I have a D3400. Most of my photos lack the sharpness yours, or others, have. I use a kit lens.
Thanks for the post/suggestion:). I will add this to my list as I suspect other could benefit as well:). Feel free to follow me on Instragram if you like - instagram.com/realworldpicts I just started the account and plan to post more picts soon:).
Is there a work around for the d3500 yet? There doesn't seem to be a way to do timelapse🤔
Thanks for the question Josh:). Yes, the OTG cable along with a phone app will do the trick (this has been reported in the comments on the related video) ... th-cam.com/video/QF3gugula7M/w-d-xo.html ... the challenge is finding a free phone app as I believe the other is no longer free.
This is awesome video, it's very helpful.. u r great teacher. thanks for posting this video..
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:)
Awesome video. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the post/feedback!:)
Is there an other app that i can use because this one is not compatable with my device
I only found a few possible apps and focused on one that worked with the Galaxy:). I suspect others may work as well but would need to test them.
Thank you.
I have Nikon 7500 camera I would like to download remote control but access not available on given link so will you please provide another link for downloading
Thanks
The links stills seems to work ... th-cam.com/users/redirect?redir_token=-tBFh5BXEKh5UmCTB6R-ygg9xqJ8MTU2ODU1NTA5OEAxNTY4NDY4Njk4&event=video_description&v=vee7RCAVL9g&q=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Ddslr.camera.ir.remote.full%26hl%3Den
Thanks
I am so glad, available another link
Thank you so much for this video 👍👍👍👍
Would these tips work for the Nikon D3500?
The IR sensor is removed from D3500, so you would need to use a cable. th-cam.com/video/QF3gugula7M/w-d-xo.html
i learned so much, great job!
Thanks for the post Mark and glad to be of help!:)
I don't have a Samsung Galaxy or an I phone but a Motorola smartphone so will this mobile work with this if not then recommend me any other app
the app might work but i have not tested:)
Could you recommend another remote control app? It doesn't work with my samsung J5
Not a problem ... nice to have a phone with an IR blaster but many do not:). You might consider the following - amzn.to/2MPb6Jw
HI THANK FOR YOUR VIDEO, CAN I APPLY THIS TUTORIAL ON D3300
Glad to be of help and yes, the same will work on the D3300:).
Hi, nice video.. request you to shot in slow motion photography and share some tips
Great tutorial! Thank you!
Thanks for the post/feedback Andrei and glad to be of help!:)
hey so im stuck at the camera settings part. I try to change certain settings but an error keep popping up " This option is not available at the current state of the camera / settings of the camera. " Help
Not a problem:). This typically occurs if you are trying to modified something but are not in the right mode. Check you mode (are you in Manual mode, etc.?).
RealWorld yeah found it out right after this comment was posted , amazing you still read this so thank ya.
Hi there! Great videos! I love learning about my Nikon D3400. I'm very interested in shooting a time lapse video but I have an iPhone and I could not find the camera remote app. Om looking at purchasing an interverlometer from Amazon. Do you have a recommendation?
Unfortunately, traditional interverlometers will not work with the D3400. Fortunately, you can pickup a wireless that will do the trick:). A wireless unit like this will work - amzn.to/2NXdqh6
Did it work?
How does your phone trigger the camera? Is it an IR blaster? If so I'm out of luck because my phone doesn't have one. I was really hoping you would explain how the cable worked. Regardless great video. Thanks
