![]() ![]() I’m going to go over to my parents’ house soon and try my dad’s dSLR (which is on the compatible camera list) and see how that goes. Still got a bit grainy the more I zoomed in, but better than over the WiFi connection. I did try a wired connection, which definitely helped. When I zoom in (using the DF software on my laptop) while using the iPhone as my capture device, it gets really low res really quickly. Takes one more step when connecting but then you have the option to do what. and I would get the Lumix image but no video. I have set mine to 'Select on connection' - because mine was set to PC (Storage) and then it would always connect as a storage medium and not as a Tether. If I’m fully out the picture quality is fine. The mode is 'USB Mode' and (for me) appears on 2nd wrench page 3/5. UPDATE: so as near as I can figure, a lot of the issue stems from DragonFrame not liking it when I zoom in. Not as bad as what I was seeing on the laptop screen while shooting, but still way lower res than I think they should be. The individual frames are looking pretty rough. I thought that I had set that properly when I first started shooting, but I may have missed something. I’ll have to start a new project, I think, to see all of the cinematography resolution settings, as once frames are shot I’m not seeing a way to clean them up/change resolution. I have the export settings set to the highest quality on the slider, and I exported in MP4 format. It’s just a black screen with the info about connecting the phone to the software on the computer. The Mac version of the Lumix Tether application is also compatible with the same list of Lumix cameras as the Windows one: the DC-S1H, DC-S1R, DC-S1, DC-GH5S, DC-GH5, and DC-G9 models. When I use the DF Tether app, there’s no settings on the app that I can seem to access. Have you checked the settings on Dragonframe when filming as well as when exporting? It could be that.Īll of this is speculation of course and I could be wrong but it's a theory. This played a big role why I switched to a wired DSLR to Dragonframe, as it has very little internal image processing on the camera's side and mostly hardware.Īnother thing is the settings. Now, I'm saying this because in my previous setup using my iPhone with the Stop Motion Studio Pro, I could tell a small difference (albeit not as much) in image quality when the (studio pro) app is taking the images vs the default on board camera app and the default app always performs better in rendering images even at the same settings. ![]() So to make short of this, You're only using the hardware of the iPhone (Sensor, lens) and not the internal rendering which is what makes iPhone images looks stunning. To my understanding, Dragonframe as a software only redirects your command when clicked on the rec/shutter to captures your image, and Dragonframe as a software itself doesn't meddle with any of the phone's processing features and only the capturing device (your iPhone's) hardware if it makes sense. I don't know if this is the case, but it could be the iPhone's camera internal image rendering just doesn't work as well when it's recieving instructions through Dragonframe.
