onOne Software's new iPhone application, the "DSLR Camera Remote," lets you use the iPhone or iPod Touch to control a Canon EOS DSLR camera via a WiFi-enabled computer.

onOne Software, Inc., announced a new application to remotely control Canon EOS DSLR cameras using an iPhone or iPod Touch. The new DSLR Camera Remote for iPhone application allows photographers using a supported Canon EOS DSLR that is connected to a WiFi enabled computer to remotely control the settings of the camera, fire the shutter, review images, and even get a live viewfinder preview. This gives photographers a new level of freedom when shooting camera angles where it is difficult to see through the viewfinder, self-portraits, or events where multiple cameras are set up and the photographer just can’t be behind them all.

Key capabilities of the DSLR Camera Remote for iPhone:
• Remotely fire a supported Canon EOS DSLR over any WiFi network
• Remotely control camera settings like shutter-speed, aperture, white-balance, etc…
• Preview images on an iPhone or iPod Touch
• Look through the camera’s viewfinder remotely with Live View
• Built-in Intervalometer for advanced timer shooting
• Zero configuration Apple Bonjour networking finds the camera automatically

Availability and PricingDSLR Camera Remote for iPhone comes in two versions – the Professional edition, which is available for $19.99 with a limited time introductory price of $9.99; and the Lite edition, available for $1.99. After purchasing either edition from the iTunes App Store, users will need to download a free application that runs on their supported Mac or Windows computer. This free application is required to communicate between the iPhone and the supported Canon EOS DSLR, connected via USB or Firewire to a WiFi enabled computer.
There are no trial or demo versions of the DSLR Camera Remote for iPhone application.
Supported CamerasInitially, in version 1.0, the DSLR Camera Remote for iPhone application will only support selected Canon EOS DSLR cameras. However, an updated version that adds support for a wide variety of Nikon DSLR cameras is currently in development and is planned to be released as an update to the DSLR Camera Remote for iPhone application.
