Along the top are what we will call the secondary camera functions. We will skip the LR Timelapse button for now and come back to it later. The Mode button switches between the various exposure modes. Host Mode will always be brown and simply means the Android device is acting as the host for the camera. Lv toggles Live View on and off. The Bkt button offers an advanced exposure bracketing feature. This is more useful than the Bkt button on the right, which we will get to later. Because of the improved functionality, I recommend using this Bkt button rather than the one along the right side. Focus Bkt is a similar function to the feature in the Helicon app. The difference is that you are unable to set start and stop points. Rather, you tell the app how many images to take and the step between images. The combination of those two determines how deep the focus shift will be. The icon that looks somewhat like a clock is the time-lapse setting. The functions here can override or add to functionality that exists in the camera. For example, on my D800 I can set up a normal timelapse where individual images are captured, and I create the time-lapse movie later or I can set it up to create the time-lapse movie in-camera and save that to the memory card. On my D700, though, there is no time-lapse movie function in the camera, but if I wish, I can have that functionality in the app. If you are shooting RAW for your time-lapse sequence, then I would advise against creating the clip with the app. You will want to, at least, do some minimal editing of your RAW images, so there is no sense creating the clip at the time of shooting. If, on the other hand, you shoot JPEG for your time-lapse sequence, then there is not a great benefit to creating the clip later because your JPEGs are already processed and the flexibility of RAW is lost (see the “RAW and JPEG” sidebar in chapter 3). Next is a microphone button. This one is interesting. It allows you to set up the camera to be triggered by sound. It uses the microphone in the device as the receiver for the sound trigger. It works quite well. Next to that is the Information panel. This will bring up a screen with your current camera and lens parameters visible. That is followed by the Image Review icon. Pressing this will allow you to review images you have taken. You can select to view images resident either on the device or the camera and, if the camera has multiple card slots, which card.
