It mentions controlling from android or ios tablet, what app would you use to do this and how well does it work?
Asked by: Tyrone
You can control the camera through an Android or iOS Table, using the Browser remote. It is not a specific App, but instead a remote that you access through a Browser. Page 123 of the manual goes over how to set it up and what it controls. It looks like you can pretty much change all the settings along with controlling zoom, focus, exposure and white balance through the Remote Browser. https://bhpho.to/2TDwsdz
