DSLR Controller AFMA is an app made to assist Auto-Focus Micro-Adjustment calibration of your lenses on your Canon EOS bodies, based on the moiré method.
It is based on the code for DSLR Controller (XDA thread) and as such runs on the same devices and has the same connection capabilities. It can be download from Google Play. Of course, your camera must support Auto-Focus Micro-Adjustment for this to be useful at all.
It is currently in alpha stage. I'm releasing it in the currect state because I will be out of the country for a while, and I won't be able to finish it up further before I go. The manual seems long and daunting, but once you've used it once or twice, it really only takes a minute or so to set up.
You can play with it now for free. Fair warning, it wil probably transition to a (cheapish) paid product if it ends up being useful.
Read more in the quickly improvised manual which can be found on the DSLR Controller AFMA website.

Very nice idea!!!
But... I don't really get it.
Isn't the app supposed to alternatively focus using the AF module (which needs to be calibrated) and using LiveView?
When I start the calibration it quickly fully defocuses to nearest and to infinity and keeps doing something - but it does not focus using the AF module (or quick AF)...
Where am I missing the point?
Cheers
Make sure you AF-ON and shutter buttons are set to AF.

problem with 7d mark2
Set up app with target on my laptop. Using galaxy s3 and android 4.4.2 the app crashed before completion due to a communication error and the camera locked requiring a battery pull. The message on the camera display was err 80.
Not really sure what is going on, but I've been having issues with the 7DII as well. This is a very low priority project for me though, so I have no idea when I'll get around to fixing it.
7D Mk2 with Galaxy S5 under lollipop.
App starts, DSLR switches to remote controled mode, The appdoesn't recognise spot metering, I switch to center. Then the app show the mandaoty dialog but "Start AFMA test" stays gray.
Same problem if starting with center metering (appart that the app doesn(t complain about it anymore).
Is there any debug log or test I can do ?
I have the full paid DSLR controller if that is any help. I quickly tried to shoot a few test shots with DSLR controller and it works.
Cool app. It works with my Verizon LG G2 and 7D (mark 1).
Where can I download the targets to display on a computer screen? My phone's screen is too small to be a target at 30 feet.
I too have the DSLR Controller app and it is pretty fun as well.
overclockxp, you can connect to the URL displayed by AFMA on you G2 from you computer. The web-page will display the necessary target.

Did you have to do anything special to get it to work with the 7D? I can connect to standard DSLR Controller just fine on a Droid Maxx and a nexus 7 but AFMA refuses to recognize the camera.
EOS 5D Mk3 / HTC One M9
I have DSLR Controller working between these two devices (1) over a Lindy USB OTG cable and (2) over Wifi using a flashed MR3040. But the AFMA app does not find the camera over either connection method (not sure whether it is supposed to work over Wifi anyway). Am I missing something or should the AFMA app also work when using exactly the same connection cable and camera setup as the main DLSR Controller app does ?
Seems Good > ThankZ
Feature request / suggestion
Hi again. (Got this App working over Wifi finally but still not when using a direct connection, although the main DSLR Controller still runs fine both ways - see my earlier post; any reasons why AFMA might not work on the same cables as the main App does ?)
That aside, when testing zoom lenses it would be useful to have the focal length set for each test recorded into the saved report. (This data is recorded into the EXIF for images, so is presumably available in camera to the App but it isn't currently reported.) I've just run pairs of 4x tests on each end of 3 different zoom lens and so have 12 reports to collate. Differentiating between the various lenses' reports is easy with the report titles but the different focal lengths' reports can easily get confused for a given lens.
Hi, there!
v0.12 + canon 7dm2 fw1.1.0 + galaxy s5
it is hard to connect, it search for device, but it do not connects.
only 1 from like 20 attempts. I managed to really conect (get "online") just 3 times at all...
Then, after starting AFMA it focus, then defocus, then calculate and suddenly camera get Err 80 and that´s it.
Any help, please?
EDIT: The same setup but with Lenovo k920 = Communication Error on the phone, Err 80 on camera.
I do not believe it is working at all.
Unfortunately.
My girlfriend makes alot photos from our kids. The folder was almost full some days ago so she moved (not copied) all pictures onto her laptop. When we look at the storage details the pictures still take about 19GiB but looking at the pictures we just see that there is nothing. I guess the folder is full with hidden files. Is there any way to get rid of them without using factory reset?
Nokia Lumia 1020
Did she use the Nokia software to do it? For reasons not completley obvious to me, Nokia stores the high-resolution photos (which will be the vast bulk of the stored data) that its camera app uses separately from the "normal" (5MPx) resolution photos that every other app (including the OS) sees. It sounds like she moved off the low-res images but not the high-res ones. If you check the Nokia camera app (instead of the built-in Pictures app) are the photos still there?
I believe there's a desktop app from Nokia that can retrieve those files...?

When i connect my 1020 to my PC i have acces to "Ordinateur\Nokia Lumia 1020\Phone\Pictures\Camera Roll" witout app.
Yes, but that's the public files exposed by the OS only. App files, including the pictures that the high-end Lumias take, don't seem to be included.
In the folder you have : Smart.nar (SmartCam), Pro.jpg (ProCam5Mp), Pro__highres.jpg (ProCam High-res).
I have purchased a Lumia 1520 , because it is greater than 1 inch , the Lumia 930 , which has a knowledge. I knew that the 1520 has the same camera as the 930. And the PureView camera it was me.
Now I found out that the 930 has a much more extensive camera . Things that only have the 930 pureview camera, and not at the 1520 device: autofocus, smile detection , Scene , Exposure Compensation , night mode , continues autofocus , video calling and video sharing .
How can i extract the camera main app from the 930 and place / port this into the 1520? Both camera's are technical the same. Why not this software options?
They have absolutely the same system app (provided your OS is the same, the latest) for the camera!
Check which camera app is launched as a default.
Also remember to update both OS ( to Windows 10 Mobile ) and that camera app.
I set the Store to auto-update the apps.
You may also look for other camera apps in the Store.
Has anyone tried to import the XZ2 photos to Lightroom? I'm having lots of problems. It seems for some photos it may have lost the 16:9 aspect ratio? Hard to reproduce, since the latest system update a few days ago it doesn't seem to happen anymore. Not sure if I'm going insane or if it really happened.
Then there's another elephant in the room: Lightroom Classic CC seems unable to read the date tag in the EXIF data? Never had this issue before with any camera I've ever used. But other programs can read the EXIF data? It's all very odd. Photo orientation seems to be interpreted wrongly too.
Am I the only one having issues? Now I'm using a third party tool to rename the files according to the EXIF data.
Btw., it's very annoying that every time you move all photos to your computer the counter is being reset... I know few cameras that behave that way. For good reason.
Switch to 4:3
Then you get 19MP
16:9 has only 12MP or 17MP
It's not that easy. With 16:9 you get a wider image, with 5500 pixels instead of 5000. So in scenes where you want to capture as much of a landscape (for example) as possible you'll absolutely benefit from 16:9. Also, the MP don't really matter. I wish the sensor had a lower resolution.
I've found the solution to some of my issues... Lightroom has problems when it keeps importing files of the same name, and the XZ2 keeps resetting the counter to 1...

Did you got a working 360 degree camera app ? Can you share the apk ?
