CamRanger from Intro2020 is a stand-alone device that connects to select Canon or Nikon DLSR cameras with a provided USB cable to create an ad-hoc Wi-Fi network that your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch can then connect to. Together with the associated free iOS app, CamRanger allows users to control their cameras remotely see the live view feed when their camera is placed in remote locations. “For macro photography the touch screen focus facility gives amazing control that can be fine-tuned with manual focus adjustment, all via your iOS (iPad, iPhone, iPod touch) screen,” the company says. Where exposure control is important, you can adjust your aperture, shutter speed and ISO settings via the touch screen and add exposure compensation where required. The CamRanger device is about the size of a smartphone and is powered by a rechargeable, replaceable battery. Its size and portability allows CamRanger to be used in a variety of settings and it does not need any wireless networks to operate as it creates its own virtual network to communicate wirelessly with the app installed on your Apple iOS device. CamRanger is available from early December and carries a suggested retail price of £269.99. The associated app is free.

For Macro photography the touch screen focus facility gives amazing control that can be fine-tuned with manual focus adjustment, all via your iOS (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) screen and a great Focus Stacking feature will help create ideal images for editing in your Focus Stacking application to create huge depth of focus.
