I wish my Sony DSLR has some open source firmware. I hate it has to use the Sony app to connect to the GPS on my phone. I hate that my phone sometimes put the app to sleep and I end up with no GPS info.
Canon cameras are the same for GPS data. Their app sucks and is barely functional that I don't bother. Half of the time it would fail to connect or fail to transfer pictures from the camera to the phone. A USB-C to SD card adapter is 100% reliable. I hate technology sometimes.
At least you can download lantern and unlock done stuff.
Unfortunately it seems to be mostly for older DSLR cameras, mine is a newer entry level mirrorless. The project does seem pretty awesome though.
That's too bad. I wish framework makes DSLR and use open source firmware.
Yeah, it's infuriating how much potential they are leaving on the table here. My camera has a clock to put the correct time into the exif data, but it's not possible to set up the camera so that it does take a picture every few seconds or every few minutes. That should be possible right out of the box.
Omg, that pisses me off so much. I have to go into geosetters and update it again.
But no other camera is as good as the Sony mirrorless. At least not at this price point.
same with my sony mirrorless
I have the a7iii and A9iii. They both use two different garbage phone app. When I'm double holstering, I have to have both apps open simultaneously. Or else one or both loses gps.
