Cameras that support an external wireless adapter (purchased separately): 5D Mark II + WFT-4A, 7D + WFT-5A, 1D C / 1D X + WFT-6A/B, 5D Mark III + WFT-E7A, 1 DX Mark II + WFT-E8A, 5DS / 5DS R + WFT-E7A, 7D Mark II + WFT-E7A (ver. ![]() Cameras with built-in Wi-Fi unit: 5D Mark IV, 6D, 70D, 750D, 760D, 80D, 90D, 800D, 77D, 1300D, 200D. Helicon Remote can only work with cameras that support remote Live View and remote focus control. Here I’m using an EF24-70mm F2.8L lens, setting near and far focus points. The software works well at basic step focus stacking. Added sound notification when focus stack shooting is completed HeliconSoft produce another application called Helicon Remote that addresses this. Hyper focal distance and DOF calculator Custom-built setups can give even greater precision. Using external steppers has the following advantages: Precision: macro rails can move the focusing plane by tiny steps of about 0.01 mm. Automated focus bracketing (focus bracketing, exposure bracketing and time lapse shooting can be combined in any way possible) If a compatible device is connected, Helicon Remote sends stepping commands to the external device instead of a camera lens. ![]() Wi-Fi support (Nikon WT and Canon WFT modules, Canon 6D, Nikon D7100 etc.) Although Helicon Remote lists the Z6 as a supported camera, I haven't yet given it a test. Wi-Fi module (either built-in or external Nikon/Canon brand unit) is required! Only Wi-Fi connection is possible, USB won't work. The workflow back and forth between Helicon Focus and Helicon Remote is pretty seamless, which is good because there is often a lot of trial and error to get the camera, lighting, and rail settings just right. Helicon Remote is a utility for tethered shooting and camera remote control compatible with all recent Nikon and Canon DSLR cameras. Helicon has created a test or maybe beta version of Helicon Remote thats SUPPOSED to work on Sony, and the newest version is supposed to work on the Alpha 1.
