Tethered capture

Control your camera from your phone over USB, or over the camera’s Wi-Fi + Bluetooth: live view, settings and the shutter on the phone, with each shot sent back to the phone to review. Pick a mode and press the shutter once — the app shoots the whole set and merges it on the phone: HDR bracketing (3–9 frames), focus stacking (with guided manual focus where the app can’t drive the lens), or frame averaging for lower noise. The result is still a DNG you can edit as RAW, no computer needed. Hasselblad and some Sony models connect with partial features (app-controlled autofocus on Sony; Hasselblad focus control in progress, manual focus works); Canon, Nikon and Fujifilm are being added brand by brand. In the HarmonyOS version tethering is still in testing, without automatic merging. Membership feature.
