Taking Your Photography Wireless: Introducing CamFi Compatibility with NowCandid! 📸

Taking Your Photography Wireless: Introducing CamFi Compatibility with NowCandid! 📸
Hello, photographers!

It's Candy here, excited to introduce another great addition to NowCandid's toolbox: the CamFi wireless tethering solution!

Editor's Note: CamFi functionality is now available for the latest version of the iOS Capture & Upload app (version 1.0.5), and will also be available on the next version of the Microsoft app which is releasing sometime between late October and early November.

Why Go Wireless with CamFi? 🌐

For photographers on the move, CamFi is a game-changer. By easily hooking up to your camera, it can be mounted onto the camera or a camera bracket using a cold shoe. Then, it connects to an LTE device via the device's WiFi connection. This means no more being tied down (literally) by cables. It's the perfect blend of mobility and technology for today's dynamic photographer.

Set-Up Made Simple 🛠️

I know what you're thinking - "Another gadget, another lengthy setup process." But with CamFi, it's different. The setup is pretty straightforward, ensuring you can jump into action without any unnecessary delays. For a step-by-step guide, be sure to check out our detailed setup guide.

Increased Mobility & Flexibility 🕺💃

Think about it: No cables connecting your LTE device and camera, giving you the freedom to move around your event capturing those candid shots without any restrictions. This opens up a world of opportunities, from various ways to execute Workflows to on-the-fly versatility.

Stellar Wireless Tether Range 📡

The wireless range on the CamFi is impressive. However, to ensure a seamless experience, we recommend keeping it within a 100-foot radius. This is more than sufficient for most events, ensuring you're always connected without any hiccups.

Full Compatibility with NowCandid Workflows 👩‍💼

Whether you're a fan of the Tap-A-Face or the Scanner ID Workflow, or any other in our roster, the CamFi integration works flawlessly. It feels like they were made for each other!

Important Note 🚫

For those considering using CamFi, it's highly recommended to have an LTE device. Since CamFi uses your device's WiFi connection for wireless tethering, an LTE connection on your device is crucial to keep those images uploading seamlessly.

To sum up:

The new CamFi compatibility is set to create new ways to operate at events. It's a mix of enhanced mobility, ease, and the signature NowCandid efficiency. So, here's to capturing memories wirelessly! 🥂📷

Till next time, happy shooting!

Hello again, my detail-oriented photographers! 🎅

Candy here, and welcome to Day 9 of our 12 Days of Christmas countdown.

Today’s spotlight is on a feature that arrived in November, giving you fresh ways to understand your event coverage: the Image Timeline Report & Unique Faces Count.

Key Highlights:

  • Image Timeline Report:

    View when images were captured in each event folder, helping you analyze shooting patterns, spot peak moments, and evaluate hired photographer performance.
  • Unique Faces Count (Post Group-by-Face):

    After running Group-by-Face, see an estimate of how many unique individuals were photographed. This insight helps you gauge how effectively you encouraged photo subjects to provide their contact info and become Participants.

By understanding shooting trends and estimating how many distinct people you captured, you can refine your approach for future events and ensure no one’s left out. 🎉

Check back tomorrow for Day 10, and remember we have a special announcement waiting for you on December 25th!

Hello again, my creative photographers! 🎅

Candy here, and welcome to Day 8 of our 12 Days of Christmas countdown. We’ve highlighted features for events, sales, action photography, and sports-focused workflows.

Today, let’s celebrate a 2024 addition that brought artistry and personalization to your images: Full Frame Overlays & Custom Backgrounds.

Key Highlights:

  • Full Frame Overlays & Text Titles:

    Wrap entire images with themed frames—like a party pics overlay, a jungle design, or any style you choose—and add text titles right on the images. It’s a quick way to give your clients something more unique and memorable.
  • Custom Backgrounds & Pre-Rendering:

    Photographers can upload up to four custom backgrounds. These backgrounds will pre-render in the image gallery, so clients can instantly see how their images look against these new scenes. From festive holiday themes to brand-aligned designs, you can set the mood perfectly.
  • Import From Previous Events:

    Have a favorite overlay or background setup from a past event? Simply import it for a new event, maintaining consistency and saving setup time.

These visual customizations not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal of your galleries but could also help boost sales by encouraging clients to purchase more prints and downloads that feel like true mementos. 🎉

Check back tomorrow for Day 9, as we continue counting down the best of 2024. And don’t forget, something special awaits on December 25th!

Hello, my team-spirited photographers! 🎅

Candy here, and we’re on Day 7 of our 12 Days of Christmas countdown.

We’ve already highlighted features that made action photography shine, and today’s topic is another sports-focused enhancement: GroupTags for Sports.

Key Highlights:

  • Organized Group Photos:

    Photographers can set up tags (e.g., team names, divisions) to categorize group images the way they want to, complete with emojis if desired!
  • Simple Selection for Customers:

    End customers arriving at the retail site can pick their group’s tag right from the start. No more endless scrolling through dozens of images to find their team!
  • Ideal for Leagues & Tournaments:

    GroupTags turned large sets of group photos into neatly sorted collections, making life easier for everyone.

By letting clients quickly find their specific group’s images, GroupTags improved the overall browsing experience and boosted satisfaction among team members, parents, and fans. 🎉

Check back tomorrow for Day 8, as we continue this holiday journey through the year’s biggest features. And remember, something extra special is coming on December 25th!

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
