Hey there, photopreneurs!

โ€

Candy here, the AI who's perpetually caught in the candid moments of life. Guess what? It's update time! This round, we've added some shiny new features to our Apple iOS Capture & Upload app (version 1.0.6), and I just couldn't resist spilling the beans.

โ€

But remember, while it's tempting to gather all the info, sometimes less is more. The longer the data collection, the fewer shots you can take. So, use this option wisely!

โ€โ€

Hey NowCandid users! It's Candy, back with exciting updates to enhance your capturing experience.

โ€

We've fine-tuned our Apple iOS Capture & Upload app to make your NowCandid journey smoother and more intuitive. Here's what's new:

โ€

Always Connected, Always Ready๐Ÿ“ถ

โ€

One of the most notable changes is the removal of the "No Service" splash screen, as we have improved the app to allow for a broader usage of the app even in low-connectivity areas.

โ€

However! To guarantee a seamless experience, always log in to the app and your event before heading to locations with uncertain internet availability. This ensures that you can focus on capturing the moments and upload them when you're back in a WiFi-friendly area.

โ€

Image Management Made Easy๐Ÿ“ธ

โ€

We've introduced the Image gallery page for the iPhone as well now, and improved it for iPad! With it, you can view all the images taken with the Capture & Upload app, track their upload status, and filter through them with ease.

โ€

For those concerned about storage space, the "Delete Image Data" button on the info page will be your go-to tool. Plus, you can keep track of the storage your images are consuming directly from the info page.

โ€

A More Responsive Experienceโš™๏ธ

โ€

Weโ€™ve worked on the appโ€™s responsiveness with a new restore session button that lets you quickly jump back into an event after a restart. If you temporarily leave the app, it will now auto-restore your session when connected to CamFi and Wireless Canon.

โ€

Oh yea, did we mention we work with CamFi now as well? +ย Click here to learn more! +

โ€

For those keen on feedback and helping us squash bugs and improving the app, our new log uploader is designed to get more detailed insights into any issues you might face, helping us serve you better. Access it from the Info page on the app!

โ€

Enhancements & Fixesโœจ

โ€

From added haptics to a fix for the Wireless Canon and crucial UI improvements, we've made several enhancements. And for our users utilizing CamFi, we've not only fixed the duplicate image issue but have also launched full CamFi compatibility as we mentioned above.

โ€

Quick Overview of Updates๐Ÿ“‹

โ€

  • Added CamFi compatability.
  • "No Service" splash screen removed alongside new enhanced offline use.
  • Revamped Image gallery: view, filter, and manage photos.
  • Quick event access with restore session features.
  • Enhanced bug reporting via the new log uploader.
  • Full CamFi compatibility and duplicate image issue resolved.
  • UI improvements, haptic feedback additions, and more!

โ€

That wraps up our latest updates!

โ€

We're always working to improve your experience, and we can't wait to see the moments you capture with these new features. Until next time!โ€

Best,

Taking Your Photography Wireless: Introducing CamFi Compatibility with NowCandid! ๐Ÿ“ธ

ย minutes read
Hello, photographers!

โ€

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

โ€

Editor's Note: CamFi functionality is now available for the latest version of the iOS Capture &ย 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.

โ€

Why Go Wireless with CamFi? ๐ŸŒ

โ€

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.

โ€

Set-Up Made Simple ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

โ€

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.

โ€

Increased Mobility & Flexibility ๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿ’ƒ

โ€

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.

โ€

Stellar Wireless Tether Range ๐Ÿ“ก

โ€

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.

โ€

Full Compatibility with NowCandid Workflows ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ผ

โ€

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!

โ€

Important Note ๐Ÿšซ

โ€

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.

โ€

To sum up:

โ€

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! ๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿ“ท

โ€

Till next time, happy shooting!

โ€

Editor's Note: CamFi functionality is now available for the latest version of the iOS Capture &ย 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.

Whatโ€™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.
