The latest update to my Canon EOS tethering app, Kuuvik Capture, is now available for Mac and iPad. The headline feature is multi-point live view availability on the EOS R5.
When R5 support was introduced in Kuuvik Capture 5.2, the release notes indicated that multi-point live view is not available due to firmware bugs. Later Canon informed me that these “bugs” were actually “by design” behavior, and not going to change.
Fortunately, I’m a sucker for impossible problems, and was able to make it happen what Canon declared impossible. So multi-point live view is now working nicely on the R5. The only limitation – shared with the 1D X Mark III – is that depth of field preview is not available during multi-point live view. This is caused by another odd firmware behavior. Speaking of which…
This release also works around the aforementioned issue when moving to a marker: if DoF preview was active before the move, it will be re-activated after the new position is set.
On the iPad, a fine-tuned gesture detection improves long-tap handling when a tap is used to stop flick panning. The original implementation drove me nuts by bringing up the context menu way too early.
Plus the iPad version sports the missing “local network” permission handling message discussed in my former post.
We have published “privacy nutrition labels” for the app. It’s rather simple: we do not collect data from Kuuvik Capture. We are in the business of making and selling software to you, and not selling your private life to some sneaky data brokers. This is one reason why the prices of our apps are what they are.
The update is free for existing Kuuvik Capture 5 users. We also offer an upgrade from 2.x-4.x to version 5.
