DSLR Browser for iOS

Build Status

Use the DSLR Browser app to discover and connect to your Wi-Fi and DLNA enabled camera and download your photos directly into your iPhone or iPad's Camera Roll via Wi-Fi. You can connect to and download images from more than one device at a time. You can either select your images one-by-one or opt for a mass download of all images from a certain device. The app supports primarily the Canon EOS DSLR range and the Canon WFT Wireless Transmitter family. However with a switch you can enable discovering other vendor's devices as well.
Tested with the Canon EOS 6d and the Canon EOS 7d equipped with the WFT-E5 transmitter.
