PhotoIRmote – New Android Photography App
PhotolRmote allows you to control your DSLR camera using your android device. PhotoIRmote is the first DSLR Timer Remote Controller for android devices. It allows you to shoot your camera using the InfraRed sensor of your camera and an IRmitter (IR emitter) connected to your phone.
It includes Self-timer, Long exposure, Interval-timer and Count-exposures. You can also combine these modes. For instance, you can program PhotoIRmote to wait 5min, release the shutter, then take a total of 25 exposures at 2min intervals
This app retails for $3.99/£2.50 and you can pick it up here.

Warning
– This app requires an IRmitter to control the camera. Visit the developers website to follow DIY instructions to build your own.
– PhotoIRmote works with any smartphone running android (2.1 or higher). BUT some devices (as Samsung Galaxy S or HTC Desire HD) may not drive enough output level to fire the camera using a REGULAR IRmitter.
HOWEVER, if you use an active IRmitter (DIY) or any preAMP (which amplifies the signal) it will work OK!!
