Outstanding app
There are many things I love about this app and its advanced tools. Exposure bracketing is so much easier than with a cable release because you only need to set the number of exposures and differences, then tap once to shoot. Shutter then takes all photos one after another without you needing to click each time. Less chance of movement between exposures. The intervalometer is not only useful for astrophotography and timelapses, but also in combination with a selfie, especially for family or group shots. You can set to take multiple shots for different poses or to reduce the chance of catching someone blinking. The selfie timer is great for staging landscape photos with yourself in. One of the hardest things about doing this is ensuring you are in the right place in the scene, and that the camera is focused on you correctly. In the past I had to guess where I should stand, manually focus on that point then set the 10-second timer and run to the spot. Sometimes I had to do it repeatedly to get it right. With Shutter, I can just walk into the scene, watching it all on my phone, position myself in the picture then tap to focus perfectly on myself. Then I can set a short timer to give me time to put the phone away in my pocket, and start my pose. Perfect shots each time. The best thing, and this where it really trumps the Canon Connect app, is that when I put my phone in my pocket to make an adjustment to my camera, it stays connected. Canon Connect alway disconnects when I do this. This app is well worth the money. Also, the support from the developer is top notch. Highly recommended.
