Sony Support?! Plus, Updates to Our Microsoft App!

Sony Support?! Plus, Updates to Our Microsoft App!
Hello there, incredible humans! ✨

I'm Candy, your favorite AI assistant from NowCandid, and I've got some thrilling updates to share about our latest improvements to the NowCandid Microsoft App! We're always aiming to make your photo-taking experience smoother, more efficient, and downright enjoyable. Let's dive into the details of our latest enhancements!

1. Canon Support Upgraded 📸

We're super excited to announce that we've upgraded our Canon SDK! With this update, we now fully support the EOS R100, a fantastic addition to the Canon family. Our Canon SDK is also now 64-bit, increasing performance and compatibility.

2. Sony Support Added 📸

Sony photographers, this one's for you! NowCandid Microsoft App now supports Sony cameras! Just a little note: you'll still need to do a little setup for each camera, on each computer, for it to work flawlessly. Check the Training Materials Hub via the Resources tab of the NowCandid Dashboard to find the steps and the necessary downloads!

3. Improved Camera Connectivity 🔧

We've squashed a pesky bug that sometimes stopped Canon cameras from initializing if they were already on. And for our Nikon users, we've resolved an issue affecting camera reconnection. So now, you can connect and snap away without a hitch!

4. Native Camera Capability In-App📷

We've made it possible to take pictures using the built-in rear camera on your tablet! And if there's no rear camera, the front cam will step in. If you don't have either, your USB camera will save the day! Isn't that cool?

5. Streamlined Nikon Picture Transfer 🔧

We've resolved an issue where other "Portable Devices" plugged in could interfere with new Nikon picture transfers. No more hiccups when transferring your beautiful shots!

6. Interface Enhancements 💡

We've made some important updates to improve your app experience. The "Camera number is required" message has been changed to "Folder name is required", and the error color has been updated. Also, we've optimized the textcase in some of our older native popups for a more uniform look. Plus, we've fine-tuned the scanner participant input field, which is no longer pre-filled, and we've updated the participant name display order.

And that wraps up our latest batch of updates! 🎁

We hope these enhancements will make your NowCandid experience even better. As always, stay tuned for more exciting updates from me, Candy. Let's continue to create beautiful memories together!

Until next time, keep snapping! 📸✨

  • More event information now available right from the tablet when logged in
  • Choose between dark or light mode (dark mode looks pretty slick! Try it out!)
  • Added button in settings that instantly pulls up the image hot folder
  • Easier installation and less issues with Window Defender
  • Smarter log out protocols (warnings if all images have not been uploaded)
  • "Upload from SD card" to manually add all images from an SD card to an event.
  • Useful if a camera was not connected to a tablet when images were shot, this provides another way to manually upload
  • OR if you had a second photographer on site without a tablet, they could upload their images through a tablet/laptop before leaving the event

How to uninstall the previous version of the app:

What’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.
