Lain402 We are testing this, it is expected to be fixed in the last few versions

This past Saturday, I ran the whole night under the new beta asiair plus release (v1.9.1) with my Z6ii as the main camera. Everything worked flawlessly - test shots, plate solve, plan runs, etc. I tested on 3 different targets, and played around with multiple sub times - 30 seconds, 1 min, 3 min, 5 min etc. All the images showed up on screen, in bin1, and were stored on my z6ii as well. MUCH improved from the live release, where I had the same issues as described above.

Hi ! I’m very interested in your results.

My Z6II work on the ASIAIR. But there’s a delay between the shutter release in app and the camera actually starting to take the photo.

Let’s say you choose a 30 seconds exposure. When you press on the exposure button in the app you will wait 12 more seconds before the camera react.

So a 30 seconds exposure = 30s + 12s = 42s in total.

Yes it’s usable but it’s not working flawlessly for me, especially if you have to PA in these conditions. I use 2 other Nikon cameras (D500 and D5600) and the react immediately when you press on the exposure button. Could you please test this for me and tell me how long your Z6II takes before actually starting the exposure. Thank you !

Lain402 To be honest, I'm brand new to the hobby and this was my first time using any of the gear (new mount, asiair plus, guide scope, etc). That said, I did notice occasional minor delays, but I don't think it was to that level (that i recall at least). When I was watching the plan in action, I do recall there being a short delay after the asiair said a sub was done and the camera "clicked" that it was done the shot. I feel like it was closer to 3-5 seconds though, and chalked that up to new user learning. If that doesn't happen with your other Nikons, maybe there's still some work to be done.

Aside from that - I didn't even try to use the z6ii for PA. I swapped to using my guide scope as main cam for that, as the Z6ii image copy time alone would make that near impossible (3-4 secs xfer per shot). When it was plate solving, there was definitely not a delay between when it took a shot and when the solve started.

When I get some more time, I'll try connecting the camera again and do that test.

When I played around in Focus mode just now, there was a delay on the first shot only. For a 1 second exposure, it took about 10 seconds to start the first pic, but after that i was getting a snap every 5 seconds (shot + transfer to the asiair). When I changed that to 10s exposure, it had a similar ramp up time, and then I was getting a shot every 15 seconds (shot + transfer).

Attention to the time: sometimes a poor connection in the app shows what already happened in the gear

Could you reproduce the problem and then upload the log in ASIAIR APP? (About -> feedback.)
Our devs will analyze it.

In addition, could you take a photo to show us the SD card you used in Z6 II? and the main camera settings page in the ASIAIR APP.

Thank you very much.

We are so sorry the problem has been solved, our ASIAIR team is working on it.

Hi !

1/ I’ve just uploaded the log from the ASIAIR app after reproducing the issue.

2/ Here is the SD card I use in my Z6II :

3/ This is the “main camera settings page in the ASIAIR APP” :

4/ I’ve uploaded a video on YouTube so you can see how slow is the app when connected to the Z6II:

Remember, I’ve been using others DSLR with the ASIAIR for years, without any problem. Everything is working smoothly.

But with the Z6II the ASIAIR is too slow to work with. Imagine having to PA or Autofocus with a 12 seconds delay ! When you press on the trigger button in the app, the ASIAIR first waits 12 seconds. Only after 12 seconds it’s start taking the photo. 12s + the selected exposure time ! Of course the timer is completely off as it starts immediately after you pressed the button.

It doesn’t do this with my NIKON D500 or my NIKON D5600a. Both cameras reacts immediately and start taking the photo without any delay, the timer is always accurate. I use my D5600a very often, it works flawlessly. The D500 also works as expected.

I’m pretty sure it’s not a SD card issue, it does the same with other brands. The SD I use in my Z6II is an original product bought on the Amazon’s official SANDISK store.

Please, check the data I’ve uploaded, check my photos and watch the video I’ve uploaded on YouTube. 不敢F墙的话我可以用微信发给你们视频！

Hi Lain,
Our tech analyzed your log, one of the control interface takes two seconds caused this problem. We haven't seen it before, and we also done lots of tests recently, but didn't reproduce this problem.

Did you try different cables? and restore factory settings in DSLR settings to try.

Lain402 Please also check the Z6 II settings and ensure the FTP and WIFI connection is disabled.
Thanks.

Lain402 Thank you, could you also check the wireless transmitter is off?
