Tethering when the iPad screen is off

Tethering when the iPad screen is off is really useful for some shooting activities that don't need the iPad screen to be on all the time to preview pictures. It can prevent accidental touch, save power for iPad and prolong tethering time.

Hope these can help you.

    This is a great idea and we wanted to do this from the beginning if we could!

    But the problem is that Apple's framework for PTP communication (ImageCaptureCore) doesn't support background mode. So it gets suspended when app goes into background or if the display turns off. To make this happen is would require Apple to add background mode support for PTP cameras...

    Best regards,
