Hi Tim,
Just wondering if the user interface is customizable to suit every event theme? For example, if I have a particular event and my client would like to display their logo at the beginning if the app instead of wifibooth. Is that possible?

Some things are possible. For example you can put a logo over the live view of the home screen. The app is free to try with all features so just download it and see if it does what you need.

Hi Tim,
I will be using a DSLR + Ipad + Hiti P510l. Can I have a suggestion how to convert my Hiti printer to wireless and how to connect all of them wirelessly? Thanks in advance.

Hi Jinn you will need some software on a computer to make the hiti printable via airprint. I have heard good things about printopia

Wifibooth supports the following printers:
- printers that are AirPrint compatible
- printers that are shared by a DNP WPS unit (ie. DNP printers)
- printers that support printing via FTP (of JPGs)
Please contact your printer manufacturer to find out which route is easiest for you.
Printopia is not officially supported - it is software that would run on a computer and can share printers to make them airprint-compatible.

Great - how did you get the hiti printer working wirelessly, what was the trick?
Re camera you can search a bit on this forum, i've posted a few times about it, but: I would prioritize the cameras that can make outgoing wifi connections (infrastructure wifi mode support), so that they can connect to a router. Otherwise you'll have trouble connecting your iPad to the printer and camera at the same time. The two brands that support that are Canon and Panasonic. Canon DSLRs like the 77D, 80D are the range to look at. Panasonics you have to try the individual models - the image quality might be a bit poorer than Canon but the liveview will be much better and for photobooth photos you don't need the absolute best image quality.

canon T6 would probably be best value
if you are using a very small photo booth enclosure then the canon m3 , m5, m6, m50 would work. m5o is the best since it cacn work with pc's as well as ipads.
canon estore sells refurbished cameras for very good prices.

Hey all,
Thanks for all the input. Was tied up lately. Sorry for the late reply.
Anyway, I use a cheap tablet that runs windows10 to connect to my hiti printer. In that tablet I have the hiti driver and airprint software. And voila, hiti is now airprint capable. Lol

Hey Jinn,
That's great! In case anyone else wants to do the same, what software did you use on the win10 tablet?
