The primary use case of this app is to allow you to get images from your camera onto your phone.
So you can’t be more than a couple feet away from the camera.
#NIKON WIRELESS MOBILE UTILITY ON IPAD ISO#
No control of aperture or shutter speed, or ISO or well anything basically. control the camera from the phone – it’s rubbish also – not only can it only take small JPEGs, you can’t do much but select the focus point and hit the shutter. I can take a picture with my phone to give me the GPS and you know, I can set the clock pretty easy!īut it gets worse. But really, I have to destroy the battery for this. Sure being able to add GPS to images via the phone and do clock sync is very useful. So, a total disaster basically for Nikon’s first attempt (really) to do something decent. Not only could I not get it to function, trying battered my battery even with only 10 minutes use so towards the end of the day I was getting dangerously close to no power which is not where you want to be when a Typhoon jet is flying acrobatics in front of you at 600mph! I attempted to use it to download and share one image at an air show recently. The whole thing is just painful, slow and a battery killer. Admittedly part of that connection dance is the fault of iOS which restricts apps from interfacing with core device settings directly. The connection dance for bluetooth and then the silly switch to wireless for remote photography and image download. This article “ Using Nikon Wireless Utility with the Nikon D500 on iOS to download NEFs to iOS” is by Spencer Harbar:Īs most Nikon D500 users are aware, one of the “features” of the camera is “SnapBridge”, Nikon’s attempt to do something useful with wireless and smartphone connectivity.
