Image sync, lost liveview after firmware upgrade?

DSLRnovice · 10-21-2016, 07:08 PM

When I first obtained my K-1, I tried the image sync app on my android phone and everything worked as expected. Right after the firmware came out I updated it with no problems. I don't remember live view not working then, but it does not now with Image Sync. Then I remembered updating it recently, so I located an older version and replaced the newer one. No luck. Live view does not work.

I have found that others have the same problem, but on mine the green button does not work either. So I am wondering if some glich has entered in by the 2 updates, and if there are others noticing this, or have found a solution.

Check your drive mode, it has to be set to single frame. Also, have you tried resetting the settings and also updating image sync?

Thanks. I reset the settings after going through and writing down my personal changes from the defaults. Works fine now!
