Problem with Image Sync app on Apple

ksm · 05-02-2016, 01:24 AM

Those of you who have already K1, have you tried the wifi connection with Image Sync app on an Apple product? Is it working as advertised?
Because I tried on 3 different iPads/iPhone and on each I have the same bug. I do not see the image I am taking in the app. Black screen. I can move around the focus point, but I don't know what I am focusing on. I can change all the settings through the app, I see the photo after it has been taken, but I don't see what I'm photographing.
I have the camera set on single frame drive and tried LV on/off on the camera with the same result.
Any more ideas? Does it behave the same on Android?
Thanks

Use Chrome on Android

Thank you honey bo bo, but I am not using chrome. I had it installed once, but then I deleted it...
is there any specific setting on iPhone, that I am missing?

Not that I'm aware of. Safari works on mine.

I found out finally. it was not the iPhone issue, I had composition adjustment enabled on the camera. That's why it didn't show any image. I turned it off and now it works perfectly. It could be though mentioned in the app to disable it.

There are multiple problems with Image Sync on Nexus 5 with the K1. Connecting is often difficult and the move functions are impossible to use if you do get a picture taken. The icons appear only very briefly. This is on Android 6.0.1. Using Legacy DHCP seems to help the basic communications. Ricoh/Pentax dropped the ball on this one.
