Flu card problem

When I turn camera on the wifi symbol is grey but as soon as I try to connect my phone or laptop it doesn't turn white but it disappears. It keeps trying to take pictures and sends an error message of Pentax says it is not preforming properly. In live view the camera is working properly but the screen on other devices show the controls but nothing of the live view screen and is remains black. Thanks

It only works with certain browsers. What are you using?

We still need to know what camera you're you're using, not all cameras use a flu card.

Hi Scott. Have your tried using Safari or Firefox on your MacBook Pro? Regardless of that, the fact that it also doesn’t work on your phone suggests to me that there might be a fault on the card.

I assume that you’ve successfully made a WiFi connection to the MacBook, by the way. It won’t necessarily automatically connect, especially if you’re already connected to another WiFi network. What information are you seeing in Settings?

Yes if has connected as I can hear the shutter active when I click on the shutter button. I will try Firefox as I hear it is a good system. I will advise. Thanks for the help

I guess it’s fairly clear from that, that there’s a problem with the card itself.

Have you tried resetting the card’s communication settings (p14 of the Ricoh guide, here)?
