In Topic: Network setting greyed out

03 October 2017 - 05:40 PM

I’ve just found the answer to my own question;
To un-grey-out the network submenu under the setup menu, you need the Nikon Ut-1 comunications unit. As far as I can tell though, it does much the same thing as the WU-1a but for a much higher price of £375!
I got my WU-1a wireless thingy for £25 + postage . Got it working with the qdslr dashboard app which I managed to find out how to make a secure connection with. Works really good too! Funny thing is! It lagged quite a bit unti I made the connection secure, now it runs smoothly. Doesn’t take too long to transfer photos from the D7100 to my iPad.

I forgot to say that I have tried to get a connection that is secure but on my iPad, when I select Nikon as the network connection, it say that it’s an unsecured connection. I’ve followed the instructions that say to press the button on the WU-1a for 5 seconds. It says the led wil flash, but it already flashes as soon as the camera is switched on
After pressing the button for 5 seconds, the led flashes red then green. It always says unsecured connection on my iPad, hence the reason for trying to access the network setting on my D7100. I wanted to enable the wps setting in the network sub menu.

Beautiful photos! I've never been on anything that big.

Here is, I believe, the video that HiFi is referring to. The "hot key" appears to be the Focus On button on the back of the camera.

Yes, that's the video. Sorry, I should have included the link in my original post. After some more thought, it doesn't really matter if I have to click on the laptop instead of the camera. It sounds like the software would be easier and more accurate than the usual focus chart on an incline method.

In Topic: AFS-S AFS-C when do you use which? (and different AF-Finetune)

Might throw in a try with the software, my approach was this 'aim' plate and 2 tripods.
The adjustment transfers, but it seems to be different atleast on 1 of my lens.

Did you use the software? And if so, how did you get on with it?
