setting the app to connect
download and install app on your smartphone / tablet:
make sure your smartphone is NOT connected to a WiFi system but that WiFi is turned ON
on the camera:
now open the smartphone o.i.share app
at bottom of app there is a camera WiFi icon which by default is OFF, click on this then click on Easy Setup
press Scan
point the smartphone rear camera at the camera's barcode and when the barcode is read, press Install
in iOS, this will bring up an Install Profile on the smartphone - press Install then Install Now, then enter your smartphone's PIN code, then press Done
it should now connect - if it says cannot find camera and camera WiFi is clearly on, you probably forgot to turn off smartphone's WiFi conection to your home WiFi
tips
WiFi must be set to “Private”
seems there is a bug in current version which doesn't allow the “One Time” setting
on the camera, go to Menu:Spanner:WiFiSettings
smartphone cannot be connected to another WiFi
manual WiFi set up
saving photos to smartphone from live view remote control
only uses jpegs and png - not RAW files:
the application only shows and shares JPG images on the camera to your device. So if you shoot RAW it won't see those. If you don't shoot RAW+JPG, if you want to share a particular photo on your camera, you will need to go into the camera menu and “edit” the desired photo to generate a JPG to see it on your phone or tablet via O.I.Share.
can apply art filters only to JPEG and PNG files
maximum image size saved by the app in the smartphone is 2048 x 1536 pixels
it now automatically syncs your camera's date and time to your smartphone
