Were you able to simply 'find' the D500's network from the Raspberry Pi app (i.e. This connection bit is the crux issue for me. Image taken from website showing typical screenshot when camera is connected
#Nikon wireless app for mac software#
This brilliant piece of software works with Canon and Fuji and Sony as well as Nikon cameras. It is also possible to use live view on the pi screen and I am hoping that during astro photography I can check my focus for pin sharp stars? My aim was to use this setup in the field or on a shoot to view the files. That is as far as I got as I have been busy elsewhere.

Or because the pi has four usb ports you could even direct the raw image files to a portable drive. To take a picture you just touch the shutter button icon on the screen and the D500 wirelessly takes a picture and stores it on the internal sd card of the pi. With the software running on the pi you have access to most of the buttons and control settings of the D500. Then you connect the D500 to the pi via wifi. You can use any touchscreen monitor but for the purpose of portability I used the official Raspberry Pi 7 inch touchscreen monitor with the idea of running both off a battery pack. It is all free and the bloke who wrote this has to be commended for all his hard work.

I simply connect to the camera via USB, which does come up in explorer just like a mobile phone or tablet.So basically you have a Raspberry Pi running Raspbarian software a form of Linux and using the instructions over at dlsrdashboard you install the authors software on the Raspberry Pi. I could test this further by reassigning the ranges given out by my router, but frankly, ICBA.

As that is the same range coming from my router, to which my laptop is connected via cable, the PC throws a wobbly, won't connect to the WiFi hotspot, but nevertheless temporarily kills the cabled connection while it tries. That is that you can't seem to alter the hotspot's IP Range, which is hardcoded to 192.168.1.*. At this point, given the SSID and the passcode, you should be able to connect, however, for me at least, and I suspect many others, there remains another problem. The former will most likely be displayed by your PC, so the real problem is the latter, however you can change it in the camera's configuration menu, before launching the remote connection as in the above paragraph. However, you need to know the SSID and its passcode. At this point you may be able to connect a PC to the camera via WiFi. Snapbridge then fires up the cameras WiFi hotspot and connects to it.

What I've tried doing is connecting to the D5600 via Bluetooth using Snapbridge on my tablet, and choosing Remote photography. This needs some diy stuff but can work quite well.Īnother possibility to solve this problem is to buy a commercial third party connector and do the connection via this and the software connected to it, like from Tethertoolsītw: If you tether it by cable you can also use just qDslrDashboard for this and have no need to do the router stuff.Īs far as I am aware, the above description of Bluetooth controlling the WiFi link is correct - certainly that's what seems to be happening using Snapbridge. The disadvantage of this method is that you have a small router connected via a cable to the camera which you have to carry around. You can also control the camera via qDslrDashboard. On the computer you qDslrDashboard to directly download it in a folder and for example LightRoom to monitor this Folder and autoimporting the images. With this method you reconfigure the router to run the software and directly connect to the computer.
The cheapest possibility to solve this problem that I know is to do it with an extra wireless router running DslrDashboardServer and the computer running qDslrDashboard. For our luck Nikon corrected this with their new cameras. If the camera does not receive this signal the wifi is deactivated and here is the main problem that there is no solution for this, at least none which is known to me.
In older versions, where only wifi was needed this could be solved by other platforms but in your camera series (like other of that time) Nikon build it with Bluetooth and the app sends a special signal to the camera every couple of minutes. As far as I know Nikon thought that these "smart" features with the wireless control of the camera and direct storing of the images on the device is only needed on smart devices like phones and tablets and therefore they just released apps for these platforms.
