D7200 No Record Button

[jacobmatthew]

I am able to connect to my D7200, but I dont see a record button for video. I am in live view, here are my icons on the left side

LV(red)
(camera icon)
AF
Off
(timer icon)
HOST MODE (red)
(LV with a small camera on a tripod, red)
(camera on a tripod)

I am connecting to an Android Shield tablet with marshmallow installed, what am I missing? Does video recording not work with the 7200?

It works but only when camera connected with USB and switched to video mode.

Anything on this? I posted last week that I did have it plugged in via usb. Please take a look at the icons that I listed that are being displayed when I connect via USB.

Again: SWITCH CAMERA TO VIDEO MODE. There is a button in qDD for this or do it on camera before turning on LV.

My camera is in video mode, still no record button. I have posted a video here so you can see exactly what I am doing

You will notice that I

- turn my camera to video mode which turns on live view
- connect my camera to my tablet via usb
- connect to qdslr
- activate live view mode in the app.

no record button appears

Any update on this?

Now read manual and ask your self why you didn't do it earlier.
Because record button is and was there all the time.

I have read through the manual multiple times, and If you watch the video I posted, you will notice that hitting the record icon (the icon with the camera on a tripod), does nothing. In some cases it will actually cause the app to freeze or crash. Because of this I thought I was perhaps hitting the wrong icon or there was something I was not doing correctly. I have done this process multiple times, hit the "record" button and have no video files on my sd card. I demonstrate in the beginning of the video that my camera does record video when not connected so I know this is a problem with the app or I am perhaps not doing something correctly. Please advise.
