Nikon D3100 Support

[sheng]

Hey there, not that much going on here yet, huh?
I used the no longer supported Android app with my Nikon D3100. Worked great (only storing images on Tablet SD card didn't work). Well, I got the new app today and...nothing works. It recognizes my Cam via USB with an Samsung Tab S. But I can't capture and the app does not display any capture.

Will check however the D3100 is a budget model without a documentation for developers from Nikon and with a very limited set of PTP commands.

You only need an USB OTG adapter for your Android device.
As I wrote in the previous post D3100 will work but it is limited as it is a budget model.

[Poldinho19]

I have that Adapter.

What do you mein with "Limited"

My Xperia doesn't find anything via USB.

[hubaiz]

It is a budget model with no documentation from Nikon and only with a limited set of PTP commands.
No live view, no movie recording, no BULB.
Does not support the event command so there is no property change notification.

I Connect my Phone via Micro USB to the Mini USB Slot on the D3100 but nothing happens.

May i have bought a wrong cable?

Or is there anything i have to change on Phone or camera

[hubaiz]

You need an USB OTG adapter, not just a micro USB to USB cable.

[Poldinho19]

Thats what i got.

Micro to usb and then the usb to Mini USB Otg Adapter.

You have wrong USB-OTG adapter.

As Hubaiz wrote - you need USB-OTG adapter for your phone. Than you connect adapter to phone, and camera to adapter.
