A6500 connection issues

Post by oldtreeguy »

Hi all, i'm the newbie in town. I have reached frustration mode with my a6500 and trying to connect to qDD . All I have ever gotten is a spinning circle. By the look of a lot of posts it seems to be an ongoing issue. Is there any news of a fix. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Could I have every step and setting, all in order, it couldn't hurt . .... oldtreeguy

What spinning circle? On what platform do you connect? Maybe a screenshot?

The way you should do it:
- start the 'Smart remote control' on your camera
- connect your controlling device wireless to the camera wireless
- start qDslrDashboard and press the 'Sony wireless' button

be sure that the Sony camera application are not running in background as it will automatically connect and prevent qDD connection

Thank you for your time. I have connected, app is buggy but I will figure it out. Patience is key when something is still under development. Have a great day
