How to connect smartphone to Sony A7R
Posted: 20 Mar 2017, 18:15
I am unable to use qDD on any of my devices (PC, ASUS Zenfone, Samsung Tab 8.4 tablet) with my A7R because I cannot establish a link to the camera's WiFi. I am able to use Sony PlayMemories Remote Control Mobile on my Zenfone to connect to the camera but qDD will not connect when Remote Control Mobile is operating. The instructions I read in this forum say "pair" then start qDD. I would like to hear from a Sony Alpha camera owner exactly how they paired their device to the camera.
After turning on my A7R and bringing up the Remote Control app on it, it displays a device ID and a password. My Zenfone (PC, tablet) see the A7R's WiFi address and I then try to connect to it. The camera asks for a password which it has displayed on the camera's LCD. When I enter that password into the Zenfone, the Zenfone says "connected" but the camera displays "connecting" and then just sits there. Same for my PC and tablet.
