a7 IV not connecting via WiFi; LRTimelapse won't open when connected via USB cable
Posted: 08 Mar 2022, 19:27
Last time I tried the Holy Grail method I was on a Canon 7D with a wireless connection to a Samsung tablet. The app was buggy and crashed every 15 minutes or so. The Auto NTC did absolutely nothing to the exposure. I wondered if the exposure didn't change because in Arizona we don't care about Daylight Savings Time which would have put the me an hour behind the actual Mountain Time Zone I'm in.
Now I have a Sony a7 IV with the latest version of the app.
I found https://forum.lrtimelapse.com/Thread-tim...-dashboard where I was able to manually connect to the Sony's WiFi signal with the phone but when I hit the Sony WiFi button on the app it says "Found Sony SonyImagingDevice wireless camera, can't connect."
When I use a USB C to C cable to directly connect it connects and I seem to be able to control the camera but when I go to hit the LRTimelapse button I get the error "Can't enter LRTimelapse screen - Image format is not RAW+JPG or JPG" even though both the camera and phone are set to RAW+JPG.
I'm nearly back to giving up. It shouldn't be this difficult...
Any thoughts?
