Took a while to figure out how it works – SnapBridge Review

My experience with Snapbridge, D7500 and iOS Now It works well for me and I understand it’s limitations. It took a while. Maybe this can help you make it work - Nikon has a great video to help you connect the camera to the first time - Once connected (paired) you should not need to do that again. So you will not need the camera function “connect to smart device” again. - with the camera and Snapbridge both on and close to each other, they will connect by themselves. The connection is evidenced by the Bluetooth (BT) symbol on the iOS device and camera BT symbol on solid. - when the camera display goes to sleep, so does the Bluetooth connection unless you enable the BT “send while off” function in the setup menu. When the camera wakes up so does the BT connection all by itself. You may want to set your Custom Setting C2 timer to 10seconds or longer. - Snapbridge only works with .jpg files. - if you only shoot .nef files, you can use the camera Retouch menu to convert selected files to .jpg. Then use Playback menu to select and send .jpg files to your iOS device. If Snapbridge “cloud” is setup to Auto upload, your files will be uploaded to Nikon Image Space. - some Snapbridge camera “Auto link” functions are duplicated in your camera. So both need to be on to activate that function. Think auto download, synchronize location... - Snapbridge download function only works with WiFi. BT must be connected first to connect with WiFi. You select the .jpg files on your iOS device and click download. WiFi stays on in camera and Snapbridge until you turn it off in Snapbridge or turn the camera off. - Remote photography works on WiFi and allows you to change P,M,A,S modes take pics and more. Focus by pressing the iOS screen display.
