App crashes after connecting Nikon Coolpix L840

Postby dherrera131 » Sat Sep 02, 2017 2:10 am

iPad connects to camera's built in wifi but then after launching the app it crashes after a few seconds. Therefore it never connects the camera to the app.

Ouch. I believe this issue is fixed in the next update. I will invite your email address that you registered with the forum to Apple Testflight so you can try the update now before it is released.
You need to install Testflight from the app store on your ipad, then open the invite mail on your ipad.

Yes I got it thank you. The camera connects now though live view doesn't work which isn't a problem. But the pictures taken don't show up in the app. I can see the pictures in the camera but they do not show inside the app.

Ok. Sorry it is giving you trouble and thank you for vontinuing to give me feedback. It is very helpful for me.

Can you please try this:
1) kill wifibooth (double tap home, swipe it away)
2) go to settings app -> wifibooth
3) turn on only the first switch
4) open wifibooth and try again

Please let me know if that changes anything.

If it doesnt work please try the above steps again (dont forget step 1 to kill the app!), but this time in step 3, turn on only the second switch.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Ok tried both and still didn't work unfortunately. It's a great app so I might just end up using the front facing camera on the iPad.

OK I understand what is happening here.
Can you please try this:
Settings app -> Wifibooth -> turn on the LAST switch ("Alt Cam Libs")
kill wifibooth if it was already running
start wifibooth and try connecting to the camera

Any luck?

Hmm the camera no longer wants to connect to the app now. It just shows the "connecting to camera message" but never actually connects.

No worries! I'm still planning on using the front facing camera from the IPad. Thanks you though.
