Nikon have introduced Snapbridge technology into the D500 and also some of their other cameras (Nikon SnapBridge is compatible with all of the latest cameras: W100, A300, B500, B700, A900, DL and D500.).

So you ask what is Snapbridge?
Well here is the lowdown......
http://snapbridge.nikon.com

For those of you who use tethering of your camera and LiveView and remote control via a wired connection please move into the 21st century with Nikon's latest good idea for wireless control of your DSLR via an app on your smartphone.

OK so you dont have a Smartphone! Shame on you! You dont p,ay games ;-) well neither do I but there are a host of great apps that aid life that you can have on your smartphone (especially the iPhone).


Currently (3rd August 2016) there is a Snapbridge app for Android phones. I have an iPhone and feel disenfranchised by Nikon's inability to produce and release an app for iOS (Apple iPhones) phones and iPad.
However they have promised to rectify this by the end of this month (August 2016).
Yippee.

So now you know about Snapbridge and that you can run it on your tablet or phone if you have Android device and soon if you have an iOS device.

This technology will I think change the way we interact with our cameras and also allow our cameras to upload our pictures to a remote place e.g. Facebook and other social media sites if you configure it to do this.

I would be interested inyour feedback in this thread please on this new technology and its use.
