AndreasAM Posted November 20, 2015 Share #1 Posted November 20, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) For those who are interested, I noticed hat there is an update for the app (ios9). Hardly used it myself, but it states, that besides bugfixes, there is the possibility to load DNG's and Jpeg's simultaneously. Will try and see... 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Hi AndreasAM, Take a look here Update for the T-app.. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
FeralCoton Posted November 20, 2015 Share #2 Posted November 20, 2015 i noticed. hopefully the app is more functional. leica has certainly been on the move recently. it is notable after a long period of no updates to software/firmware 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbealnz Posted November 20, 2015 Share #3 Posted November 20, 2015 But therein lies the problem. IOS9. If you have latest and greatest, then swell. If you don't, or if you have Android, then no dice. You can tell, I don't have IOS9, and I do have Android. Gary 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Gary it should work anything that is up from ios7, but yes android support would be nice too! At least you can use the web browser interface from your android? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbealnz Posted November 20, 2015 Share #5 Posted November 20, 2015 Can. Hmmmm, I'm an old stick-in-the-mud with this. I have an ancient (very first version) iPad, won't work, it's stuck on IOS5. I also have a new S2 tablet, latest and greatest. plus a slightly older S4 (both Samsung) phone, on Android. Ditto, neither work. Possibly it is just me, I have to buy Apple to get the App, and bear in mind I am all Mac with one sole PC simply for astro imaging. Why they have an App for the T, which is different and separate from the Q, SL, etc is anyone's guess. Nope, it is easier to sit tight and grumble, for now.

gbealnz Posted November 20, 2015 Share #6 Posted November 20, 2015 Plus, does the web browser thing work, anywhere, and more so, away from a wifi connection? I can't make mine do it. Gary 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't make mine do it. Gary I used the web one mostly (due to app issues, haven't tried the updated one yet), and it does work without wifi, but you need to set up a wifi hotspot within your phone, and connect to the wifi from the camera, once connected, open phones browser and type the address that the camera gives to the address bar 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelU Posted November 20, 2015 Share #8 Posted November 20, 2015 Just had a quick trail of the new version. The T stores now DNG files when remote controlled by the app and the touch focus works ok Tried it with my old iPad2 connected to my local WiFi notwork (no iPhone or iPad hot spot - the iPad2 does anyway not support WiFi hot spot). I did not find any way to transfer all photos at a time to the iPad. The user still has to transfer each and every photo individually. This unconvenience has not been solved! The new version is certainly a step in the right direction, but by far not sufficent. I am eagerly waiting for an Android T app to be able to control my T with my Android phone. I am not ready to buy a iPhone just because I have a Leica T! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted November 20, 2015 Share #9 Posted November 20, 2015 Just tried the updated app and DNG files now load to the T's SD card … which means the T camera can be used remotely to photograph e.g. a wasps' nest … with the camera / lens next to the nest … but focus etc from a safe distance. Look forward to experimenting next spring when hope to have either the promised T 60mm macro lens - or the 55-135mm T lens which can be used with supplementary achromatic c/u lenses. Can also envisage adding a Hague remote pan and tilt tripod head. The 'T' now promises to be a very versatile 'tool camera' for remote use. dunk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to try it myself, including using it at night for shooting architecture, remote on a tripod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted November 20, 2015 Share #12 Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) Yes but sooner or later you must retrieve the camera from the wasp nest and that's when the wasps will come for you. Last summer I crouched on my knees for hours in front of the nest in my garden and the wasps totally ignored me. Camera / tripod can be retrieved easily with little risk of being attacked. Remote control from a garden chair would be very much more comfortable than crouching on my knees in front of the nest The imaging possibilities with remote control are endless - especially with e.g. a Hague remote pan and tilt tripod head. dunk Edited November 20, 2015 by dkCambridgeshire Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wasps were usually so busy that they totally ignored me - especially as I kept still and did not disturb them. Welcome, dear visitor!

fcomarin69 Posted November 23, 2015 Share #15 Posted November 23, 2015 Good for Leica! Next fix but not critical: Able to select "all" or a selection of "some" then transfer them to the iPad-iPhone. But this fix is really worth! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 23, 2015 Share #16 Posted November 23, 2015 Well I tried it and still cannot get the T-App to talk to either my home wifi or to my iPhone Hotspot. I have tried all the good advise on this forum but as yet to no avail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 24, 2015 Share #17 Posted November 24, 2015 Well I tried it and still cannot get the T-App to talk to either my home wifi or to my iPhone Hotspot. I have tried all the good advise on this forum but as yet to no avail. Obviously I tried wrongly! With my iPhone Hotspot set, I can now take an image remotely using the T-App! Happy about that and I take back what I said about the App! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Leicanew Posted November 27, 2015 Share #18 Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) It's great to see updated applications and camera firmware but I have a couple of issues with the app: 1- When connecting to the mobile's hotspot, roaming still has to be enabled (this isn't new but still might be inconvenient in overseas trips where data costs are surprisingly high). 2- Since the last update, when connected to the camera and in view mode, some thumbnails show old images instead of the correct ones just taken. The issue stays even after formatting the SD card and resetting file numbering although the good news is that at least the correct image is saved when downloading the file. As I rename files when importing images, I didn't find any file numbers repeated in my saved images so I can't figure out what the issue is. I just hope these issues don't appear in future updates.

Guest Leicanew Posted November 28, 2015 Share #19 Posted November 28, 2015 Well, at least deleting and re-installingthe app solved the incorrect thumbnails issue. I am looking forward to seeing available a more stable and functional app update in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHobbit Posted December 2, 2015 Share #20 Posted December 2, 2015 Recent Firmware update rendered the T app useless for me. It use to work, but not now. But with Firmware 1.43, its working again. Happy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
