jrk Posted March 20, 2016 Share #1 Posted March 20, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm new to the Q. My experiences so far have been positive, but I'm confounded by the wifi image transfer behavior. It seems that there are two modes: Remote Control Backup Great, this makes sense and mirrors what I expect: one mode is tethered control over a remote camera, the other lets you just download photos from it. Every similar thing I've seen allows selection of photos from the existing roll in "Backup" or equivalent mode, for example using the app to pick and choose which already-shot photos to transfer to the phone. The Leica app, meanwhile, only seems capable of transferring shots taken while the camera is actively connected to the app in backup mode. Is this true? This is a bizarre limitation, and doesn't fit what I assume to be the common model of shooting un-tethered, then periodically squirting a few shots over to the phone to tweak or share while on the go. Pointers to an obvious setting I'm missing—or confirmation that I'm not crazy—welcome. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

asimplefarmer Posted March 20, 2016 Share #2 Posted March 20, 2016 On the Q, select remote control, go to your phone, select the Q's wifi hotspot, then With the Leica Q app, connect to your Q, the second option allows you to browse the photos already shot. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete McGill Posted March 22, 2016 Share #3 Posted March 22, 2016 If you are in Remote Control mode you can see your images. There is a download button that will download the images you want to your camera roll and you can pick them from there using Photos, Lightroom Mobile, etc. JPEGs only and I'm not sure of the resolution. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucerne Posted March 22, 2016 Share #4 Posted March 22, 2016 Pete, and Jrk. they are full resolution, but only JPEG. I use a variety of free apps on my iPad to create very presentable images. Also consider that your phone or tablet is able to back up these images to cloud storage and can be brought back to laptops etc later. . Lots of flexibility.

AidanH Posted March 24, 2016 Share #5 Posted March 24, 2016 jrk — I've had the same frustrations with the app. I can connect to my iPhone or iPad just fine, use remote control mode fine, but I can never access anything other than an empty screen when using Backup mode :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloud storage is preferred in these days. very convenient to browser them on different devices. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The resolution is slighted decreased after transfer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
