Transferring Select Images to Phone via WiFi

I recently jumped off the Fuji bandwagon and over to the Q. Working my way through the camera and loving it so far. 

 

Regarding the WiFi connection/Leica App....I've been able to connect and control the camera, switched over to 'Backup" mode and it worked like a charm.

 

My question is: Is there a way to transfer only select images from the Q to my iPhone after I shoot? I don't want every shot to jump to my phone which is how 'Backup' seems to work.

 

When I had my XT2 I was able to simple transfer JPEGS from the camera to my phone, do minor editing and post. 

 

Thanks!

I just select the images I want to transfer. I've never done it any other way. The app is a little fiddley, but it works well enough most of the time.

Finally figured it out...before I was shooting RAW only...switched to RAW+JPEG and when I launched the app there was a PLAY option. This allowed me to transfer selects to my phone.

Correct. You cannot transfer RAW files to your phone. They require a RAW converter.

It's a shame you can not transfer RAW files from a Q to a iPhone or iPad.  
With the Leica M you can.  This opens up a whole new world.  You can travel with a Leica and portable device.  Then transfer your RAW files and edit on an application like Snapseed!  Quite a powerful and lightweight workflow.
