So, your camera does show Bluetooth ON, unless you toggle it OFF.  Yes?

I thought the idea would be to have quick transfer of images to, say, an iPad, for pixel peeping or for the demanding children.  Also, Yes?

more thanks

but the FOTOS menu item shows that Bluetooth is OFF (in bold red), and will not toggle on.

 

Did you press the joystick "in" to turn it on?

Yes, really. Some people don't know this.

Okay.  Fair enough, but the message just prior was talking about toggling Bluetooth on and off, yes?

Anyway, it seems to be an issue with conflicting with hearing aids.  I may end up going with an iPad, mostly 'cause I don't want this tied to my phone.

Thanks to all

So, I had an extremely pleasant chat with Leica-camera technical man today.  

The hearing aids issue may be an issue, because the prior example was using an iPhone, whereas I am on an Android Pixel 8.  

In my case, the phone and camera do communicate and the camera is recognized on my phone, but any attempt to connect ends in failure.  SO, it could also be something within the Android system.  The only recourse offered, with apologies, was to follow the FOTOS app to contact the German App Team.  Could be worth it, but then again. 

I have decided I don't really care for now.  I may just link it to my laptop for the ease of moving files.  To be seen.  

Anyway, dat's the news, as it are.
