It takes around 15 seconds for each image to be downloaded to the iPad. In either mode, images are stored on both card and iPad and displayed on the smart device. Take photos lets you operate the camera remotely via the iPad (WMAU mode) or on camera via the shutter button (Camera mode). (For Android, use the Google Play service.) The utility is free. Download the app for iOS in iTunes (not the App Store). Now you’re ready for the next step: working with Nikon’s Wireless Mobile Adapter Utility (WMAU). I wirelessly triggered the tripod-mounted Nikon D600 by way of the iPad and WU-1b. The flash was triggered via the Phottix Odin radio remote system. Using my iPad, I set up this still life on a homemade sweep table, with one SB-900 bounced off the ceiling, on the left, and a second SB-900 on the floor and aimed into the wall behind the set.

The applicable network to be selected is recognizable as “Nikon_WU.” (Note: The instructions say you should select the network before activating the WPS button, but I’ve found it works either way-and saves a little time if you do as I outlined.) It may take a moment for the device to detect the network settings generated by the adapter. Next, go to “Settings” on the iPad, then “Wi-Fi” to select the mobile adapter SSID (Service Set IDentifier) wireless network. When this happens, press the small WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button toward the bottom of the adapter and hold it until the indicator flashes red and green. Now, turn the camera on-the adapter will rapidly flash green initially, and then slow its pace. Next, plug the wireless adapter into the camera’s USB port (on the left side, under the large protective cover). (Note: Instructions for Android devices and smartphones may differ slightly.) But also first charge the smart device, or the process will be interrupted when power drops below a set level (you can adjust that lower-but I recommend using the defaults). The adapter draws power from the camera, so use a fresh battery.

Insert a memory card (preferably freshly formatted) in the camera, since captured images are first stored on the card, then the smart device. It requires the Nikon Wireless Mobile Adapter Utility app (a free download).īefore you begin, you’ll need to do a few things. The Nikon WU-1b Wireless Mobile Adapter works with the Nikon D600 and Nikon 1 V2 and operates with smart iOS and Android tablets and phones.
