And, of course, you can enjoy looking at your images on your phone screen wherever you are.<\/p>\n<p>If you shoot long sequences of images it may take a few minutes for all the images to transfer to your phone, but if you just shoot a couple of images or so at a time, the images can be on your phone by the time you\u2019ve pulled it from your pocket and opened the image\/photos app.<\/p>\n\t\t<div  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148805\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/SnapBridge-Opener_DSC1649-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">When it comes to making smartphone connections, Nikon is a smooth operator<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>How To Connect to SnapBridge<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>All of Nikon\u2019s cameras introduced after the D500 in January 2016 have SnapBridge technology built-in. To make use of it, you need to download the SnapBridge app from the<a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/snapbridge\/id1121563450\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> App Store<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.nikon.snapbridge.cmru)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a>, and pair your smartphone ready for use.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Here\u2019s how to get started<\/strong><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148807 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Connecting-to-SnapBridge-1_DSC1659-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<p>Press the menu button on your camera and go to the Setup Menu with the spanner icon. Scroll to, or tap on, \u2018Connect to Smart Device\u2019.<\/p>\n\n<p>Select Bluetooth as the connection method (make sure that your \u2018phone\u2019s Bluetooth connectivity is turned on), followed by \u2018Start pairing\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Open the SnapBridge app on your phone and if necessary, tap the cog icon in the top right corner, followed by \u2018Add camera\u2019.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148809 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Connecting-to-SnapBridge-4-185x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<p>You\u2019ll now see a list of camera types to choose from, just tap on the right one for your camera and then tap \u2018Pairing (Bluetooth).<\/p>\n<p>When your camera finds your \u2018phone, press \u2018OK\u2019 on the camera and tap on the name of the camera listed on your \u2018phone followed by \u2018Understood\u2019.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148810 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Connecting-to-SnapBridge-4A-185x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<p>You\u2019ll now see the \u2018phone start to connect to the camera, when the \u2018Select an accessory\u2019 screen appears, tap on the camera name again.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148811 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Connecting-to-SnapBridge-6-185x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"400\" \/><br \/>\nFinally, when the next screen appears, tap \u2018Pair\u2019 on your \u2018phone and press \u2018OK\u2019 on your camera. You should get a message on your phone saying that pairing is complete.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>How To Use SnapBridge<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Once your Nikon camera and phone are paired you have the option to select images to download individually, but it\u2019s easier to set them to transfer automatically. To do this, open the app and tap \u2018Auto link\u2019 then check that \u2018Auto download\u2019 is set to \u2018on\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>By default, it will be set to download 2Mp images, but if you want to, you can untick this option so that full-resolution images transfer.<\/p>\n<p>The images begin to transfer when the camera is turned off and you may notice a light flashing while it goes on.<\/p>\n<p>If your camera and phone have been out of range for a while, or you\u2019ve removed the camera\u2019s battery for charging, the auto image transfer may not kick-in immediately. However, it can usually be reactivated by starting the app and powering your camera on and off. If you give them a few moments, the latest images usually begin to transfer. Just in case, it\u2019s worth going through this little \u2018reminder\u2019 process before you start shooting.<\/p>\n<p>The app also lets you set the camera\u2019s clock to synchronise with your \u2018phone\u2019s and to tag the image with location data from the phone\u2019s GPS.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, SnapBridge allows you to control your camera remotely via your phone. There are two methods of control available, Bluetooth and WiFi. If you opt for Bluetooth your phone acts as a simple release, but if you use the WiFi method you can see the Live View image and you get control over aspects such as the exposure and white balance settings as well as the focus point.<\/p>\n<p>Both are useful when you need to avoid introducing camera shake by touching your camera, or if you want to be in the image.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148818 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Nikon-Snapbridge-600x400.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Nikon Z6 II and Z7 II firmware updates<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When Nikon introduced the Z6 II and Z7 II it also gave SnapBridge the ability to update their firmware. It\u2019s much more convenient than having to use a computer to download and transfer the update via a memory card. The SnapBridge app also takes you through the necessary steps on your phone.<\/p>\n<p>Helpfully, the app lets you know then there\u2019s a firmware update available with a message near the top of the screen. To get started with updating the firmware, check that your camera\u2019s battery has at least 80% charge left and put a memory card in the camera. Then do the following:<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148812 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Nikon-Z6-II-and-Z7-II-firmware-updates-1-1-185x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<p>Open SnapBridge on your \u2018phone and tap \u2018Go\u2019 near the top right corner.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148813 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Nikon-Z6-II-and-Z7-II-firmware-updates-2-185x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"400\" \/>Tap to accept and download the firmware update before tapping \u2018Download\u2019.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148814 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Nikon-Z6-II-and-Z7-II-firmware-updates-3-185x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<p>Keep your camera turned on and in range of your \u2018phone while the firmware downloads and tap \u2018Join\u2019 when a screen pops up to tell you that it wants to connect to your camera\u2019s Wi-Fi network.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148815 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Nikon-Z6-II-and-Z7-II-firmware-updates-3B-185x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<p>After a while, a screen will appear on your camera to let you know that it is receiving the firmware update file.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148816 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Nikon-Z6-II-and-Z7-II-firmware-updates-5_DSC1640-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<p>After the firmware is downloaded to your phone and transferred to your camera, your camera will show a screen telling you that the new firmware is available and ready to be installed.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148817 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Nikon-Z6-II-and-Z7-II-firmware-updates-5B_DSC1647-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<p>Select \u2018Yes\u2019 and then press the camera\u2019s OK button to proceed and watch the progress bars.
