I think the Image App works pretty reliably in my setup. Its unclear to me if you are connected via just bluetooth or if you already have a wifi camera and there are other problems at play. These apps allow transferring pictures and video directly.
If so, maybe try connecting to it manually from your smartphone's wifi configuration settings first, then going back into the Panasonic Image App to see if it recognizes that you are connected. Panasonic has released the new Lumix FX90 which not only feature a built in Wireless antenna but also a Android and iOS app from Launch.
I followed all instructions to the letter, and while the camera says it is connected to the phone, and the phone says it is connected to the camera, the app itself does not recognize the camera, and just shows a spinning.
Easily install the latest firmware updates to your camera directly via the app on your smartphone. I downloaded the Panasonic Image App onto my Android phone (Nextbit Robin with up-to-date Lineage 14.1 aka Nougat 7.1.2).
Panasonic LUMIX Sync is an app to operate Panasonic digital cameras via wireless control. The app will use bluetooth to tell my camera that I'm configuring wifi and will display a QR code that my phone can scan to automatically add the SSID/password to the wifi configuration on my phone - really convenient so there is no typing of passwords or scanning for wifi device beacons.ġ) Is the firmware on your GX850 up to date?Ģ) Can you navigate through the menus on your camera to figure out what its wireless configuration is (specifically the ssid/password to use to connect?). Firmware updates with the Panasonic LUMIX Sync app. It may be down and stopping you from updating the Panasonic LUMIX Sync app. Please check your wifi / mobile data connection and verify that it is working properly. My Panasonic LUMIX Sync app is not updating properly in my phone. Usually I make sure both bluetooth and wifi are enabled on my smartphone (iPhone7/8), first connect to the camera with bluetooth, then when I want to remotely control it or download photos (high bandwidth operations) it will request I switch over to point to point wifi mode. Verify that the app youre trying to install supports your android version. Hrm I don't have the GX850, but do have a GH5.
