  • Remote port
    • UDP port: 1900, 32768 - 61000
    • TCP port: 22, 64321, 15740, 60152

The camera’s image database has become corrupted because the camera turned off during recording. If you wait a few minutes for the camera to reconnect, the Remote Camera Tool will become operable again and you may be able to resume using the app by pressing the AF button or Capture button. Perform [Recover Image DB] on the camera as soon as possible after resuming the app.

You may be able to improve this by clicking the [Func] button in the Camera control window, selecting Display Settings - Live View Transfer Protocol under Common Settings in the Function window, and setting the communication method to HTTP.

On the iPad, tap (Settings) in the Camera control window and set the [Protocol] item to [HTTP].

• For a list of camera models that support Live View protocol switching, refer to “Supported cameras.”

If the application is running on the iPad in the background, the link to the camera may be disconnected.

In iPad [Settings], if you select [Multitasking & Gestures] and turn on [Stage Manager], you will be able to use multiple applications at the same time and the link to the camera will not be disconnected.

Note that this setting is not available on all iPad models.
