Since launching the Bluetooth connectivity app last year, Nikon has now released an updated version to its SnapBridge Android and iOS remote access solution.

The new version enables users better control of their DSLR  and can easily share images and control their camera via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connection with their smart devices. Building on customers feedback, the SnapBridge version 2.0 has an improved UI with screen design and menu structure. Direct access to help functions from the app menu are also now available which can offer different instructions for each category of camera to ensure easier setup, navigation and usage.

Additionally, up to five cameras can now be registered with the device running the app. This makes switching between cameras much easier for those who own multiple Nikon cameras.

The app is also equipped with a new power-saving mode that controls the amount of smart device power consumed by the app when it is not connected to a camera for an extended period of time. SnapBridge Version 2.0 also features a location data accuracy setting that allows users to choose between lower power consumption and greater location data accuracy by selecting how often the smart device updates location data.

With remote access, camera settings can now be controlled from the SnapBridge app through remote photography. The live view display on the smart device can be used to confirm and adjust camera settings, allowing users to enjoy more full-scale shooting. Users also now have access to exposure modes (P/S/A/M), shutter speed, aperture value, exposure compensation, ISO sensitivity, and white balance.

Image storing is also made possible with unlimited 2MB size pictures can be uploaded. The app is available in both Android and iOS.
