Olympus Image Share

Have any UHH members who use an Olympus M43 camera have any experience with the Olympus Share App.
I have tried several times to use the app but have little success, sometimes it works OK and on other occasions, it just won't play ball.
Can anyone help, please.

I do. Yes there’s a step by step process you must follow without variance or it won’t function as you want. What exactly are you wanting to accomplish? Downloading via Oly wifi to a phone or tablet?

What are you trying to do with it? I use it all the time... very effective for me. Details?

I am trying to transfer my photographs to my phone "on the go" while out and about so when I get home I can view them on my phone.

I want to transfer my photographs from my camera to my phone as I take them.
I am able to do this later but I keep losing the wifi connection because my home wifi cuts in an prevents the Image share working.

If you have two competing WiFis maybe tell your phone to ignore the home WiFi? That will force you to un-ignore it later but might work. I’d also suggest: by keeping the link from camera to phone active whilst shooting just because it will suck battery power. I usually take my pics then upload to phone all at once, culling out bad pics. Also the system does not work with raw, so I shoot small jpegs and raw in instances where I want to upload to a phone (social media while on a trip, etc.).

This is precisely how I handle it. So I get no competing wifi and shoot both raw and jpeg. I cull and review the jpegs and then process the raw keepers. I also agree with leaving wifi off when shooting to save battery power. We think alike.
