Wireless connection
You can do wireless tethering on the IQ4 over Wi-Fi without any need for
cables. The feature will facilitate a fast preview of the captured images in
Capture One while a transfer of the full-sized raw image can happen in
background. The feature requires that the captured raw files are also saved to
a memory card in the IQ4 in order to provide a fast and reliable workflow.
Connection for WiFi tethering
IQ4 can automatically establish an IP connection over WiFi to Capture One on
your computer via the built-in Bonjour feature. To activate the Wireless
connection on the IQ4, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and select the
IQ4 Menu.
In the Menu, select Network Settings, and set WiFi to Enable.
Once you have enabled WiFi on the IQ4, choose Network Settings > WiFi
Select Network. The IQ4 will now scan for any available wireless networks and
show them as a list. Select the WiFi network that you have access to on your
computer. If the network requires a password, you will be prompted to enter it
on the touch screen.
Note that all secure networks have a password, and the IQ4 will remember it
the next time you select the same wireless network. Once connected, close
the menu screen by tapping on the cross in the top-right corner.
The IQ4 will now connect to your wireless router. Ensure that your computer is
connected to the same wireless router, and launch Capture One version 11.2.1
(or later).
Next, you just need to select the IQ4 as the connected camera system from
drop-down menu in the Camera tool, and you are ready to start your capture
session.
Note! The automatic IP connection feature works natively on the macOS,
but if you’re working on a Windows pc, you need to have Apple’s Bonjour
installed. This is done by downloading and installing either iTunes for
Windows or Bonjour Print Services for Windows from Apple.
You can get an overview over the quality of the available wireless networks by
choosing Network Settings > WiFi Status. The IQ4 will show the signal
strength in percentage, and this can be useful to help choosing the wireless
network that will provide the best connection.
Checking for Image Transfer
It will take time to transfer RAW images over your WiFi network and show up
in Capture One, so here is a way to check whether the images are indeed
being transferred: Swipe down from the top edge of the screen to reveal the
Status Menu. At the bottom by the WiFi icon, a status text like this will be
shown if there are images in flight: Connected Images Pending: 2 81% (2,8
MB/s). Once this proces is completed, the images will show up in Capture One.
