New Pyxis and BM Camera App Problem

PostFri Dec 20, 2024 4:03 am

I can't seem to get the Pyxis to show up as an available camera on the app. I think I've tried every setting. Anyone else have success with this. It's a new feature so Im not sure if it's a bug or my camera has a connectivity failure. Thanks!

Direct connection or Network?

Is "Remote Control" in the SETUP page turned on?

Maybe I don't understand how it works. Remote in set up is turned on. Does it work over Bluetooth?

Pg 101 of the manual. It connects either via direct USB-C connection to the iPhone, or when your PYXIS is on the same network as your iPhone.

If I may make a suggestion: make a little YouTube Tutorial in the future for these releases to show how it is done. That way people have a resource they can watch and follow along.
