Remote control
One camera, four uses

  • 1
    Connecting via an existing Wi-Fi network
  • 1
    Make sure your iPhone is connected to a local Wi-Fi network.
  • 1
    Plug the DxO ONE into your iPhone and turn it on to open the iOS application.
  • 1
    Press the Shooting settings icon.
  • 1
    Scroll through the settings to the Remote control section.
  • 1
    Tap on the circle to the right of “Connect via an existing Wi-Fi network”.
  • 1
    In the iOS dialogue box, allow sharing for Wi-Fi settings.
  • 1
    A dialogue box will tell you the status of the current connection.

Do not unplug your DxO ONE from your iPhone until the connection has been established. This operation may take 15–20 seconds.

  • 1
    When the connection is confirmed, a new message will tell you to unplug the DxO ONE from your iPhone. Your camera is ready to operate in remote mode.
  • 1
    Unplug your DxO ONE from your iPhone. Your camera is ready to operate in remote mode.

Once you are in remote mode, a network icon will be displayed on your DxO ONE’s OLED screen, and a blue rectangle will appear around the DxO ONE application on your iPhone.

Automatic stand-by works in wireless mode, too. If your DxO ONE has gone into stand-by, tap the iPhone screen or press the DxO ONE shutter half way to reactivate it.

The camera’s ability to operate while using an existing Wi-Fi network depends on your network coverage. In certain cases, especially if there’s too much traffic on your network, the quality may be lower than with a direct Wi-Fi connection. If the quality of the connection deteriorates, the blue rectangle around the application will first blink, then turn orange.

The local Wi-Fi mode operates with domestic networks only. It won’t operate with public networks, e.g. networks in stations or airports. For security reasons, these are designed to isolate connected devices from each other.

    Reconnecting after the camera turns off or switches to stand-by

Depending on the Shooting settings (described in section “Shooting settings” ), the DxO ONE and iPhone go into power-saving mode after 30 seconds, 2 minutes, or 5 minutes. The Wi-Fi connection will not be interrupted, and the DxO ONE can be reactivated instantly simply by tapping the screen or operating the ONE shutter. In power-saving mode, the DxO ONE will turn off (and interrupt the connection) after 1 minute and 30 seconds.

The Wi-Fi connection is also interrupted when you put your iPhone into stand-by; in this case, your DxO ONE will wait to be reconnected, which must be done from your iPhone. If the reconnection does not occur within a certain time, the camera may turn off automatically, according to the following rules:

  • 1
    Battery level 50% or lower: the camera will wait to reconnect for 5 minutes, then turn off ;
  • 1
    Battery level higher than 50%: the camera will wait to reconnect for as long as the battery level is above this threshold ;
  • 1
    Camera connected to power plug: the DxO ONE will wait to reconnect indefinitely.
