How Important Is Wi-Fi In A Camera For

Professional Photographers?

Wi-Fi capabilities in a camera have become a ubiquitous presence across the digital camera spectrum. Wi-Fi connectivity is no longer an add-on feature, but is considered an essential on every single digital camera.

Most of these capabilities involve the ability to connect to smart phones, and tablets with the help of first party applications. This has become more pronounced since the advent of the mirrorless camera.

A digital camera with wifi, basically, enables its user to communicate continuously with his or her mobile computing device, essentially combining the camera’s advanced imaging capabilities with the computing device’s superior processing functions, storage space and internet features. Of course, this does negate the importance of desktop computers or laptops for the photographer in terms of editing, it does provide a host of benefits.

These benefits range from managing your storage capabilities in an efficient, non-cumbersome manner to being social media ready in today’s day and age. The latter is especially helpful for on the go vlogging, and with cameras like the Panasonic Lumix G85, with in-built Wi-Fi, vlogging on the go has started working like a charm.

Along with this, many apps, like the Image app for the Panasonic Lumix G85 and for that matter any mirrorless camera from the Lumix range, allow one to control one’s camera remotely. This is great for self-portraits and discrete wildlife shoots.

Here we would like to elaborate a little bit more on how a digital camera with wifi helps a photographer get the best out of every moment.

Transferring images to mobile devices wirelessly: Backing up images the moment they are clicked is a great feature to have. Most first-party apps provide one with a plethora of options, when one transfers the image from their camera to their mobile device. These majorly deal with the size and the format of the files being transferred.

Control the camera via remote: Remote access to a camera is a game changer. Using one’s mobile to control features like shutter speed, aperture, and ISO along with the remote shutter release button make a photographer’s life very easy. The Image app, in its remote control mode, provides for control over shutter speed, aperture, white balance, exposure, ISO sensitivity, and even auto focus. The app also provides for video recording remotely (making it an ideal companion for vloggers). The image app basically puts all of a camera’s controls onto a mobile device’s screen. Try it out on the Panasonic Lumix G85 and harness the power of Wi-Fi for your photography.
