Hello. First of all I apologize for any eventual error in English, as I only speak the native language of Brazil. Congratulations now on the video and also for helping Nikon users I updated the Firmware, before I had difficulties connecting to Nikon via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, however sometimes it worked. With this new update, it simply does not connect via snapbridge and the Wi-Fi connection does not appear on my phone, even if it is activated. Do you know of any solution for this case? Thanks in advance.
