hi Guys, thanks for your replies. @Trenton Talbot: Flight mode ON, Wifi On does not work for me, it doesn't keep my iPhone from connecting to my home WiFi and break the X-T1 connection. I'll stick to the somewhat more elaborate procedure I described. @jeremyclarke: I quite agree with your worries about the batteries. For the X-T1 a spare should never be far away, unfortunately that doesn't work for the iPhone.

I've had some trouble getting the WiFi connection between X-T1 and my iPhone4 working. It would only work for a short time before the connection got lost. After googling for help and trying different settings I think I understand what went wrong and how to fix it. Glad to share my solution with you. Connection can get lost for 3 reasons, you have to eliminate all 3 to keep a stable WiFi-connection, even if you don't take a picture for some time. 1) X-T1 goes to sleep after a few minutes. Set: Menu/Setup2/power management/auto power off/off : X-T1 stays awake 2) iPhone4 goes to sleep. Set settings/general/automatic lock/never : iPhone stays awake 3) iPhone4 goes looking for a WiFi network that will give access to the internet to update your mail/whatsapp/facebook etcetera. Set settings/Wi-Fi/Ask to join networks/off and set settings/cellular/cellular data/off and set settings cellular/cellular data network/off : iPhone stays glued to the WiFi connection with your X-T1 And, one final advice: if you are in the picture yourself set the self timer of the X-T1 to 2 seconds. Otherwise everybody else in the picture will be smiling at the birdie and you will be staring at your iPhone, taking the picture. (shooting menu2/self timer/2 sec) See attached picture for an example of how stupid that looks! Good luck, hope your learning curve can be steeper than mine. Once you know how to do it it, it's not difficult. Hans, the Netherlands
