Cannot pair rx100m7 via Bluetooth

[Blueingreen79]

I have recently upgraded my iPhone to an iPhone 13 with iOS 15 and I'm trying to pair my RX 100 mark7 using Bluetooth however when I put the camera into pairing mode the camera does not appear in the device list on the phone any ideas by this would be?

Hi @Blueingreen79 

No idea but with computer problems always start again from scratch.

So reset bluetooth settings both on your camera and your phone, restart both and try again.

Sometimes a simple restart of both will do as well.

Thank you for your reply that was my first instinct too. However didn't get any further forward I have however I did try to rule out the phone with a different iPhone and also my suspicions came onto iOS 15 so I took out my daughters iPod touch which obviously has iOS 6 on it and even that couldn't discover the camera which I think is ruled out just about all the bases I can cover now so I think a call to Sony  supporter is in order I will post back if I make progress.

No Bluetooth but Wi-Fi...:

So what I had forgotten (or didn't realise) is that you have to do the pairing for location tagging through this and imaging edge app having realised this it's not working great

Hi @Blueingreen79

I tried what @Marino.Manolo suggested and it worked for me. Let us know if you've tried them and did they work or not ?

I did not realise you had to specifically use the imaging app to air the phone by Bluetooth for geotagging very straightforward in the end
