Just bought a new p1100 for birding now due to my eyes starting to fail me i wanted to connect to an external screen ie tablet or laptop i have both Andriod tablet and a windows laptop but i have no joy what so ever getting anything to give me a live view,i have tried all the Nikon software just for snapbridge to say needs to be connected via wifi so i click ok it then i says starting wifi and locks the camera up to the extent that i have to remove the battery to get camera working again, i have tried all the windows programs that you redaly find but none are giving me any joy with a live view, have tried bluetooth, wifi, and usb also hdmi with no joy , if somebody could maybe help me along it would be most appreciated. my andriod tablet dowsnt have USB or HDMI it has bleutooth and wifi , and my lap top has then all and is running windows 10 chome edition.

Snapbridge is widely viewed as a troublesome app. I've gotten it to work on a couple Nikons, but I find that it's usefulness to me is very limited, and not worth the hassles.

I have had great issues with P1000 and P1100 trying to connect them.
Snapbridge IOS says that the camera, which is right next to my iPad, is out of Bluetooth range 90% of the time. I have lost count of the number of times that I have performed all of the troubleshooting steps on Nikon's website.
Recently Nikon Transfer 2 on my Windows 11 laptop has been unable to find the P1100, connected by USB-C cable, even though it is visible in File Explorer.
It's about time that Nikon fixed the issues with P1100 and P1000 cameras, it's not as if they haven't had time.
