Perhaps it's a bug that's only seen with Android 4.1, but there it is. In our experience, the slider didn't work. The 'Take pictures remotely' option is supposedly toggle-able by just sliding a switch while in the mode that we just spoke of. We'd actually recommend using an Android tablet to best take advantage of this being able to zoom into a full-res image on a TF700 or the like would be hugely valuable if you're trying to scrutinize details mid-shoot. It's an ability that professional wedding and landscape photographers would adore, but alas, it's only available to the market that would purchase a D3200. If you notice something that's not quite perfect, you can easily tweak your camera and reshoot. Using this mode allows you to easily review the shots you're taking at a macro level, with the ability to pinch-and-zoom in tight on images to inspect minute details. Wish that you could force it to send over resized versions instead of clogging up your Galaxy Nexus' internal storage? Too bad. The upside here is that there's no compression in the transfer the downside is that the app provides no customization options whatsoever in this department. In our experience, ~10MB JPEGs took just two to three seconds to transfer over.

From there, however, your Android device will automatically suck down the full resolution version of the photo. When you select the first, 'Use the camera to take pictures,' you'll simply continue to use the D3200 as you would. The WMAU app gives you four options up front: Use the camera to take pictures, Take pictures remotely, Share pictures and Download pictures from the camera. What we didn't know was precisely how limited that feature set is. We knew from the outset that the WU-1a has a pretty limited feature set. As far as multi-device setup goes, this was one of the easier ones that we've encountered.

If your connection is solid, you'll see all four of the available options lit up if not, you'll be prompted to hop into WiFi settings and patch things up first. We'd call it spartan, in the effort of accuracy. As of today, only the Android build is available we're still hearing that the iOS edition will be out at some point in the fall of 2012. Searching for 'Wireless Mobile Adapter' will lead you to a poorly titled 'WirelessMobileAdapterUtility' program from Nikon.

Hoping to change ISO sensitivity, aperture or shutter speed via the app? Keep dreaming. Simply holding the single button on the WU-1a for 10 seconds will achieve the reset. Otherwise, you may only see a 'locked' network showing up in your WiFi settings. If you routinely switch Android devices, you may have to reset the WU-1a entirely to connect it to a new product. If they aren't, there's a quick press-and-hold-and-pray scenario that's spelled out in the user guide. (For what it's worth, we tested the unit and the app on a Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.1, and it worked flawlessly even with Jelly Bean.) If you're lucky, you'll see a 'Nikon' network show up in the list a simple tap will have the two talking to one another.

Plug the module into the D3200, flip the camera on, and surf over to the WiFi section in the Settings menu of any Android 2.3+ device. Make sure you carve out a special place for it in your camera bag - the only thing more painful than spending $60 on one, is spending another $60 for a replacement. We have to say, though, that the WU-1a is shockingly easy to lose. Sure, it'd be amazing if it were integrated directly into the D3200's body instead of being an optional, direct-connect apparatus, but perhaps that'll come to fruition in the D3200's successor. Speaking of which, you will have to open the left side panel to plug this guy in, and that door flap will just remain awkwardly propped open the entire time that you're using it. It's smaller than the diameter of a US quarter, and no thicker than the side panel to which it attaches. The unit itself is wonderfully miniscule. We're guessing the outfit's just using the D3200 as a guinea pig to see how it goes over before potentially making a similar dongle for other units. Those who make ends meet shooting weddings, sporting events and similar engagements are probably dipping into the D800 / D3S / D4 territory, which makes the decision to exclude every body except the D3200 from the WU-1a's compatibility list all the more baffling. But there's no denying that it's a novice-to-amateur rig.

The camera itself is pretty stout for the price - plenty of megapixels, a compact frame and a reasonably outstanding 1080p movie mode. That DSLR is the D3200, a lower-end unit that's selling for around $700 with an 18-55mm kit lens. Just so we're crystal clear, the WU-1a is only compatible with a single Nikon DSLR.
