Will the WT-5 together with the D4 and iPad allow photos just taken on a D4 to be immediately viewed on an iPad?
Does the WT-5 create a wireless network or is just a peer to peer with the WT5 communicating directly with the iPad?
Is a wireless router required for the communication to work reliably between camera/WT-5 and iPad?
Can the ipad control the camera to take remote photos as in a wireless shutter release?

Answer:
yes.yes - when in "ad hoc" mode ... several computers/ipads/iphones can view whats taken by the camera; but only one computer can control it.
No router necessary when in ad hoc mode & using http.
yes.
just one comment on what Nikon's answer here stated: as far as I can see your computer/ipad/iphone can only be effective in taking pictures in live view mode.... not able to start stop video. I dont know why they claim that here.

You can use the web browser on your iPad to operate camera controls or begin Live View shooting, including starting and stopping HD video and more. The connection should be the built-in HTTP mode.

How hard is the WT 5 to program? I purchased a much earlier version of wireless several years ago and could not program.

For this product to transmit information as it s designed, does it require WiFi?
Very simple; I just want to know if I would need to be in range of a hotspot or if I am given the freedom to use this transmitter out on the field during shoots and weddings at locations where WiFi is nt available.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Designed for the new D4.
Can I use the WT-5A in tethered mode shooting into Lightroom? Currently, I use a D700 usb tethered to my Mac to do this but sometimes get tangled up or accidentally pull the USB out. Will this unit replace the USB so I can do true wireless tethering?

Do I need Camera Control in order to control my D4 via the WT-5A?
I tried connecting D4 to Internet via Ethernet cable but could only download jpgs and not RAW files. The remote control was also not very efficient. Is it different/better with WT-5A?
