thanks, it's useful to know about Wifi's impact on bat life!

hopefully Wifi is disabled by default, otherwise most people may not bother disabling it, and wonder about low bat life

Q1: Can you fully control the camera via Android/iPhone apps?

No as has been stated it's Smart Mode, You have the ability through a shutter button to focus and take the photo, Flash auto or off, Timer, and I believe there is one more.

Afterwards you can save it directly to the device. The Image on iOS is distorted until you do. It all saves properly in the camera though no matter what.

Q2: What's the max. range in feet or meters?

I've seen video of it at about 50-60m in practice I've used it at 10m (40-50ft)

The focus is really hit and miss, you can change nothing and just focus over and over again, and it will focus some place different every time. I've seen many photos where the background is tack sharp but everyone is blurry.

Honestly it is mostly useless. But when it works it works very well. I was working with a group shot where everyone else was using a timer, and a guy photo bombed and I could shot after the fact at my leisure.
