Using an Eye-Fi Card

Before using an Eye-Fi card, be sure to check whether Eye-Fi card use is authorized in the country or territory of use (p. 17).

When you put a prepared Eye-Fi card into the camera, you can automatically transfer your images wirelessly to a computer, or upload them to a web service.

Image transfer is a function of the Eye-Fi card. For details on how to setup and use the card, and concerning problems transferring images, please refer to the Eye-Fi card user guide, or contact the manufacturer.

Please keep the following things in mind when using an Eye-Fi card.

• Even if you set [Eye-Fi trans.] to [Disable] (p. 180), the Eye-Fi card may transmit radio waves. Be sure to remove the Eye-Fi card from the camera before entering areas that prevent unauthorized transmission of radio waves, such as hospitals and airplanes.

•If you have trouble transferring images, check the card or computer settings. For details, refer to the user guide supplied with the card.

•Depending on the connection status of the wireless network, it may take time to transfer images, or image transfer may be interrupted.

•Due to its transfer function, the Eye-Fi card may become hot.

•Battery consumption will be quicker than in normal use.

•Camera operations will be slower than in normal use. This may be resolved by setting [Eye-Fi trans.] to [Disable].
