Using an Eye-Fi Card
Still Images Movies
Before using an Eye-Fi card, always confirm that local use is permitted (=2).
Inserting a prepared Eye-Fi card enables automatic wireless transfer of images to a computer or uploading to a photo-sharing website. Images are transferred by the Eye-Fi card. Refer to the card’s user manual or contact the manufacturer for instructions on preparing and using cards or resolving transfer problems.
●● When using an Eye-Fi card, keep the following points in mind. --Cards may continue to transmit radio waves even when [Eye-
Fi trans.] is set to [Disable] (=100). Remove the Eye-Fi card before entering hospitals, aircraft, or other areas where transmission is prohibited.
--When troubleshooting image transfer issues, check the card and computer settings. For details, refer to the card’s user manual.
--Poor Eye-Fi connections may cause image transfer to take a long time, and transfer may be interrupted in some cases.
--Eye-Fi cards may become hot, due to their transfer functions. --Battery power will be consumed faster than in normal use.
--Camera operation may become sluggish. To resolve this, try setting [Eye-Fi trans.] to [Disable].
Connection status of Eye-Fi cards in the camera can be checked on the shooting screen (in regular information display mode) or playback screen (in simple information display mode).
