Connecting External Media

Unplugging External Media from the USB Port

Before unplugging external media from the USB port, always select [Disconnect] as shown in step 5. Follow the instructions displayed to terminate the connection.

The connection will not be terminated if you simply turn off the camera and external media. If you unplug external media while the connection is still active, plug the external media into the USB port again and follow the preceding steps to terminate the connection.

Power Supply to External Media

External media is powered via the transmitter’s USB port as needed. However, external hard disk drives may not work after connection in some cases.

Power Management

If you will not use a wireless or wired LAN at the same time as the external media, set [Communication mode] to [Disconnect]. The camera battery drains faster under settings other than [Disconnect] because power saving is disabled.

Setting [Power saving] to [Enable] enables the power supply to external media to be stopped automatically, conserving the camera battery. Power is supplied again automatically during shooting, when captured images are stored.

Before shooting movie, set [Power saving] to [Disable] and make sure the transmitter’s <USB> lamp is lit in green. If you start shooting movie when the <USB> lamp is out or blinking, the movie may not be recorded to external media.
