The Bluetooth wireless technology

The Bluetooth wireless technology allows communication between various Bluetooth devices without using cables. Devices which can use this technology include PCs, computer peripheral devices, PDAs, and mobile phones. This omnidirectional communication system enables communication even if the Bluetooth device is in a bag or if there are obstacles between the devices.

Also, the Bluetooth wireless technology has advanced security functions, such as scrambled frequencies and data encryption.

When using the Bluetooth function, the distance between the camera and the device you intend to connect must be within 10 m (3.3 feet) without obstacles.

When using the Bluetooth function, actual remaining time and time indicated with the battery remaining indicator may be different.

To connect with your camera, the Bluetooth device must be compatible with the “Image Push Feature” or the “Remote Camera Feature” of the “Basic Imaging Profile” (BIP).
