Points” (= 144) to connect to the

access point and choose the smartphone.

All images in the camera can be viewed from the connected

smartphone, choose [No] in step 5.

Once you have registered a smartphone, you can change privacy
settings for it on the camera (= 157).

Once you have connected to devices via the Wi-Fi menu, recent
destinations will be listed first when you access the Wi-Fi menu.
You can easily connect again by pressing the [ ][ ] buttons to
choose the device and then pressing the [ ] button. To add a
new device, display the device selection screen by pressing the
[ ][ ] buttons, and then configure the setting.

If you prefer not to display recent target devices, choose MENU
(= 31) ► [ 4] tab ► [Wi-Fi Settings] ► [Target History] ►
[Off].

You can also send multiple images at once and change the image
size before sending (= 151).
