Using an Eye-Fi Card

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] (

= 246). 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).
