Use an Android (OS version 4.0 or later) smartphone’s NFC to simplify the

process of installing Camera Connect and connecting to the camera.

Operation once the devices are connected via NFC varies depending on

the camera mode when the devices are touched together.

If the camera is off or in Shooting mode when the devices are touched

together, you can choose and send images on the image selection

screen. Once the devices are connected, you can also shoot remotely

and geotag your shots (“Using a Smartphone to View Camera Images

and Control the Camera” (= 155)). It’s easy to reconnect to recent

devices, which are listed in the Wi-Fi menu.

If the camera is in Playback mode when the devices are touched

together, you can choose and send images from the index display

shown for image selection. The connection is ended automatically

after image transfer.

Follow the instructions in the following section for NFC-initiated connection

to a camera that is off or in Shooting mode.
