NFC Function
What is NFC?
NFC (Near Field Communication) is a function that can exchange
information by simply bringing two NFC-enabled devices close together.
This camera uses the NFC function to exchange information regarding
wireless connection.
Using an NFC-enabled smartphone or Connect Station enables you to
do the following:
Touch a smartphone to the camera to easily connect them wirelessly
(p.27).
While playing back images on the camera, touch a smartphone to
the camera to send a captured image to the smartphone (p.38).
Hold the camera close to Connect Station (sold separately) to easily
connect them wirelessly (p.68).
When using the NFC function, follow the steps below to set the
camera’s NFC setting.

NFC Function
NFC Function Cautions
This camera cannot be connected to other NFC-enabled cameras or
printers using the NFC function.
A connection cannot be established using the NFC function while
shooting with the camera or when the Mode Dial is set to <k>.
To connect the camera to a smartphone using the NFC function, the
smartphone’s Wi-Fi function and NFC function must be enabled.
A connection can be established even when the camera’s power is in the
auto power off state. However, if a connection cannot be established, cancel
auto power off, then establish a connection.
When establishing wireless communications using the NFC function,
see the following pages.
Connecting to a smartphone wirelessly: page 27*
Sending images to a smartphone: page 38*
Connecting to Connect Station: page 67
* When connecting to a smartphone, see pages 22 and 26 as well.

Preparation for Smartphones
To use [q] (Connect to smartphone), a smartphone on which iOS or
Android is installed is necessary. In addition, the dedicated application
Camera Connect (free of charge) must be installed on the smartphone.
Camera Connect can be downloaded from the App Store or Google
Play.
For the operating system versions supported by Camera Connect,
refer to the download site of Camera Connect.
When an NFC-enabled smartphone is touched to the camera before
installing Camera Connect, the download screen of Camera
Connect will be displayed on the smartphone.
Interface or functions of the camera and Camera Connect are
subject to change for firmware update of the camera or application
update of Camera Connect, iOS, Android, etc. In such a case,

same time.
By default, the connection settings via the NFC function are saved as the
fourth setting (a setting dedicated to NFC connection) under the name
[SET4 (NFC)]. When you connect the camera to another smartphone via
NFC, [SET4 (NFC)] will be overwritten.
While connected, the camera’s auto power off does not function.
29
Connecting with Easy Connection
