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 the data for wireless connections.

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.31).

 While playing back images on the camera, touch a smartphone to

the camera to send a captured image to the smartphone (p.87).

 Hold the camera close to Connect Station (sold separately) to easily

connect them wirelessly (p.40).

When using the NFC function, follow the steps below to set the camera’s NFC setting.

Select [Communication settings].

 Under the [54] tab, select

[Communication settings], then press <0>.

Select [Built-in wireless settings].

Select [Wi-Fi/NFC].

NFC Function

NFC Function Cautions

 This camera cannot be connected to other NFC-enabled devices, such

as printers, using the NFC function.

 A connection cannot be established using the NFC function while

shooting with the camera, when there is no card, or while the camera is connected to another device with an interface cable.

 To connect the camera to an NFC-enabled smartphone, the

smartphone’s Wi-Fi and NFC functions 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.

Add [X] to [Allow NFC

Connecting to a smartphone wirelessly: page 31* Sending images to a smartphone: page 87* Connecting to Connect Station: page 40

* When connecting to a smartphone, see pages 26 and 30 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, features of the camera or Camera Connect may differ from sample screens or operation instructions in this manual.
