Preparation

Install Camera Connect on a Smartphone

To communicate with a smartphone, the dedicated smartphone application Camera Connect (free of charge) is necessary.

 Camera Connect can be downloaded from the App Store or Google

Play. Install Camera Connect on the smartphone and then perform the procedures to establish the connection.

 To use Camera Connect, a smartphone on which iOS or Android

installed is necessary. For information on supported operating systems, refer to the download site of Camera Connect.

 When an NFC-enabled smartphone on which Camera Connect is

not installed is touched to the camera, the download screen of Camera Connect will be displayed on the smartphone.

 Interface or functions of Camera Connect are subject to change, for

application improvement or update. In such a case, features of Camera Connect may differ from sample screens or operation instructions in this manual.

Preparation

NFC-enabled smartphones can also be connected in camera access point mode or infrastructure mode.

Connection Method

When using an Android smartphone (OS version 4.0 or later), check if it is NFC-enabled.

 When the smartphone is NFC-enabled: See p.28

You can easily set up a connection using the NFC function.

 When the smartphone is not NFC-enabled: See p.31

Set up a connection in camera access point mode.

Smartphones labeled with the p mark are NFC-enabled. Some smartphones are not labeled with the p mark even if they are NFCenabled; if you do not know whether your smartphone is NFC-enabled, contact the manufacturer of the smartphone.

Connecting with the NFC Function

When the smartphone is not NFC-enabled, see page 31.

Connect the camera and a smartphone using the NFC function. The operation flow for connecting via NFC is as follows.

(1) Turn on the camera and smartphone. (2) Enable the NFC function on the camera and smartphone. (3) Touch the smartphone to the camera so that they come into

contact with each other (p.29).

NFC Function Cautions

 When touching the smartphone to the camera , be ca ref ul n ot to dr op t he

camera or smartphone.

 Do not touch the smartphone to the camera with too much force. Doing

so can scratch the camera or smartphone.

 Just holding the smartphone close to the mark may not establish a

connection. Be sure to touch the mark with the smartphone so that they come into contact with each other.

 Recognition may be difficult depending on the smartphone. Touch slowly

while changing the position or angle.

 Another application on the smartphone may start depending on h ow you

touch. Check the position of the p mark, then touch again.

 A connection cannot be established via the NFC function while shooting

with the camera, when the power switch is set to <k>, when there is no card, or when the LCD monitor is closed with the screen facing inward.

 When touching the smartphone to the camera, do not leave anything

between the camera and smartphone. In addition, when a case is attached to the camera or smartphone, communication may not be possible via NFC function.

 When Battery Grip BG-E18 (sold separately) is attached, a connect ion

cannot be established via the NFC function.

 The camera cannot be connected to two or more smartphones at the

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.

 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.

Operate the Camera using

Camera Connect.

 Perform further operations using

Camera Connect. For the operation procedure, see page 35.

The settings for communicating with a smartphone are now complete.
