Photographs on the camera can then be transmitted to a
computer ftp server and the camera controlled remotely from a
computer. The UT-1 supports the following functions:
FTP upload (045)
Image transfer (031)
Camera control (039)
Before data can be transferred over a wireless or Ethernet network,
the camera must be supplied with a network profile providing
information on the host computer or ftp server.
Upload new photographs or existing photographs
and movies to host.
Control camera from computer using optional
Camera Control Pro 2 software.

Preparing the UT-1
❏ Inserting the Battery
Workflow
To prevent loss of power during setup or upload, use a fullycharged battery or an optional AC adapter. The UT-1 takes one
EN-EL15 rechargeable Li-ion battery; other batteries can not be
used.
1 Slide (q) and open (w) the battery-
chamber cover.
2 Insert the battery in the orientation
shown. For safety precautions and
information on charging the battery, see
the battery and charger manuals.

Introduction
A Removing the Battery
Being careful not to drop the battery, open the
battery-chamber cover and remove the battery as
shown at right.
A Stand-By Mode
When disconnected from the camera, the UT-1 will turn off automatically
after the delay chosen for Option > Auto power off delay in the Network
menu (075), reducing the drain on the battery.
A Battery Level
The level of the battery inserted in the UT-1 can be determined by
connecting the UT-1 to the camera (031, 58) and checking the battery
level using the Battery info option (075) in the camera setup menu.
A Using an AC Adapter
An optional EP-5B power connector and EH-5b or EH-5/EH-5a AC adapter
can also be used to power the camera when the UT-1 is connected. Insert
the power connector as shown below.
Open the UT-1 battery-chamber (qw) and power connector (e) covers
and then insert the EP-5B power connector in the orientation shown (r).
Position the power connector so that it passes through the power
connector slot (t) and close the battery-chamber cover.
