A number of tasks can be accomplished by connecting the camera to an external
device such as a computer or smartphone. Choose a connection type and software

Precautions for Using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
®
Disable wireless LAN and Bluetooth
®
in countries, regions, or locations in which their
use is prohibited.
The camera is equipped with wireless LAN and Bluetooth
®
. Use of these features in
countries outside the region of purchase may violate local wireless regulations.
Some countries and regions may prohibit the acquisition of location data without prior
governmental permission. In some sales areas, the camera may consequently ship
with location data displays disabled.
Each country and region has its own laws and regulations. Check them before traveling
and observe them while abroad. Our company assumes no liability for any failure on
the part of the user to observe local laws and regulations.
Disable Wi-Fi on airplanes and in other locations where their use is prohibited.
g “Disabling the camera’s wireless communication (Airplane Mode)” (P. 260)
# Wireless transmissions are vulnerable to interception by third parties. Use wireless
features with this in mind.
# The wireless transceiver is located in the camera grip. Keep it as far away as practicable
from metal objects.
# When transporting the camera in a bag or other container, be aware that the contents
of the container or the materials of which it is constructed may interfere with wireless
transmissions, which can prevent the camera connecting to a smartphone.
# Wi-Fi connections increase the drain on the batteries. The connection may be lost during
use if the batteries are low.
# Devices such as microwave ovens and cordless phones that generate radio-frequency
emissions, magnetic elds, or static electricity may slow or otherwise interfere with
wireless data transmission.
# Some wireless LAN features are unavailable when the memory card write-protect switch
is in the “LOCK” position.
