Using an Eye-Fi Card
Before using an Eye-Fi card, always confirm that local use is
permitted ( = 3 ).
Inserting a prepared Eye-Fi card enables automatic wireless
transfer of images to a computer or uploading to a photo-sharing
website.
Images are transferred by the Eye-Fi card. Refer to the card’s user
manual or contact the manufacturer for instructions on preparing
and using cards or resolving transfer problems.
• When using an Eye-Fi card, keep the following points in
mind.
- Cards may continue to transmit radio waves even when
[Eye-Fi trans.] is set to [Disable] ( = 218 ). Remove the
Eye-Fi card before entering hospitals, aircraft, or other
areas where transmission is prohibited.
- When troubleshooting image transfer issues, check
the card and computer settings. For details, refer to the
card’s user manual.
- Poor Eye-Fi connections may cause image transfer to
take a long time, and transfer may be interrupted in some
cases.
- Eye-Fi cards may become hot, due to their transfer
functions.
- Battery power will be consumed faster than in normal
use.
- Camera operation may become sluggish. To resolve this,
try setting [Eye-Fi trans.] to [Disable].
