Cautions for Using Eye-Fi Cards

If “J” is displayed, an error occured whil eretrieving the card
information. Turn the camera off and on again.

Even if [Eye-Fi trans.] is set to [Disable], it may still transmit a signal. In
hospitals, airports, and other places where wireless transmissions are
prohibited, remove the Eye-Fi card from the camera.

If the image transfer does not work, check the Eye-Fi card and personal
computer settings. For details, see the card’s instruction manual.

Depending on the wireless LAN’s connection conditions, the image
transfer may take longer or might be interrupted.

Because of the transmission function, the Eye-Fi card may become hot.

The battery power will be consumed faster.

During the image transfer, auto power off will not take effect.
