7 Using an EYE-FI Card (optional accessory)

This chapter pertains only if you're using an EYE-FI Card.

An EYE-FI Card stores pictures just like an SD/SDHC Card does. It also has a built-in Wi-Fi antenna that uses your Wi-Fi network to transfer pictures from your camera to your computer or mobile device. Choose an EYE-FI Card type X2 or higher.

To set up and use the EYE-FI Card and EYE-FI Center Software, follow the EYE-FI documentation that accompanied the card.

CAUTION:
Before using an EYE-FI Card in this camera, it's critical that you disable (do not turn on) Endless Memory Mode in EYE-FI Center Software.

  1. Turn off the camera, then open the door.

  2. Insert a card until it clicks into place.

    To remove a card, press and release it.

    NOTE: When you turn on the camera, it checks to see if a card is inserted. If pictures/videos are detected in internal memory, the camera prompts you to move them to the card. New pictures/videos are stored on the card.
