Connecting to a Bluetooth-compatible
Smartphone via Wi-Fi
This section describes how to connect the camera to a
Bluetooth-compatible smartphone via Wi-Fi.
Connecting to a smartphone via Wi-Fi enables you to perform
the following:
View images stored in the camera on a smartphone or save
viewed images to a smartphone.
Operate the camera to take a picture or change camera
settings using a smartphone.
Send images to a smartphone from the camera.
Install Camera Connect on the smartphone before setting
up a connection (p.15).
For procedures to connect to an NFC-compatible
smartphone via Wi-Fi, see “Connecting to an NFC-
compatible Smartphone via Wi-Fi” (p.47).
If the smartphone you want to connect to via Wi-Fi is not
Bluetooth-compatible or NFC-compatible, see “Connecting
to a Smartphone via Wi-Fi with the <k> Button” (p.55).
To connect via Wi-Fi using a Wi-Fi access point, see
“Advanced Wi-Fi Connection” (p.107).
20
When you connect the camera to a Bluetooth-compatible smartphone
via Bluetooth, you can establish a Wi-Fi connection by operating only
the camera or the smartphone.
Note that pairing between the camera and smartphone is required to
connect the camera to a smartphone via Bluetooth. Pairing will be done
as part of the Bluetooth connection procedure.
Bluetooth Connection
Pairing and Bluetooth connection are not possible if the camera is
connected to Connect Station, a computer, a GPS receiver, or another
device with an interface cable.
Pairing is not possible while shooting with the camera.
The camera cannot be connected to two or more devices at the same
time via Bluetooth.
If you connect the camera to a smartphone via Wi-Fi while the camera is
connected to Wireless Remote Control BR-E1 (sold separately) via
Bluetooth, the Bluetooth connection with the wireless remote controller
will be terminated.
Bluetooth connection consumes battery power even after the camera’s
auto power off has activated. Therefore, the battery level may be low
when you use the camera.
The Bluetooth connection will be terminated if you turn off the camera or
smartphone, but when you turn on the power, the Bluetooth connection
will resume for the same combination of camera and smartphone.
This camera can be connected to Wireless Remote Control BR-E1 via
Bluetooth for remote shooting. For details, refer to Wireless Remote
Control BR-E1 Instruction Manual.
