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

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.
