Uploading Pictures to an FTP Server
Pictures taken with the camera can be selected for upload to an FTP server during playback. They can also be uploaded automatically as they are taken.
Before uploading pictures, connect the camera to the destination via wireless LAN (0FTP Servers: Connecting via Wireless LAN). After creating a profile, confirm that the profile name is listed in green in the [Connect to FTP server] display.
Selecting Pictures for Upload
Press the K button on the camera and select full-frame or thumbnail playback.
Select a picture and press the i button.
Highlight [Select for upload (FTP)] or [Select for priority upload (FTP)] and press J.
- Selecting [Select for upload (FTP)] displays a white “upload” icon and pictures will be uploaded in the specified order. Pictures with this marking will be added to the end of the upload queue and will not begin uploading until all other pictures have uploaded.
- Selecting [Select for priority upload (FTP)] displays a white “priority upload” icon, and pictures selected for priority upload will begin uploading immediately even if pictures marked for upload already are in the upload queue.
- Upload will begin when a connection is established.
- Repeat Steps 2–3 to upload additional pictures.
- Repeat Steps 2–3 to remove upload marking from selected pictures.
- To remove upload marking from all pictures, select [Connect to FTP server] in the network menu and choose [Options] > [Deselect all?].
The [Filtered playback] item in the playback i menu can be used to display only pictures that meet chosen criteria (0Filtered Playback). The pictures can then all be selected for upload by highlighting [Select all for upload (FTP)] in the i menu and pressing J.
Uploading Photos as They Are Taken
To upload new photos as they are taken, select [Connect to FTP server] in the network menu and choose [ON] for [Options] > [Auto upload].
- Upload begins only after the photo has been recorded to the memory card. Be sure a memory card is inserted in the camera.
- Videos are not uploaded automatically. They must instead be uploaded manually from the playback display.

The [Connect to FTP server] Upload Status Display
The [Connect to FTP server] display shows the following:
- Status:
The status of the connection to the host. The profile name is displayed in green when a connection is established.
While files are being transferred, the status display shows “Now uploading” preceded by the name of the file being sent. Errors and error codes are also displayed here (0Error Codes Displayed When Connecting to an FTP via Wireless LAN).
- Signal strength: The wireless signal strength.
- Band: When connecting wirelessly in Wi-Fi station mode, the radio frequency band of the connected SSID network is displayed. In Wi-Fi access point mode, the radio frequency band that the camera is outputting is displayed.
- Pictures/time remaining: The number of pictures remaining and the time needed to send them. The time remaining is an estimate only.
Wireless transmission may be interrupted if the signal is lost. Upload of pictures with upload marking can be resumed by turning the camera off and then on again once the signal has been re-established.
Do not remove or insert the memory card during upload.
Voice memos will be included when the associated pictures are transmitted. They cannot, however, be uploaded separately.
The camera saves transfer marking when turned off and resumes upload when next turned on.
Caution: Uploading Protected Pictures via FTP
The copies on the FTP server will not be protected even if the originals are. Markings can be added using ratings (0Rating Pictures).
