Uploading Pictures to a Computer
Pictures taken with the camera can be selected for upload to a computer during playback. They can also be uploaded automatically as they are taken.
Before uploading pictures, connect the camera to the destination via wireless LAN (0Computers: Connecting via Wireless LAN). After creating a profile, confirm that the profile name is listed in green in the [Connect to computer] display.
Select [Picture transfer] for [Connect to computer] > [Connection type] in the network menu.

The [Connect to computer] Upload Status Display
The [Connect to computer] 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 are also displayed here.
- 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.
