Using An Eye-Fi Card - Canon IXUS 245 HS User Manual

Using an Eye-Fi Card

Before using an Eye‑Fi card, always confirm that local use is permitted
(= 3 ).
Inserting a prepared Eye‑Fi card enables automatic wireless transfer of
images to a computer or uploading to a photo‑sharing website.
Images are transferred by the Eye‑Fi card. Refer to the card's user manual
or contact the manufacturer for instructions on preparing and using cards or
resolving transfer problems.
• When using an Eye‑Fi card, keep the following points in mind.
‑ Cards may continue to transmit radio waves even when [Eye‑
Fi trans.] is set to [Disable] (= 2 47). Remove the Eye‑Fi
card before entering hospitals, aircraft, or other areas where
transmission is prohibited.
‑ When troubleshooting image transfer issues, check the card and
computer settings. For details, refer to the card's user manual.
‑ Poor Eye‑Fi connections may cause image transfer to take a long
time, and transfer may be interrupted in some cases.
‑ Eye‑Fi cards may become hot, due to their transfer functions.
‑ Battery power will be consumed faster than in normal use.
‑ Camera operation may become sluggish. To resolve this, try
setting [Eye‑Fi trans.] to [Disable].
‑ Eye‑Fi transmission is not possible when the camera is
connected to a wireless LAN.
Connection status of Eye‑Fi cards in the camera can be checked on the
shooting screen (in regular information display mode) or playback screen (in
simple information display mode).
