Connecting to a Bluetooth-compatible
Smartphone via Wi-Fi
This section describes how to use the Bluetooth function to connect to a
Bluetooth-compatible smartphone via Wi-Fi.
Bluetooth Connection
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 and Bluetooth connection are not possible if the camera is

connected to Connect Station, a computer, 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 paired smartphone is registered to 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.
