Using An Eye-Fi Card - Canon PowerShot SX50 HS User Manual

Using an Eye-Fi Card

Before using an Eye-Fi card, always confirm that local use is permitted
(= 2 ).
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 46). 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].
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).
