The camera is equipped with wireless LAN and Bluetooth^®. Use of these features in countries outside the region of purchase may violate local wireless regulations.

Some countries and regions may prohibit the acquisition of location data without prior governmental permission. In some sales areas, the camera may consequently ship with location data displays disabled.

Each country and region have its own laws and regulations. Check them before traveling and observe them while abroad. Our company assumes no liability for any failure on the part of the user to observe local laws and regulations.

Disable Wi-Fi on airplanes and in other locations where their use is prohibited. g “Disabling the camera’s wireless communication (Airplane Mode)”

• Wireless transmissions are vulnerable to interception by third parties. Use wireless features with this in mind.
• The wireless transceiver is located in the camera grip. Keep it as far away as practicable from metal objects. Moreover, the signal strength may be reduced if the grip part is held or covered.
• When transporting the camera in a bag or other container, be aware that the contents of the container or the materials of which it is constructed may interfere with wireless transmissions, which can prevent the camera connecting to a smartphone.
• Wi-Fi connections increase the drain on the batteries. The connection may be lost during use if the batteries are low.
• Devices such as microwave ovens and cordless phones that generate radio-frequency emissions, magnetic fields, or static electricity may slow or otherwise interfere with wireless data transmission.
• Some wireless LAN features are unavailable when the memory card write-protect switch is in the “LOCK” position.
