The Bluetooth 
wireless technology
The Bluetooth wireless technology allows 
communication between various Bluetooth
devices without using cables. Devices 
which can use this technology include PCs, 
computer peripheral devices, PDAs, and 
mobile phones. This omnidirectional
communication system enables 
communication even if the Bluetooth 
device is in a bag or if there are obstacles 
between the devices.
Also, the Bluetooth wireless technology has 
advanced security functions, such as
scrambled frequencies and data encryption.
When using the Bluetooth function, the 
distance between the camera and the device you 
intend to connect must be within 10 m (3.3 feet) 
without obstacles.
When using the Bluetooth function, actual 
remaining time and time indicated with the 
battery remaining indicator may be different.
The “Basic Imaging Profile”
The “Basic Imaging Profile” (BIP) is the 
specification used when sending or 
receiving images between Bluetooth 
devices. The main features of the BIP 
enable sending or receiving images, use of 
the remote shutter feature of a digital still 
camera.
To connect with your camera, the Bluetooth 
device must be compatible with the “Image 
Push Feature” or the “Remote Camera 
Feature” of the “Basic Imaging Profile” 
(BIP).
Before using the Bluetooth device, check 
the BIP specifications of the device.
