Shooting Remotely
As you check a shooting screen on your smartphone, you can use it to 
shoot remotely.

out of position. Keep the camera still by 
mounting it on a tripod or taking other 
measures.

In Camera Connect on the smartphone, 
choose remote shooting.
 
The camera lens will come out. Do not 
press near the lens, and make sure no 
objects will obstruct it.
 
Once the camera is ready for remote 
shooting, a live image from the camera 
will be displayed on the smartphone.

the camera, and all operations except

Using a Smartphone to View Camera 
Images and Control the Camera
You can do the following with the dedicated smartphone app Camera 
Connect.
 
Browse images on the camera and save them to the smartphone
 
Geotag images on the camera (= 102)
 
 
Privacy settings must be configured in advance to allow image 
viewing on the smartphone (= 82, = 103).
Geotagging Images on the Camera
GPS data recorded on a smartphone using the dedicated Camera 
Connect application can be added to images on the camera. Images are 
tagged with information including the latitude, longitude, and elevation.
 
Before shooting, make sure the date and time and your home 
time zone are set correctly, as described in “Setting the Date and 
Time” (= 17). 
Also follow the steps in “World Clock” (= 107) 
to specify any shooting destinations in other time zones.
 
Others may be able to locate or identify you by using location data 
in your geotagged still images or movies. Be careful when sharing 
these images with others, as when posting images online where 
many others can view them.
