What it Does This lets you send one (or more) images to your Wi-Fi enabled smartphone

Recommended Setting n/a

 

With this function and your Wi-Fi equipped smartphone you can do the following:

• Choose which images to transfer either on the camera or on the phone
• Choose what resolution to receive via the PlayMemories Mobile app (if you’re just posting to a social networking site then a 24 MP image is way too big, plus it’ll eat up your data plan)
• If your phone has Near-Field Communication (NFC) you can make things incredibly simple just by playing back the image you want to send on your camera, and then “bump” the phone to the camera. It automatically gets sent to your phone and you can share it with the internet from there. (If your phone doesn’t have NFC then you can still do all the same things; but you have to initialize them manually on both devices.)

Much of the details of how to send images to your smart phone (whether they are equipped with NFC or not) was covered earlier in Section 5.2.
