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. Bluetooth operation Pressing the Bluetooth button opens the Bluetooth menu. The Bluetooth lamp turns blue during Bluetooth operations. • Do not cover the antenna portion during a Bluetooth connection. • Removing the battery pack during a Bluetooth connection may cause a malfunction.

17 Authentication What’s a passkey Passkey is used to authenticate two Bluetooth devices that have not previously connected to each other and create a trusted relationship between them. You need to enter the same characters (passkey) to each device on passkey authentication process. Once authentication of the device has been confirmed, the camera registered the device as a record. Since then you can connect the device without entering a passkey. • To ensure proper security, the passkey entry has a time limit (30 seconds), based on the Bluetooth standards. • The passkey entry may be required when the authentication valid period of the camera on other device is expired, the record is deleted, or the security setting is changed. • Passkey entry may be required, depending on devices, each time you intend to connect. • This “Passkey” is also referred to as a “Bluetooth passkey” etc. “PIN” is also used with the same meaning. When the passkey entry screen appears on your camera before it appears on the other device Enter the desired passkey on your camera. Then, enter the same passkey on the other device. When the passkey entry screen appears on the other device before it appears on your camera Enter the desired passkey on the other device. Then, enter the same passkey on your camera. When the passkey entry screen appears on your camera and the other device at the same time You can enter the passkey on either one. Enter the same passkey on your camera and the other device. Entering the passkey Enter the passkey when the passkey entry screen appears. a Select the desired character with v/V/b/B, then press z. The selected character is entered. b Repeat Step 1 as many times as needed to enter the desired passkey. c Select [OK] with v/B, then press z. The passkey entry is completed. • You can enter a passkey with up to 16 characters, however, you have to enter the passkey within the time limit (30 seconds). Due to the time limit, we recommend you use about a four-character passkey. • The character types and the number of characters available depend on the device.

If you fail to enter the passkey If you run past the time limit for the passkey entry (30 seconds) or enter a different passkey, confirm error messages then connect again. Deleting the record Your camera stores access history and information about the devices once connected as an item called the record. Since you can select a desired device from the record, you do not have to perform a new search each time you connect. The camera can store records on up to seven devices, and when you try to store another record on a device, the oldest item is automatically deleted from the list. a Set the MODE dial to SET UP. b Select (Bluetooth SETUP) with V, [EDIT RECORD] with v/ V/B, [OK] with v/B, then press z.
