Images can be imported from a card used for shooting with Canon compact digital cameras, digital single-lens reflex cameras, compact system (mirrorless) cameras, or digital camcorders released in 2010 or later. Although images may be imported from a card used in other cameras, there is no guarantee for the import of images to Connect Station. Compatible cards The following cards can be used when importing images from a card. SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card CF (Compact Flash) card
- The CFast card is not supported. When holding the camera/camcorder close to Connect Station, do not drop the camera/camcorder on it or push the camera/camcorder hard against it. Doing so may damage the built-in hard disk. While images are being imported, you cannot connect an NFC-compatible camera/ camcorder even if you hold it close to Connect Station. If a case etc. is attached to the camera/camcorder, connection may not be possible. In such a case, detach the case etc., and hold the camera/camcorder close to Connect Station. Since the camera/camcorder may not be recognized readily, carefully hold the camera/ camcorder close to the NFC connect point on Connect Station while rotating the camera/camcorder horizontally. Just holding the camera/camcorder close to Connect Station may not establish a connection. In such a case, gently touch Connect Station with the camera/camcorder. When connecting Connect Station to a camera/camcorder, and it gives three short beeps and the power lamp blinks in red, this indicates that Connect Station is not in a status to establish connection. Make sure if the camera/camcorder is ready for connection. If the camera/camcorder and Connect Station are moved too far away from each other while importing images, the import may take time or the connection may be terminated. If the camera’s/camcorder’s battery runs out during import, the import will stop. Charge the battery, then try importing again. While a wireless LAN connection is established, you may not be able to connect a camera/camcorder even if you connect it with an interface cable. You may not be able to connect a certain NFC-compatible camera/camcorder with low battery level to Connect Station, even when you hold it close to Connect Station. In such a case, recharge the battery, then hold the camera/camcorder close to Connect Station. The power to some cameras/camcorders may be turned on when you hold the camera’s/camcorder’s n close to Connect Station. When all images are already imported, import does not start.24 Inserting a card Remove the card slot cover in advance. Insert an SD card with its front side facing upward until it clicks in place.

For information on the interface cable, refer to the Camera/Camcorder Instruction Manual. Compatible cameras/camcorders Cameras/camcorders from which images can be imported via a wired connection are Canon compact digital cameras, digital single-lens reflex cameras, compact system (mirrorless) cameras, and digital camcorders released in 2010 or later. Although cameras/camcorders other than these may be connected via a wired connection, there is no guarantee for the import of images to Connect Station. Importing images Use the interface cable that you use to connect a camera/ camcorder to a computer. Connect the USB terminal on Connect Station to a camera/ camcorder, then turn on the camera’s/camcorder’s power. The access lamp will blink, and the import of images will start. The import is complete when the access lamp stops blinking and stays lit. Turn off the camera’s/ camcorder’s power, then disconnect the cable. When connecting or disconnecting the cable, hold Connect Station in place. When disconnecting the cable, be sure to hold the plug; do not pull the cable. When connecting the cable to Connect Station, do not lift or move Connect Station with its power on. Dropping Connect Station or hitting it against an object may damage its hard disk.

Security Precautions Because a wireless LAN uses radio waves to transmit signals, security precautions more stringent than when using a LAN cable are required. Keep the following points in mind when using a wireless LAN. Only use networks you are authorized to use. This product searches for wireless LAN networks in the vicinity and displays the results on the screen. Networks you are not authorized to use (unknown networks) may also be displayed. However, attempting to connect to or using such networks could be regarded as unauthorized access. Be sure to use only networks you are authorized to use, and do not attempt to connect to other unknown networks. If security settings have not been properly set, the following problems may occur. Transmission monitoring Third parties with malicious intent may monitor the wireless LAN transmissions and attempt to acquire the data you are sending. Unauthorized network access Third parties with malicious intent may gain unauthorized access to the network you are using to steal, modify, or destroy information. Additionally, you could fall victim to other types of unauthorized access such as impersonation (where someone assumes an identity to gain access to unauthorized information) or springboard attacks (where someone gains unauthorized access to your network as a springboard to cover their tracks when infiltrating other systems). To prevent these types of problems from occurring, be sure to thoroughly secure your wireless LAN network. Only use this product’s wireless LAN function with a proper understanding of the wireless LAN security, and balance risk and convenience when adjusting security settings.81 Only for European Union and EEA (Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) These symbols indicate that this product is not to be disposed of with your household waste, according to the WEEE Directive (2012/19/EU), the Battery Directive (2006/66/EC) and/or national legislation implementing those Directives.
