Settings].

2 Connecting to Smartphone
FlashAir cards can be used in two ways with the camera, as follows.
Private Connection
For saving images or movies only to the camera owners smartphone. In a private connection, the
password initially congured is used to access the smartphone.
One-Time Connection
For simultaneously sharing FlashAir card images or movies with multiple smartphone users. In
this type of connection, a one-time password (8 digits) different from the initial password is used
for smartphone connections. Note that using a one-time password will not overwrite the password
for Private Connection.

# Other Precautions
Accidentally using your camera to format a FlashAir card that has already been set up will erase
the Wi-Fi settings. Never format cards from the camera. Instead, use [All Erase].
If you accidentally format a FlashAir card, refer to the card user manual and use the dedicated
utility to restore the card to the original state as shipped. After this, complete the initial setup again
on the camera. For details, refer to the FlashAir card user manual.
For the card and Wi-Fi precautions, refer to the FlashAir card user manual.
Shooting on the camera while you are saving images or movies to the smartphone may stop
transfer and end the Wi-Fi connection. If transfer is interrupted, the les will not be saved. Restore
the connection and try again. To avoid problems, do not shoot (still images or movies) during
image transfer.
Similarly, in OLYMPUS IMAGE SHARE, do not tap the refresh button while shooting with the
camera.
