Transferring still images to or from a BIP compatible device
Note
This function is available only on models with built-in Bluetooth(TM) functionality.
You can transfer still images via Bluetooth(TM) to or from another BIP* compatible device such as a digital still camera or a computer.
Using the BIP function, you can convert the image to proper size for a file transfer via Bluetooth(TM), and reduce the transfer time compared to the standard Bluetooth(TM) file transfer.
It is a useful way to send images when there is not enough memory space available on the receiving device.
For the operation of the BIP compatible devices, refer to the operating instructions of each BIP compatible device.
