About image transfer

You can select and transfer the necessary images shot using the camera to a registered FTP server, and automatically transfer images to a registered FTP server while recording. The methods to connect an FTP server and the destination server can be selected separately so that settings can be quickly changed according to the network environment and other factors during recording and transfer.

Types of transfer that can be executed by this camera

Batch Transfer and One Image Transfer target the slot set by [Select Playback Media]. Auto Transfer targets the slot set by [Recording Media]/[Recording Media] (default setting).

Batch Transfer:
You can narrow down the transfer target, such as protected images or non-transferred images, and transfer the applicable images together as a batch.
Auto Transfer:
You can automatically transfer images during shooting.
One Image Transfer:
You can transfer only the image being played back.


Images that can be transferred

You can transfer images from the camera in the JPEG, HEIF, or RAW format for still images and in the XAVC HS, XAVC S, or XAVC S-I format for movies.


What you can do during transfer operations

  • You can record and play back still images/movies even during transfer operations.
  • If you press the shutter button halfway while the transfer underway screen is displayed, the display will change to the recording screen.
  • If you select [Close] on the transfer underway screen, the playback screen will appear.
  • You can select [FTP Transfer Func.] from the MENU or press the custom key to which the [FTP Transfer] function is assigned during the transfer to return from the recording or playback screen to the transfer underway screen.
  • You can turn the camera off during image transfer. If the camera is turned off during image transfer, the transfer will resume the next time the camera is turned on.


To cancel FTP transfer

Select [Cancel Transfer] on the transfer underway screen.

Note

  • Basic knowledge of FTP servers is required to use the FTP transfer function.
  • The explanations in this manual are based on the assumption that your network or FTP server environment is ready to use. For information on how to prepare the network environment, check with the manufacturer of each device.
  • Do not remove the memory card from the camera during transfer operations.
  • Images cannot be transferred from an SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card if the write-protect switch or erase-protect switch is set to “LOCK.”
  • Scheduled image transfers are canceled in the following situations.
    • The memory card containing the images to be transferred is removed from the camera.
    • The battery pack is removed from the camera.
    • The camera is connected to a computer via USB and a Mass Storage connection is established.
  • When the [Connection Error] screen appears, the network connection has been lost. Check the status of the connection with the access point, the settings of the FTP server or the camera, etc. Select MENU → (Network) → [FTP Transfer] → [FTP Transfer Func.] → [Display FTP Error Info.] to display the connection error screen again.
  • If the image transfer becomes interrupted due to network disconnection, etc., the transfer will resume when the camera is reconnected to the network. An image whose transfer was initially interrupted and is then transferred after reconnection will have an underscore and numeric characters added to the end of the file name even if [Same File Name] under [Directory Settings] is set to [Overwrite].
