Save/Load Settings

You can save/load camera settings to/from a memory card or to/from the cloud (C3 Portal). You can also load settings from another camera of the same model.

Saving/loading a setting file to/from the cloud can be performed when the camera’s system software (firmware) is Ver.4.00 or later.

A service contract is required to use C3 Portal.


If you want to use the cloud to save/load a setting file, connect the camera to the smartphone application Creators’ App for enterprise in advance.

For details on Creators’ App for enterprise, refer to the following website.
