What file types/sizes should I set the camera to? The first question you need to ask yourself is what will you be doing with the photos that you take? Will you be printing them or just using them digitally? Are you only taking snapshots that you are going to share on social media sites or do you want the highest possible resolution from your camera? Your Nikon camera has a high resolution image sensor and it can create large files. Once on your smart device, you can upload images to image sharing or SNS websites, or send them to friends and family via email or text messaging. Nikon Z series mirrorless cameras can also connect to personal computers to download directly via Wi-Fi. What types of devices can I connect my camera to wirelessly? Nikon mirrorless cameras, DSLRs and COOLPIX models allow you to connect to smart devices: smartphones and tablets. Nikon digital cameras also utilize great NIKKOR lenses, as well as many features that allow you to be creative with your photography. The camera’s sensor is designed to give you a higher resolution, wider dynamic range, and the ability to shoot in low light and use high ISOs-all of which allow for the generation of high quality image files. This is because Nikon digital cameras utilize larger image sensors, and powerful image processing engines. Although your smartphone probably has the capability of shooting photos, your Nikon digital camera will take better photos. Check your camera’s user's manual before you begin setting up the wireless connection between your camera and smart device to make sure you’ve downloaded the correct app to your smartphone or tablet. Newer model cameras use the SnapBridge app. Older camera models may utilize the Wireless Mobile Utility app.

The camera and your smart device create the connection. And a great feature of Nikon cameras that feature wireless connectability is that you don't need to be at a Wi-Fi hotspot. Using these cameras, you can seamlessly transfer images from your Bluetooth- or Wi-Fi®-enabled camera to your compatible smartphone or tablet for easy sharing via email, text or uploading to an image sharing site.
