    About the images to be uploaded

    The first time, all the images on the memory card will be uploaded to the cloud.
    From the second time onward, all images shot after the date and time of the last image uploaded from that card will be uploaded. Images shot with the cloud functions of the camera, Creators' App, and Creators' Cloud Web turned off are also uploaded. If uploading is not needed, delete the unneeded images in Creators' App or Creators' Cloud Web after uploading.

    Format of uploaded images:

    You can change the format with (Cameras) → [Camera Settings] → [Cloud Function] of Creators' App or Creators' Cloud Web.

    When two cards are inserted into the memory card slots:

    The first time, all the images on both memory cards will be uploaded*. From the second time onward, images shot with each card after the date and time of the last image uploaded from each card will be uploaded. (Example: Even if an image was uploaded one day before from card A, if the last time an image was uploaded from card B was 4 days before, images shot 3 days before with card B will be uploaded.) It is convenient to use different cards according to the purpose, such as work and private life.

    • * You can also restrict uploading from a single card in the Creators' App setting (Cameras) → [Camera Settings] → [Cloud Function] → [Upload media].

    About interruption of uploading

    Uploading will be interrupted if the camera's power switch is set to OFF, and will resume from the interruption point when the power switch is set to ON again.
    If uploading is interrupted, a notification will be sent to your smartphone. If notifications are turned off on your smartphone, a notification will be sent to (Notifications) in the upper right of the home screen.
