Import MAC Address

When you need to supply the MAC address of the camera you are using to a third party, such as the sponsor when taking photos at a large-scale event, or the like, you can import the camera’s MAC address into the Transfer & Tagging and then send it to the person requesting it. The MAC address is displayed as a QR code on the camera, and this is scanned by the Transfer & Tagging. You can import both Wi-Fi and wired LAN MAC addresses.
