Wireless Auto Import

What Does This Do?

The Wireless Auto Import software allows you to import images to a Macintosh® computer connected to a wireless network using the Wi-Fi® connection.

This software (version1.1) provides the following benefits over version 1.0:

  • Adds support for 2013 models
  • Adds support for file transfers with both MTP and MSC protocol connections to the destination computer
  • Prevents the computer from going into sleep mode while importing via a Wi-Fi connection (except OS v10.5)

Note: It's necessary to use the Wireless Import Device Settings to authenticate your device to the computer using a USB connection prior to usage.
