Nikon Consumer Digital Cameras and Wi-Fi

In 2005, Nikon brought Wi-Fi capability to consumer digital cameras with the launch of the Nikon COOLPIX P1 & P2. The built-in Wi-Fi technology allowed the cameras to transfer images directly to a computer and viewed by Nikon’s PictureProject software. The P1 and P2 also allowed for cable-free direct printing with PictBridge compatible printers.There were also the world’s first compact camera with built-in Wi-Fi technology.
Today, a broad range of Nikon DSLR cameras leverage Wi-Fi via wireless adaptors, from the top-of-the-line professional D4 (using the WT-5 wireless transmitter) to the compact, consumer friendly D3200 (using the new WU-1a wireless mobile adaptor). New advances in Nikon Wi-Fi capabilities allow even more control, including the ability to use a p.3
smart device to operate camera controls – even the ability to start and stop HD video recording from a smart phone. And in the age of mobile phones, Nikon also has made it simple to send images from a D3200 directly to a smart phone or tablet for immediate and simple sharing via social media platforms. In addition, a majority of Nikon compact digital cameras support Eye-Fi, SD cards that have built-in Wi-Fi functionality.
