Just shoot a picture with your digital camera with the tiny WU-1a attached to it, and images you choose will be automatically transferred to your smartphone or tablet, ready to share online!

Any image you choose to transfer to your smartphone can be treated like any other image--edited, emailed, texted, uploaded to a blog or social network site. You can even use the WU-1a to trigger the camera's shutter release using your smartphone or tablet, with a range of approximately 33 to 49' (10 to 15 m)--so including yourself in group shots with your friends is even easier.

Images captured by compatible Nikon Cameras, or already saved to a memory card and inserted into the camera, can be transferred to any compatible Android/iOS smartphone or tablet.
Easy Sharing
Transferred images can also be edited, emailed, texted, or uploaded to a blog or social networking site--just like any other image on your smartphone or tablet!
Wi-Fi Remote Shooting
Let your smartphone or tablet take control of your camera! Remotely activate Live View on the camera to see from the camera's perspective and even trigger the shutter release from your smartphone or tablet. Capture perfect for group shots with you in it!
