    At that point, you'll need to connect your device (phone or tablet) to your WI-1A wireless network. Keenai should then have access to the photos.

     

    Android

    1. In the Keenai application, tap Next or the X in the upper-left corner
    2. Select your camera's or wireless adapter's model number from the list of available networks (it can take up to a couple of minutes for your the wi-fi network to appear)

    From now on, when you want to transfer photos from your camera to the Keenai application, all you need to do is tap the Wi-Fi button on your camera while your Android phone is in-range of the camera. Your camera will then transfer photos to the Keenai application.

     iOS

    1. Once you have turned on the WiFi option on your Nikon camera, go to the iOS Settings application and select Wi-Fi.
    2. Choose the network for your camera's or wireless adapter's model number from the list of available networks (it can take up to a couple of minutes for your the wi-fi network to appear).
    3. Once connected, launch the Keenai application and your photos will begin to transfer to your device.
