* The Wi-Fi frequency band that can be connected to the camera is only the 2.4 GHz band.

If you select “immediately”, files on the camera will be deleted as soon as they have been imported.
If you select “after 30 days”, “after 60 days”, or “after 90 days”, the data will be deleted from the camera when the camera and Viewer are connected after the specified number of days has elapsed since the data was imported.
If the “Trash” function is enabled in the camera settings, the files are moved to the Trash on the camera.
