Sharing Pictures
Pictures are the best way of remembering the moment, but
an even better treat is to share them with others.
Two new features allow you to either instantly share a series
of pictures as they are taken or quickly share a picture
without using email or messaging.
•
Share Shot
is a great way to instantly share a series of pictures
among a group of users. The best example for this feature is
having multiple users instantly sharing each others pictures at a
company or family gathering. As each person takes a separate
picture with their own device, they are all pooled together and
instantly appear in each user’s Gallery.
No more “Email your pictures to me later”. Each person walks out
of the event with all the pictures taken by everyone.
This method of image transfer requires that both devices have
Wi-Fi Direct active and be paired prior to use.
Note:
You can only share a shot with other external users who
also have their Wi-Fi Direct feature active.

Enabling Share Shot
Share shot is a Wi-Fi Direct group sharing feature where
multiple users can Wi-Fi connect their devices and then all
share each others pictures in real-time. This is really useful
in group events (ex: family gathering or company party)
where you don’t want to have to email everyone later and
make sure you all can share your pics at a later date.
For more information, refer to “Wi-Fi Direct Setup and
Settings” on page 276.

•
