Just bought a Panasonic lumix DCFZ 82 camera, all singing, all dancing compared to my old Canon sureshot. To share my photos i have downloaded Panasonic image app and to transfer photos I connect the camera to the phone app, by Wi-Fi.
MY question is what allowances does this use, as it disconnects my phone from my home Wi-Fi, does it use my data allowance????? Sorry if this comes across as a stupid question, but I am not very IT savvy at all😳 would like to know especially if I want to transfer photos to my phone, whilst out and about. Any info welcomed, cheers 👍

Connecting camera to phone by wifi - what allowances does this use?

Hi @helbo2012
Connecting your phone with your Panasonic camera does not use data allowance. It is connected by WiFi direct feature which is using WiFi signal to transfer data between two devices and does not require any of these devices to be online. You also could turn off mobile data in the settings of your phone and transfer of picture still can be made :)
Hope I could help and put your mind at ease
Kind Regards
