In this mode, once a connection is established between the camera and your phone, any photos that you take are automatically transferred to your phone and placed in your Gallery (if you use Android). The main Wi-Fi feature of the camera is called Mobile Link, and this is a feature that you can either enable from the on-screen menu when you move the mode dial to 'Wi-Fi', or you can simply tap on its icon on the touchscreen in any shooting mode (it's the icon just above the 'tap to focus and shoot' icon). We used the latter method and it worked easily enough. Once it's installed, you can then manually connect to the Wi-Fi network that the camera emits when you enable its Wi-Fi Direct function, or you can use NFC to tap your phone on the right side of the camera to get the password for the camera's network automatically. This means downloading the Samsung Smart Camera app. Some preparation is needed before you can use the wireless features. We think the implementation needs work, though.

The camera's Wi-Fi solution is mainly for those of you who want to capture and immediately share higher quality photos of night scenes, and scenes with plenty of depth of field, for example. A lot of you may baulk at the idea of carrying a dedicated camera and then using your phone to upload photos to social media sites - you could just use your phone to take the photo, too.

It's the wireless features that are perhaps the most interesting part of this camera, as they allow it to connect directly to your smartphone so that you can share your photos online almost instantly while you're out and about.
