Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network

146

Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network

The camcorder is Wi-Fi certified and can connect to a Wi-Fi network using an external access

point (wireless router) or can itself serve as a Wi-Fi access point. The camcorder can connect to

wireless routers (access points) compliant with the 802.11a*/b/g/n protocol and that are Wi-Fi

certified (bear the logo shown on the right).

The camcorder offers 5 ways to connect to a Wi-Fi network and the method you use will depend on the type and

specifications of the access point and network you want to use. Note that using an unprotected Wi-Fi network

can expose your data to monitoring by unauthorized third parties. Be aware of the risks involved.

* The 802.11a protocol is not available for camcorders whose identification label contains the camcorder ID “ID0041” and the text

“2.4 GHz only” (A 203).

Wi-Fi network connection types

* Limited only to the connection between the camcorder and supported Wi-Fi enabled devices. The functionality is not the same

as that of commercially available access points.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the easiest way to connect to a Wi-Fi access point. You

can do so simply by pushing a button (if the access point (wireless router) you want to

connect to has a WPS button) or using a PIN code issued by the camcorder.

Wireless Routers with a WPS Button

1 Open the [Set Up New] submenu.

3 Activate the WPS function on the wireless router.

• Refer to the instruction manual of your wireless router and make sure

the wireless router’s WPS function is activated.

Operating modes:

Connection type Description

WPS (button)

If your wireless router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), setup will be easy and require minimal configuring

and no passwords. To check if your wireless router has a WPS button and for details about how to activate the

wireless router's Wi-Fi function, refer to the instruction manual of your wireless router.

WPS (PIN code)

Even if your wireless router does not have a dedicated WPS button, it may support WPS using a PIN code instead.

For setup using a PIN code, you will need to know in advance how to activate the wireless router's WPS function.

For details refer to the instruction manual of your wireless router.

Searching for Access

Points

If your access point does not support the WPS function or you cannot activate it, you can have the camcorder

search for access points in the area.

Manual Setup

If the access point you want to use has stealth mode activated and it cannot be automatically detected by the

camcorder, you can enter all the necessary settings manually. This requires more advanced knowledge of Wi-Fi and

network settings.

Camera Access Point

When shooting in a location where there are no access points available, the camcorder can serve as a wireless

access point*. Wi-Fi enabled devices will be able to connect to the camcorder directly.
