Before Using Wi-Fi Functions

Based on the function, the camcorder will connect wirelessly to a Wi-Fi-enabled device, such as a smartphone, directly or to a Wi-Fi network via an access point (wireless router)*. After selecting the function you want to use, follow the onscreen directions to connect the camcorder.

*Depending on the manufacturer, the access point may be referred to using a different name, such as wireless LAN router or wireless network router.

About the camcorder’s Wi-Fi standard

The camcorder’s Wi-Fi standard complies with the IEEE 802.11 b/g/n protocol and operates in the 2.4 GHz band. As such, the maximum data transfer rate is 11 Mbps for IEEE 802.11b, 54 Mbps for IEEE 802.11g, and 150 Mbps for IEEE 802.11n. Note that these are theoretical values and actual data transfer rates may differ.

IMPORTANT

•Using an unprotected Wi-Fi network can expose your files and data to monitoring by unauthorized third parties. Be aware of the risks involved.

NOTES

• When using the camcorder’s Wi-Fi func-

tions, do not cover the back portion of the camcorder with your hand or other object.

The Wi-Fi antenna is located in the back portion and covering it may interfere with wireless signals.

• Do not open the memory card slot cover during the wireless connection.

• While using Wi-Fi functions, the camcorder’s automatic power off function will be dis- abled.

• Make sure the optional WM-V1 Wireless Microphone is not attached to the camcorder. Wi-Fi functions are not available when the microphone is attached.
