About the Network Functions

After you connect the camcorder to a network via Wi-Fi (A174) or wired LAN (A179), you can use the following network functions. You can save up to 5 network configurations and switch easily between them depending on your working environment. You can check the current network settings on the status screens (A215) and change them if necessary (A181).

Before using the network functions

The instructions in this chapter assume you already have a correctly configured and working network, network device(s) and/or Wi-Fi access point. If necessary, refer to the documentation provided with the network devices you want to use.

Configuring the network settings requires adequate knowledge about configuring and using wired (Ethernet) and/or wireless (Wi-Fi) networks. Canon cannot provide support regarding network configurations.

IMPORTANT

Canon shall not be liable for any loss of data or damage resulting from incorrect network configuration or settings. Additionally, Canon shall not be liable for any loss or damage caused by the use of network functions.

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

• About the Wi-Fi antenna: When using the camcorder's Wi-Fi functions, do not cover the Wi-Fi antenna with your hand or other object. Covering it may interfere with wireless signals.

• Do not open either of the CF card slot covers or the SD card slot cover while using network functions.
