Introduction to Wi-Fi

Before using Wi-Fi functions

Based on the function, the camcorder will wirelessly connect to a Wi-Fi-enabled device, such as a smartphone, or directly 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 standardThe specifications of the camcorder's Wi-Fi standard are as follows.

Wi-Fi protocol, operating frequency: IEEE 802.11b/g/n-compliant, 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11a/n-compliant, 5 GHz*

Maximum data transfer rate: 11 Mbps (IEEE 802.11b) 54 Mbps (IEEE 802.11a/g)* 150 Mbps (IEEE 802.11n)

These are theoretical values and actual data transfer rates may differ.

* The IEEE 802.11a protocol and 5 GHz operating frequency are not available for this camcorder.

If the identification plate on the bottom of the camcorder contains "ID0030" and "2.4 GHz only", then the camcorder can operate in the 2.4 GHz band but not in the 5 GHz band.
