Once the wireless transmitter is correctly attached to the camera, you can connect

Access Point mode, directly to a network device. The type of connection you can use, depends
on the network function you wish to use (
A
For an Infrastructure connection, the camera offers 3 ways to configure an access point and the method you use
will depend on the type and specifications of the access point and network you plan to use.
Camera Access Point:
When shooting in a location where there are no access points available, the camera can
serve as a wireless access point*. Wi-Fi enabled devices will be able to connect to the camera directly.
* Limited only to the connection between the camera and supported Wi-Fi enabled devices. The functionality is not the same as
that of commercially available access points.
Infrastructure connection:
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 Wi-Fi protected setup, 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 camera search for access points in the area.
IMPORTANT
• Depending on the country/region of use, some restrictions on outdoor use or camera access point
connections may apply when operating the IEEE802.11a/n wireless standard in the 5 GHz band. For details
