Wi-Fi Functions
This chapter contains information about how to operate the
Wi-Fi functions of your camcorder, starting with the Wi-Fi net-
work setup needed to add your camcorder to an existing
Wi-Fi network.
Introduction to Wi-Fi
The camcorder's Wi-Fi functions allow you to send files wirelessly,
which means that you will not need to fuss with cables. You can wire-
lessly connect the camcorder to a Wi-Fi network (wireless LAN) using
an access point (commonly referred to as infrastructure mode) or
directly to an iOS device* without using a wireless access point (com-
monly referred to as ad hoc mode). The steps you will perform will
depend on how you plan to use your recordings. Refer to
Glossary

* "iOS device" is used in this text to collectively refer to Wi-Fi-enabled iOS devices.
