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. This type of connection is commonly referred to as
infrastructure mode . You can also connect the camcorder directly to
an iOS device* without using an access point. This type of connection
is commonly referred to as
ad hoc mode . This guide covers how to set
up a connection for infrastructure mode. Refer to Glossary (
A

nection.
