Uploading your Videos Wirelessly
If you are using an Eye-Fi card, you can automatically upload the mov-
ies from the [For Web Upload] index screen to your favorite video shar-
ing Web site. You will need to have installed the software supplied with
your Eye-Fi card and completed all the required configuration setup in
advance. Refer to the instruction manual of the Eye-Fi card.
Please read the IMPORTANT section (
"
146) before using an Eye-Fi
card.
1 Insert your Eye-Fi card into the camcorder and make sure there is
sufficient available space on the memory card.
2 Convert the desired movies (
"
142).
• When the conversion is completed, touch [End Without Connecting].
• If you are within the range of a configured network, Web upload will
start automatically.
• The status of the wireless communication is shown by the Eye-Fi

IMPORTANT
Using an Eye-Fi Card
• This product is not guaranteed to support Eye-Fi card functions (includ-
ing wireless transfer). In case of an issue with an Eye-Fi card, please
check with the card manufacturer. Also note that an approval is required
to use Eye-Fi cards in many countries or regions. Without approval, use
of the card is not permitted. If it is unclear whether the card has been
approved for use in the area, please check with the card manufacturer.
• Do not use Eye-Fi cards on airplanes and in other places where wireless
communication is forbidden. Remove the Eye-Fi card from the cam-
corder beforehand.
NOTES
• Depending on the amount of data to be uploaded and the network's
wireless connection conditions, it can take some time to upload video
files. If the wireless connection is too weak, the wireless upload may fail
and the video files will be registered as incomplete uploads.
• About power saving:
- Wireless communication drains the power of the battery pack faster
than usual. We recommend powering the camcorder using the
compact power adapter.
- While files are being uploaded wirelessly, the camcorder's automatic
power off function will be disabled.
• While recording audio with an external microphone, the interference
caused by wireless communications may result in noise being picked
up and recorded with the sound. We recommend turning off the wire-
less communication while recording.
* This menu option will appear only when using an Eye-Fi card.
• If the LOCK switch on the Eye-Fi card is set to prevent writing, you will
not be able to turn the wireless communication on/off and the status
icon will change to
.
. To use wireless communication make sure the
switch on the Eye-Fi card is not in the LOCK position.
• While using an Eye-Fi Card, the ACCESS indicator may flash from time
to time.
