If the transmission rate drops, the connection is lost, images are not
displayed smoothly, or other problems occur when using the wireless
functions, try the following corrective actions.

When using indoors, install the antenna of the access point in the
room where you are using the camera.

Do not let people or objects come between the camera and the
connected device or the antenna of the access point.

If the camera’s grip is covered by your hand, the wireless
communication speed may decrease or the wireless
communication may be terminated. It is recommended to shoot
with the camera fixed to a tripod.
If the transmission rate of a wireless LAN drops because of the
influence of the following electronic devices, stop using them or move
further away from the devices to transmit communication.

The camera communicates over wireless LANs via IEEE 802.11b/
g/n using radio waves in the 2.4 GHz band. For this reason, the
wireless LAN transmission rate will drop if there are Bluetooth
devices, microwave ovens, cordless telephones, microphones,
smartphones, other cameras, or similar devices operating on the
same frequency band nearby.

When connecting multiple cameras to one access point, make
sure the cameras’ IP addresses are different.

When multiple cameras are connected to one access point, the
transmission rate drops.

When there are multiple IEEE 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz band) access
points, leave a gap of four channels between each wireless LAN
channel to reduce radio wave interference. For example, use
channels 1, 6, and 11, channels 2 and 7, or channels 3 and 8.
