seconds for the IP-address to be assigned) or use manual settings (IP-address is
169.254.1.100 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0)
3. Install an FTP client on the remote computer.
4. Use the following settings for the FTP client (refer to the documentation of your software
for more information)
– userid: any (not blank);
– password: any (not blank);
– IP-address: 169.254.1.218 ;
– remote port: 21 (default);
5. Use the FTP client to log in into the camcorder system. By default, the contents of the
system’s root directory will be shown.
