into the camcorder from a smartphone, tablet, or
other device over a wireless LAN connection.
Using the Wi-Fi remote control allows you to
operate the camcorder remotely. This allows you
to start/stop recording or configure settings
remotely, and is useful in applications where the
camcorder is fixed in a remote location or
mounted on a crane, for example.
The Wi-Fi Remote screen is automatically
resized to match the screen size of the connected
device.
