Before Using Wi-Fi Functions
Based on the function, the camcorder will wirelessly connect to a
Wi-Fi-enabled device, such as a smartphone, directly or to a Wi-Fi net-
work via an access point (wireless router)*. After selecting the function
you want to use, follow the onscreen directions to connect the cam-
corder.
* Depending on the manufacturer, the access point may be referred to using a
different name, such as wireless LAN router or wireless network router.
About the Wi-Fi antenna
When using the camcorder’s Wi-Fi func-
tions, do not cover the back portion of the
camcorder with your hand or other object.
The Wi-Fi antenna is located in the back
portion and covering it may interfere with
wireless signals.
About the camcorder’s Wi-Fi standard
The camcorder’s Wi-Fi standard complies with the IEEE 802.11
b/g/n protocol and operates in the 2.4 GHz band. As such, the max-
imum data transfer rate is 11 Mbps for IEEE 802.11b, 54 Mbps for
IEEE 802.11g, and 150 Mbps for IEEE 802.11n. Note that these are
theoretical values and actual data transfer rates may differ.
