Overview of the Camcorder's Wi-Fi Functions
■
Before Using Wi-Fi Functions
Based on the function, the camcorder will wirelessly connect
directly to a Wi-Fi-enabled device, such as a smartphone, or to a
Wi-Fi network via an access point (wireless router)*. After select-
ing the function you want to use, follow the onscreen directions
to connect the camcorder.
* Depending on the manufacturer, the access point may be referred to
using a different name, such as wireless LAN router or wireless net-
work router.
About the camcorder’s Wi-Fi standard
The camcorder’s Wi-Fi standard complies with the IEEE
802.11b/g/n protocol and operates in the 2.4 GHz band. As
such, the maximum 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.
• Using an unprotected Wi-Fi network can expose your
files and data to monitoring by unauthorized third par-
ties. Be aware of the risks involved.
