Internet service provider
To access the Internet, you have to sign up with an Internet service provider (ISP). The
provider acts as an intermediary between your camcorder and the Internet. After you
sign up with a provider, you can view various web pages through the Internet, and you
can send/receive email with your email address. The email address is a destination
address in an email transmission. Various other services may be available depending on
your provider.
Notes
•A credit card number may be required to sign up with some providers.
•The connection fee differs depending on providers.
Using the recommended provider (So-net)
“So-net” is an Internet service provider. For details of “So-net” services, refer to the

The “So-net” option makes it easy to set the Internet and email preferences. Once you
complete DI customer registration, your DI customer ID and password are issued. Enter
your DI customer ID, password, and the telephone number of an access point, and you
can access the Internet right away.

Using America Online (AOL)

“AOL”, go to keyword: Handycam on your computer.
You cannot access the Internet via “AOL” when your camcorder is connected with a
USB-Ethernet Adaptor.

Using other providers
When using another provider or when not using the “So-net” or “AOL” option, you
have to set the Internet and email preferences. For details of setup, see “Setting your
provider preferences for other providers” (p. 54).
Note
You cannot use the network function when using a provider other than AOL that
requires its own exclusive browser software.
