Wi-Fi Connection Types

You can connect the camera in Infrastructure mode, using an access point (wireless router etc.), or in Camera

function you wish to use (

For an Infrastructure connection, the camera offers 4 ways to configure an access point and the method you use
will depend on the type and specifications of the access point and network you plan to use.

Point:

When shooting in a location where there are no access points available, the camera can

serve as a wireless access point*. Wi-Fi enabled devices will be able to connect to the camera directly.

* Limited only to the connection between the camera and supported Wi-Fi enabled devices. The functionality is not the same as

that of commercially available access points.

Infra

s

tructure connection:

WPS (button): If your wireless router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), setup will be
easy and require minimal configuring and no passwords. To check if your wireless router
has a WPS button and for details about how to activate the Wi-Fi protected setup, refer to
the instruction manual of your wireless router.

WPS (PIN code): Even if your wireless router does not have a dedicated WPS button, it may support WPS using
a PIN code instead. For setup using a PIN code, you will need to know in advance how to activate the wireless
router’s WPS function. For details refer to the instruction manual of your wireless router.

Searching for Access Points: If your access point does not support the WPS function or you cannot activate it,
you can have the camera search for access points in the area.

Entering the SSID and authentication method: Manually enter the SSID and other information about the access
point.

IMPORTANT

• Depending on the country/region of use, some restrictions on outdoor use or Camera Access Point

connections may apply when using the IEEE 802.11b/g/a/n/ac wireless standard. Check the applicable areas
of use and restrictions in advance.
