Introduction to Wi-Fi

The camcorder's Wi-Fi functions allow you to send files wirelessly,
which means that you will not need to fuss with cables. You can wire-
lessly connect the camcorder to a Wi-Fi network (wireless LAN) using
an access point. This type of connection is commonly referred to as
infrastructure mode
. You can also connect the camcorder directly to
an iOS device* without using an access point. This type of connection
is commonly referred to as ad hoc mode. This guide covers how to set
up a connection for infrastructure mode. Refer to Glossary (A 11) for
a definition of the frequently used terms in this text.
The following illustrates the convenient uses of each type of Wi-Fi con-
nection.
* "iOS device" is used in this text to collectively refer to Wi-Fi-enabled iOS devices.
