Wi-Fi Functions
This chapter contains information about how to operate the
Wi-Fi functions of your camcorder, starting with the Wi-Fi net-
work setup needed to add your camcorder to an existing
Wi-Fi network.

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 (commonly referred to as infrastructure mode) or
directly to an iOS device* without using a wireless access point (com-
monly referred to as ad hoc mode). The steps you will perform will
depend on how you plan to use your recordings. Refer to Glossary
(A 173) for a definition of the frequently used terms in this text.
* "iOS device" is used in this text to collectively refer to Wi-Fi-enabled iOS devices.
Wi-Fi connection
Connect the camcorder to an access point on a Wi-Fi network (A 157). Use this
connection if you plan to save your recordings on a computer or FTP server (A 162) and
then upload videos to YouTube and Facebook (A 166).
