8.21 Configuring Wi-Fi

Depending on your camera configuration, you can connect the camera to a wireless local
area network (WLAN) using Wi-Fi, or let the camera provide Wi-Fi access to another
device.
You can connect the camera in two different ways:
• Most common use: Setting up a peer-to-peer connection (also called an ad hoc or P2P
connection). This method is primarily used with other devices, e.g., an iPhone or iPad.
• Less common use: Connecting the camera to a WLAN.

1. Push the center of the navigation pad. This displays a toolbar.
