Camera Access Point - Canon XF705 Instruction Manual

Camera Access Point

In this mode the camcorder itself serves as a wireless access point to which other Wi-Fi-enabled devices can
connect. Initially, basic settings for a Camera Access Point connection (network name (SSID):
[XF705-xxxx_Canon0C], password: [12345678]) are already saved under network configuration profile [1:]. You
can use the default settings to connect immediately to the camcorder or follow the procedure below if you wish
to change the settings.
