Before using the network functions
• The instructions in this chapter assume you already have a correctly configured and working network, network
device(s) and/or Wi-Fi access point. If necessary, refer to the documentation provided with the network
devices you plan to use.
• Configuring the network settings requires adequate knowledge about configuring and using wired (Ethernet)
and/or wireless (Wi-Fi) networks. Canon cannot provide support regarding network configurations.
IMPORTANT
• Data transmitted over networks is not encrypted.
• Canon shall not be liable for any loss of data or damage resulting from incorrect network configuration or
settings. Additionally, Canon shall not be liable for any loss or damage caused by the use of network functions.
• Using an unprotected Wi-Fi network can expose your data to monitoring by unauthorized third parties. Also,
the camera is shipped with some default passwords. Changing the initial settings is recommended.
NOTES
• About the Wi-Fi antenna: When using the camera's Wi-Fi functions,
do not cover the Wi-Fi antenna with your hand or other object.
Covering it may interfere with wireless signals.
• When connecting the camera to a wireless network using Wi-Fi, we
recommend removing the camera grip to help ensure a stable
connection.
• Do not open the card slot covers of any recording media while using
network functions.
• Do not lay cables connected to the SDI terminal or HDMI OUT terminal
or unit cables near the Wi-Fi antenna. Doing so may negatively affect
the wireless communication over Wi-Fi.
