tion.

tion will be disabled.
Before Using Wi-Fi Functions
Based on the function, the camcorder will wirelessly connect to a
Wi-Fi-enabled device, such as a smartphone, directly or to a Wi-Fi net-
work via an access point (wireless router)*. After selecting the function
you want to use, follow the onscreen directions to connect the cam-
corder.
* Depending on the manufacturer, the access point may be referred to using a
different name, such as wireless LAN router or wireless network router.
• Make sure the optional WM-V1 Wireless Microphone is not attached
to the camcorder. Wi-Fi functions are not available when the micro-
phone is attached.

When using the camcorder's Wi-Fi func-
tions, do not cover the back portion of the
camcorder with your hand or other object.
