    You can wirelessly transfer files (recordings) directly to a computer or an FTP server. You will need a correctly configured FTP server. During the manual setup procedure, you will need to enter the FTP server's IP address, port, user name, password and file transfer destination (where the files will be transferred to).
    To enter text for the various settings, use the virtual keyboard


    CAUTION
    • Using an unprotected Wi-Fi network can expose your files and data to monitoring by unauthorized third parties. Be aware of the risks involved.
    • Using the Wi-Fi functions outdoors while the camcorder is operating in the 5 GHz band may be prohibited depending on the laws of the country/region you are in.

    Step 2: Connect to an Access Point Using Wi-Fi
    Connect to an access point.
    If you have already completed the settings for connecting to an access point, proceed to Step 3: Transferring Files

    • If an access point has not been registered, an access point registration message will be displayed. Touch [OK].



    1. Select the desired connection method.



    You can select from the following four connection methods.
    For more information on your access point, please refer to the access point’s instruction manual.
    [WPS: Button]*Simply press and hold the WPS button on your access point and then touch the camcorder’s screen. This is the easiest connection method if you are using a WPS-compatible router.
    [WPS: PIN Code]*Access the access point’s configuration screen using your Web browser. The camcorder will give you a PIN code, which you will enter into the browser. You will need a WPS compatible router and a computer or other device connected to it.
    [Search for Access Points]Following the camcorder’s onscreen instructions, you select your access point from a list of detected SSIDs and then enter your password.
    [Manual Setup]You manually enter the access point’s SSID, password and other network settings. This method is recommended for advanced users of Wi-Fi networks.td>

    * WPS, which stands for Wi-Fi Protected Setup, is a standard that makes connecting to an access point easier.




    If your wireless router is WPS-compatible, connecting the camcorder to it can be very easy. If you cannot successfully connect the camcorder using WPS, try using the [Search for Access Points] method.
    2-a-1. [WPS: Button] method
    2-b-1. [WPS: PIN Code] method
    2-c-1. [Search for Access Points] method

    IMPORTANT
    • Observe the following precautions when transferring files. Failing to do so may interrupt the transfer and incomplete files may remain at the transfer destination.
    - Do not open the double memory card slot cover.
    - Do not disconnect the power source or turn off the camcorder.
    • If the file transfer is interrupted, select [New files] and perform the file transfer again.
    • If incomplete files remain at the transfer destination, check the content and make sure they are safe to delete before deleting them.
    NOTE
    Depending on the access point's settings and capability, it may take some time to transfer files.

    IMPORTANT
    • When using the camcorder’s Wi-Fi functions, do not cover the Wi-Fi antenna with your hand or other object. Covering it may interfere with wireless signals.
    • While using Wi-Fi functions other than remotely controlling the camcorder using the Wi-Fi Remote application, do not open the double memory card slot cover.
    • Make sure the optional WM-V1 Wireless Microphone is not attached to the camcorder. Wi-Fi functions are not available when the microphone is attached.
