    Using the CameraAccess app* for iOS devices and Android™ devices, you can control the camcorder from a distance while you view the camcorder’s image on the device’s screen. You can use your device as a remote control and you can even record the image streamed from the camcorder directly onto your device.
    * The CameraAccess app, provided by PIXELA, is available for free from the App Store (iOS devices) and Google Play™ (Android devices).



    1. Before you perform this procedure for the first time, download and install the CameraAccess app on your iOS/Android device. The app can be downloaded for free from the following Web sites.
    App Store:
    http://appstore.com/cameraaccess
    Google Play™:
    http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.pixela.cameraaccess
    NOTE
    Installation is not necessary for users who have previously installed the application.

    2. Confirm that the camcorder is turned on and set to shooting mode.



    3. Touch [  ].



    4.  Drag your finger left/right to bring the [Remote Control+Streaming] menu to the center, and then   touch the icon to open it.



    • The camcorder’s SSID (network name) and password will appear.
    • The camcorder will be ready to connect with the iOS/Android device.



    5. iOS/Android device: Activate Wi-Fi in the settings screen.
    ・The network names of detected access points will appear.



    6. iOS/Android device: Touch the access point with the same SSID as that of the one from step 4.



    7. iOS/Android device: Enter the password displayed in step 4.


    NOTE
    As long as you do not reset the camcorder’s Wi-Fi password, you only need to enter the password the first time you connect the device.

    When the Wi-Fi connection is correctly established, [Connected] will appear on the camcorder’s screen.
    REFERENCE
    To save battery power, the camcorder’s screen will turn off after about 1 minute.

    9. iOS/Android device: Start the CameraAccess app.

    10. Use the app’s onscreen controls to operate the camcorder while viewing the live image on the device.

    11. When you have finished recording
    • Camcorder: Touch [End] to end the wireless connection and turn off the camcorder.
    • iOS/Android device: Close the CameraAccess app.

    NOTE
    • While commands are being sent from the iOS/Android device to the camcorder (start/stop video recording, photo recording, field of view change), you may notice brief stops in the live view image displayed on the iOS/Android device.
    • Using CameraAccess, the image is recorded exactly as it appears on the camcorder’s screen in step 4, regardless of the [Detect Orientation] setting.
