work via an access point (wireless router)*. After selecting the function
you want to use, follow the onscreen directions to connect the cam-
corder.

different name, such as wireless LAN router or wireless network router.
About the Wi-Fi antenna
When using the camcorder's Wi-Fi func-
tions, do not cover the back portion of the
camcorder with your hand or other object.
The Wi-Fi antenna is located in the back
portion and covering it may interfere with
wireless signals.
