About the Network Functions
You can connect the camcorder to a wireless network or a compatible network device using Wi-Fi (A 154) or to
a wired network using an Ethernet cable (A 159).
Network functions and connection types
1
Connection to a Wi-Fi network via an external access point (wireless router, etc.)
2
Direct connection to one Wi-Fi-enabled device where the camcorder serves as the Wi-Fi access point.
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 camcorder is shipped with default passwords so you can test the network functions as soon as possible.
Changing the initial settings is recommended. Be aware of any data security risks involved.
NOTES
About the Wi-Fi antenna: 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.
Do not open the card slot covers while using network functions.
Do not place cables connected to the SDI terminal or HDMI OUT terminal near
the Wi-Fi antenna. Doing so may negatively affect the wireless communication
over Wi-Fi.
