Operation using a Tablet Device
Appendix
Camera and Tablet Device Connections
There are two modes supported for connecting devices.
Infrastructure mode
Uses a Wi-Fi connection between the camera and table
device via a wireless LAN access point.
In this mode, multiple devices can communicate with the
camera wirelessly via the access point. Use this mode if
you plan to connect with and control a camera from more
than one tablet device.
Ad-hoc mode
Uses a direct Wi-Fi connection between the camera and
table device.
In this mode, an access point is not required, and only a
single device can communicate with the camera
wirelessly. Use this mode if an access point cannot be set
up due to difficulty guaranteeing the power supply or
other reasons.
For details about the connection method, refer to the help
for the tablet device.
• Connection using IEEE802.11n is not supported in ad-
hoc mode. Data encryption method uses WEP only.
• Some tablet devices are not equipped with the necessary
hardware for ad-hoc mode. For details, refer to the
operating instructions for your tablet device.
• While multiple tablet devices can connect to the camera
in infrastructure mode, only the device that is “Active”
may modify the camera settings. Other connected
devices may only monitor the settings.
• If the camera is connected using a network cable and the
IP address settings on the <LAN Setting> page and the
<Wi-Fi Setting> page in the Network menu are the same,
then Wi-Fi is disabled. To use LAN and Wi-Fi
simultaneously, set different values for the IP address
settings on the <LAN Setting> page and the <Wi-Fi
Setting> page. If the camera is not connected using a
network cable, then Wi-Fi is enabled, even if the same IP
address is set on both pages.
• If connection is difficult or unstable when using WEP as
the data encryption method, use another encryption
method or another device.
