Configuring Wi-Fi
13
13.1 General
Depending on your camera configuration, you can connect the camera to a wireless local
area network (WLAN) using Wi-Fi, or let the camera provide Wi-Fi access to another
device.
You can connect the camera in two different ways:
• Most common use: Setting up a peer-to-peer connection (also called ad hoc or P2P
connection). This method is primarily used with other devices, e.g., an iPhone or iPad.
• Less common use: Connecting the camera to a WLAN.
13.2 Setting up a peer-to-peer connection (most common use)
Follow this procedure:
1. On the main menu, go to the Mode button
and push the joystick.
2. On the Mode menu, select Settings and push the joystick.
3. Go to theConnectivity tab.
4. Under Wi-Fi, select Connect device.
5. Select Wi-Fi settings.
6. Enter values for the following parameters:
• SSID (the name of the network).
• Channel (the channel that the other device is broadcasting on).
• Encryption (the encryption algorithm, e.g., None or WEP).
• Key (the access key to the network).
• Address (the IP address for the network).
• Gateway (the gateway IP address for the network).
Note
These parameters are set for your camera's network. They will be used by the external device to
connect that device to the network.
