(attach directly) System expansion terminal WFT-E9 Wireless File Transmitter (optional) You can connect the camera in Infrastructure mode, using an access point (wireless router etc.), or in Camera Access Point mode, directly to a network device. The type of connection you can use, depends on the network function you wish to use (A 155). For an Infrastructure connection, the camera offers 4 ways to configure an access point and the method you use will depend on the type and specifications of the access point and network you plan to use. Camera Access Point: When shooting in a location where there are no access points available, the camera can serve as a wireless access point*. Wi-Fi enabled devices will be able to connect to the camera directly. * Limited only to the connection between the camera and supported Wi-Fi enabled devices. The functionality is not the same as that of commercially available access points. Infrastructure connection: WPS (button): If your wireless router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), setup will be easy and require minimal configuring and no passwords. To check if your wireless router has a WPS button and for details about how to activate the Wi-Fi protected setup, refer to the instruction manual of your wireless router. WPS (PIN code): Even if your wireless router does not have a dedicated WPS button, it may support WPS using a PIN code instead. For setup using a PIN code, you will need to know in advance how to activate the wireless router's WPS function. For details refer to the instruction manual of your wireless router. Searching for Access Points: If your access point does not support the WPS function or you cannot activate it, you can have the camera search for access points in the area. Entering the SSID and authentication method: Manually enter the SSID and other information about the access point. IMPORTANT • Depending on the country/region of use, some restrictions on outdoor use or Camera Access Point connections may apply when using the IEEE 802.11b/g/a/n/ac wireless standard. Check in advance the version of WFT-E9 transmitter used and its applicable areas of use and restrictions.
