Saving Images to a Connected Computer Connect to your access point via Wi-Fi as follows. Also refer to the access point user manual. Confirming Access Point Compatibility Confirm that the Wi-Fi router or base station conforms to the Wi-Fi standards in "Camera" (=135). Connection methods vary depending on whether the access point supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS, =78) or not (=80). For non-WPS access points, check the following information. • Network name (SSID/ESSID) The SSID or ESSID for the access point you use. Also called the "access point name" or "network name". • Network authentication / data encryption (encryption method / encryption mode) The method for encrypting data during wireless transmission. Check which security setting is used: WPA2-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK (TKIP), WPA-PSK (AES), WPA-PSK (TKIP), WEP (open system authentication), or no security. • Password (encryption key / network key) The key used when encrypting data during wireless transmission.

For information on WPS compatibility and for instructions on checking settings,
refer to the access point user manual.
A router is a device that creates a network (LAN) structure for connecting multiple
computers. A router that contains an internal Wi-Fi function is called a “Wi-Fi router”.
This guide refers to all Wi-Fi routers and base stations as “access points”.
If you use MAC address filtering on your Wi-Fi network, be sure to add the
camera’s MAC address to your access point. You can check your camera’s
MAC address by choosing MENU (
=
21
)►[
] tab ► [Wireless settings]
► [Wi-Fi Settings] ► [Check MAC Address].
Using WPS-Compatible Access Points
WPS makes it easy to complete settings when connecting devices over Wi-
Fi. You can use either Push Button Configuration Method or PIN Method for
settings on a WPS supported device.
1
Confirm that the computer is
connected to an access point.
z
For instructions on checking the
connection, refer to the device and
access point user manuals.
2
Access the Wi-Fi menu.
z
Press the [
] button.

If the [Device Nickname] screen is
displayed, press the [
][
] buttons to
choose [OK], and then press the [
]
button.
Saving Images to a Connected Computer
Connect to your access point via Wi-Fi as follows.
Also refer to the access point user manual.
Confirming Access Point Compatibility
Confirm that the Wi-Fi router or base station conforms to the Wi-Fi
standards in “Camera” (
=
135
).
Connection methods vary depending on whether the access point supports
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS,
=
78
) or not (
=
80
). For non-WPS
access points, check the following information.
Network name (SSID/ESSID)
The SSID or ESSID for the access point you use. Also called the “access
point name” or “network name”.
Network authentication / data encryption (encryption method / encryption
mode)
The method for encrypting data during wireless transmission. Check
which security setting is used: WPA2-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK (TKIP),
WPA-PSK (AES), WPA-PSK (TKIP), WEP (open system authentication),
or no security.
Password (encryption key / network key)
The key used when encrypting data during wireless transmission. Also
called the “encryption key” or “network key”.
Key index (transmit key)
The key set when WEP is used for network authentication / data
encryption. Use “1” as the setting.
If system administrator status is needed to adjust network settings,
contact the system administrator for details.
These settings are very important for network security. Exercise
adequate caution when changing these settings.
