To learn more about advanced Wi-Fi functions and to see more detailed procedures, refer to the full-version Instruc- tion Manual (PDF file). In this guide, the ; mark indicates the name of the section in the Instruction Manual to which you should refer. Use the table of contents or the PDF's search feature to help find the section. To install the full-version Instruction Manual, see Installing the Cam- corder's Instruction Manual (PDF file) in the supplied Quick Guide. Introduction to Wi-Fi The camcorder's Wi-Fi functions allow you to send files wirelessly, which means that you will not need to fuss with cables. You can wire- lessly connect the camcorder to a Wi-Fi network (wireless LAN) using an access point. This type of connection is commonly referred to as infrastructure mode. You can also connect the camcorder directly to an iOS device* without using an access point. This type of connection is commonly referred to as ad hoc mode. This guide covers how to set up a connection for infrastructure mode. Refer to Glossary (A 11) for a definition of the frequently used terms in this text. The following illustrates the convenient uses of each type of Wi-Fi con- nection.
• "iOS device" is used in this text to collectively refer to Wi-Fi-enabled iOS devices.4 Wi-Fi connection Infrastructure mode Connect the camcorder to an access point on a Wi-Fi network (explained in this guide). Use this connection if you plan to save your recordings on a computer or FTP server

Access point Computer iOS device Access point LAN cable HDTV 5 Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) Wirelessly connecting to a Wi-Fi network via an access point (wireless router) is commonly referred to as infrastructure mode. If your wireless router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), setup will be easy and require minimal configuring. Perform the following procedure. If your wireless router does not support WPS or you wish to manually config- ure settings, refer to Manual Setup (; Connecting to a Wi-Fi Net- work). Refer also to the instruction manual of your wireless router and other devices you will use. General requirements

• Using an unprotected Wi-Fi network can expose your files and data to monitoring by unauthorized third parties. Be aware of the risks involved.

• When using the camcorder's Wi-Fi functions, do not cover the right side of the camcorder with your hand or other object. The Wi-Fi antenna is located on the right side and covering it may interfere with wireless signals. About the camcorder's Wi-Fi standard The camcorder's Wi-Fi standard complies with the IEEE 802.11b/g/n protocol and operates in the 2.4 GHz band. As such, the maximum data transfer rate is 11 Mbps for IEEE 802.11b, 54 Mbps for IEEE 802.11g, and 150 Mbps for IEEE 802.11n. Note that these are theo- retical values and actual data transfer rates may differ. Wi-Fi antenna6 Place the camcorder on a table or similar surface and then use the Wi-Fi functions, as shown in the illustration on the left. Operating modes: If your wireless router has a WPS button, setup will be easy and all automatic. Some wireless routers that support WPS do not have a dedicated button but use 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. 1Press T to set the camcorder to playback mode and then press . 2 Set up a new connection point.

• To replace the settings of an existing connection point, touch [Edit] instead and then manually change the settings. To delete the settings, touch [Delete] and then [Yes].

• You can set up up to three connection points for infrastructure mode ([ 1] to [ 3]). Once set up, you can use the same Wi-Fi network without any further settings. [Wi-Fi]

In most cases, this will be your wireless router. Ad hoc mode A Wi-Fi connection made directly from one device to another without using an access point. DLNA Digital Living Network Alliance. A standard for easy communication and content sharing among consumer electronic devices, comput- ers and mobile devices across a home network. FTP server An FTP server is an application running on a computer that allows users to transfer files to and from that computer. Infrastructure mode A Wi-Fi connection in which devices are connected through an access point. IP Address Exclusive number assigned to each device connected to the net- work. WPS Wi-Fi Protected Setup. Standard for easy and secure setup of Wi-Fi networks created by the Wi-Fi Alliance.12 Troubleshooting If you cannot successfully connect the camcorder to the wireless router, check below. Refer also to the instruction manual of your wire- less router and other devices you will use. Consult your dealer or a Canon Service Center if the problem persists. Cannot connect with the wireless router. - Check that the wireless router is working correctly. - The effective communication range between the camcorder and wireless router may vary depending on the strength of the wireless signal. Try using the camcorder closer to the wire- less router. - Cordless phones, microwave ovens, refrigerators and other appliances in the line of sight between the wireless router and the camcorder may interfere with the wireless signal. Try using the camcorder in a location farther away from such appliances. - Wi-Fi networks with a stealth function that do not broadcast their network name (SSID) will not be detected by the camcorder during the Wi-Fi network setup. Perform the setup manu- ally (; Manual Setup in Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network) or turn off the stealth function of the wireless router. List of Messages Refer to these messages if a message appears during Wi-Fi Protected Setup. If a message not in this list appears, refer to the full-version Instruction Manual (; List of Messages). In some cases, Wi-Fi functions may not be usable with certain acces- sories. For details, refer to the full-version Instruction Manual (PDF file). (in alphabetical order) Multiple access points detected. Try the operation again. - There are multiple wireless routers (access points) sending out a WPS signal at the same time. Try the operation again later or perform Wi-Fi Protected Setup using the PIN code option. Unable to complete WPS. - Turn off the camcorder and wireless router. After a short while, turn them on again and try again. If the problem persists, perform the Wi-Fi network setup manually (; Manual Setup in Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network). Unable to complete WPS. Try the operation again. - Some wireless routers require pressing and holding the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button. For details, refer to the instruction manual of your wireless router. - Make sure to touch [OK] on the camcorder’s screen within 2 minutes of activating the Wi-Fi Protected Setup signal on the wireless router, whether by pressing the button or by entering the PIN code. 13 Wi-Fi connection terminated - Cordless phones, microwave ovens, refrigerators and other appliances may interfere with the wireless signal. Try using the camcorder in a location farther away from such appliances. - The camcorder may not be able to connect to the wireless router if too many devices are accessing the wireless access point. Wireless communication is not working correctly - Cordless phones, microwave ovens, refrigerators and other appliances may interfere with the wireless signal. Try using the camcorder in a location farther away from such appliances. - Turn off the camcorder and wireless router. After a short while, turn them on again and per- form the Wi-Fi network setup again. If the problem persists contact a Canon Service Center.2 Table des matières 3Démarrage 3 Présentation du Wi-Fi 5 Connexion à un réseau Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) 8 Configuration requise pour les fonctions Wi-Fi 13 Dépannage Marques de commerce
