13 Configuring Wi-Fi
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.
