What is Wireless Transfer Mode?
Wireless transfer mode, which is based on the IEEE 802.11b/g standard, is a
communication feature that allows you to wirelessly connect to a Wi-Fi-enabled
computer so that you can transfer and print pictures. You can even use the op-
tional PD-10 wireless printer adapter to wirelessly connect to a printer and print
pictures directly.
Wireless transfer mode supports both “ad-hoc” and “infrastructure” modes.
Ad-hoc Mode
This mode establishes a peer-to-peer
(one-to-one) connection between the
camera and computer.
Infrastructure Mode
This mode connects the camera and com-
puter via a wireless LAN access point.
The Optional PD-10 Wireless Printer Adapter
Using the optional PD-10 wireless printer
adapter, you can wirelessly transfer pic-
tures directly from the camera to a
PictBridge-compatible printer and print.
