Preparations
inserting the cable of the external microphone
into the cable clamp (page 42), which is located
under the AUDIO IN CH-1/CH-2 connectors,
should solve the problem.
Two types of Wi-Fi connections are available. In
“ad-hoc mode”, you can make a peer-to-peer Wi-
Fi connection between a computer and
camcorder. In “infrastructure mode”, you can
make Wi-Fi connections between a computer and
multiple camcorders via a wireless LAN access
point (building a LAN).
To make a network setting
Change settings under OTHERS >Network in the
setup menu as required.
