Sony PMW-160 - Connecting the IFU-WLM3; Making a Wi-Fi Connection

Using Wi-Fi Connection
28
Preparations
Depending on the microphone used, a humming/
buzzing noise may be recorded. In this case,
inserting the cable of the external microphone
into the cable clamp (page 40), which is located
under the AUDIO IN CH-1/CH-2 connectors,
should solve the problem.
Open the cover of the external device connector,
then connect the IFU-WLM3.
Notes
• The IFU-WLM3 USB Wireless LAN Module (sold
separately) may not be available in some countries/
regions.
• Attach/remove the IFU-WLM3 after the camcorder is
turned off.
• If you use a wireless device near the camcorder, the
camcorder may not work correctly. Turn the wireless
device off near the camcorder.
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.
