Based on the function, the camcorder will wirelessly connect to a

Wi-Fi-enabled device, such as a smartphone, directly or to a Wi-Fi net-

work via an access point (wireless router)*. After selecting the function

you want to use, follow the onscreen directions to connect the cam-

corder.

* Depending on the manufacturer, the access point may be referred to using a

different name, such as wireless LAN router or wireless network router.
