Adjusting Wi-Fi Settings (Wi-Fi Connection)

Adjust settings for connection to the network to which the paired computer belongs.

Before the camera can connect to the computer via Wi-Fi, it must be configured for connection to the network via the Wi-Fi router or access point. Multiple network profiles can be stored on the camera and recalled as desired. [Wi-Fi Connection] settings can be adjusted via the following methods:

Connect by WPS

Configure the camera for automatic connection (Connecting via WPS (Connect by WPS)).

To connect using a WPS router or access point, simply press the device’s WPS button.

[PBC Method]: Connect using only the router WPS button. The camera connects automatically when the button is pressed.

[PIN Method]: The camera connects in PIN mode. Enter the camera PIN on the router to connect.

Connect from z List

Choose the network from a list (“Choosing a Network from a List (Connect from z List)”).

The camera will search for available networks; to connect, select a network from the list and enter the network password.

Connect manually

Adjust connection settings manually (“Connecting Manually (Connect manually)”).

To connect, enter the network name (SSID) and other settings.

  • WPS connections require a WPS-compatible router or access point.
  • Connecting via WPS in PIN mode requires that the router itself be connected to an administrator computer from which the PIN can be entered.
  • Manual connection requires that you have information on the network to which you are connecting.
  • The camera can connect via routers or access points of the following types:

    • Standard: IEEE802.11a/b/g/n/ac
    • Band: 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz
    • Security: WPA2, WPA3
  • The camera can store settings for up to eight networks. The camera will automatically connect to networks to which it has previously connected.
  • Each new connection after the eighth overwrites settings for the connection that has been left unused for the longest period of time.
  • Adding a network profile for an access point with the same MAC address as existing profile overwrites the settings for the existing profile.
  • For information on using routers or access points, see the documentation provided with the device.
  • Network profiles are not reset when you select [Initialize All Settings] for [Reset/Initialize Settings]. To reset network settings, use [Wi-Fi PC Settings] > [Reset Wi-Fi PC Settings].

Enabling Camera Wi-Fi

Before connecting to a network via Wi-Fi, you will need to enable Wi-Fi on the camera. If [Airplane Mode] is set to [On], set it to [Off].
